Overview

NEXT-LEVEL DESIGN

Dynamic By Design

Our design inspiration for the Cleer NEXT audiophile headphone was driven by a singular idea: headphones that evoke the feelings of a favorite timepiece. Every design decision was influenced by a desire to create a product that would be considered delightfully exquisite, intimately personal and intended for decades of enjoyment--with zero compromise in performance, durability or comfort.

40MM MAGNESIUM DRIVERS

Ironless Driver Technology

Surpassing conventional soft-iron, single magnet designs, the NEXT audiophile headphone employ a patented Ironless motor assembly paired with a proprietary magnesium diaphragm for an emotional listening experience.

ALLOY CONSTRUCTION

Premium & Durable Build Quality

6061-T6 aluminum was chosen for its light weight, high-strength, and workability, in this case resulting in an eye-catching design that’s equally as comfortable.

FLAWLESS AUDIO REPRODUCTION

Open Back Design

The open-back design provides two immediate benefits: natural, spacious, sound reproduction devoid of coloration, and improved transient response-the headphone’s ability to respond to sudden changes within the waveform.

MEMORY FOAM LAMBSKIN EARPADS

Luxurious Comfort

Especially shaped to surround the ear and hug the contours of the head, memory foam earpads deliver a superb wearing experience with the added benefit of enhanced acoustic performance.

EFFICIENT CONNECTIVITY FOR HI-RES SOUND

Wired Connection

Quad-core, four-conductor cable allows for efficient connectivity. LEMO® push-pull, self-latching connectors for solid connection.

Does it need to be tempered?

We don't have an official position on the theory that headphones need to be ""tempered"". NEXT Audiophile Headphones have always been a good headset. As users become more accustomed to specific headphones, they will begin to notice the frequency response range and nuances of the headset, so it is said that the headphone and its features are more appreciated. For more information on the ""tempering"" theory, see Head-Fi.org (http://www.head-fi.org).


What kind of amplifier is required for NEXT headphone?

What is the difference between open and closed design headphones?

Open type means that the back of the driver's horn is connected to the outside world. When in use, the user can hear the outside world, and the people around can hear the sound from the headphones. The Audiophile Headphones have a large sound field, a more natural sound, and a more balanced tri-band.


If the headphones only have sound in one ear, or the sound level in each ear is different, how can I solve this issue?

Need to determine where the problem is - headphones or audio source 1) Make sure the audio plug of the headset is securely connected to the audio device. The properly connected cable should not swing. If the plug is shaking, the connection is loose. Note: This may be caused by a cable that is not fully inserted, or it may be a problem with the input, or sometimes if the device to be connected has a housing that will prevent the cable from being properly inserted. 2) Make sure that there are no objects like dust or fluff in the headphone jack of the audio source, which may inhibit the connection and cause sound problems. 3) Check if the connection jack is clean. If the oil on your hands accumulates on the stopper or the sweat evaporates on the stopper, salt and dirt may prevent proper connection. You can wipe the connection jack with alkaline alcohol. 4) Try using the headphones on other audio sources to check if it is not caused by the original audio source (or settings on the audio source). If you are connected to an alternate audio source, the problem does not exist, which means the headset is good and the original audio source has problem. 5) If it is determined that there is a problem with the headphone, please contact us directly for more information.
