Audiophile sound on the go: beyerdynamic
presents the in-ear Xelento remote headphones – for an authentic and intense
music experience 

Singapore, March 11, 2017: When precision meets passion, what results is
a product like the Xelento remote. The new in-ear headphones from beyerdynamic
embodies the DNA of the audio specialist from Heilbronn, Germany, like no
other. It combines German engineering skill with superb craftsmanship and love
for detail.

beyerdynamic is set to launch its own Tesla
in-ear on the market following on from the AK T8iE, which was produced in
collaboration with Astell&Kern. It represents the culmination of more than
90 years’ experience in audio development.

High-end sound experience

With its intense and intoxicating sound, the Xelento remote impresses even the most discerning
audiophiles. And the reason is beyerdynamic’s unique Tesla technology, which
covers the complete acoustic range in a neutral and precise manner. Its
excellent efficiency together with outstanding impulse fidelity makes it ideal
for use on smartphones or high-resolution audio players. The in-ear version of
the Tesla driver has been fully redeveloped. Ring magnets – 16 times smaller
than in the reference T 1 headphones – and an air gap in the micrometre range
redefine the limits of what is technically feasible. 

Such progress can no longer be perceived with
the naked eye but it can scarcely be hidden from the ear. A specially extended
frequency response makes details audible which are simply lost with other
in-ear models. The powerful, ultra-precise bass rounds off the sound at the
lower end, without pushing itself into the limelight. The Xelento
remote thus emphasises the voices and instruments especially vividly
and effortlessly. The acoustic experts in Heilbronn have tuned it perfectly –
for a high-end sound that goes straight to the ear.

High-end features

The universal remote control in the cable
gives the Xelento remote the second part of its name. It
controls the volume and music playback of the player by means of the 3.5 mm
jack connector and allows calls to be made and received on the smartphone at
the press of a button. The integrated microphone transforms the headphones into
an audiophile headset. And for those who don’t require a microphone and prefer
to control playback on the player, a pure audio cable can be used instead. The
cables are detachable, which means they can be replaced quickly.

Silver-plated cables provide as little
resistance as possible to the sound flowing through their cores. They are
coated with Kevlar and tested in 40,000 bending cycles. Gold-plated MMCX plugs
ensure good contact and fast and easy replacement. The headphones can thus
withstand years of outdoor use under the harshest conditions. And the in-ear
housing itself is just as robust. Its three-layer metallising not only looks
stylish but also makes the surface insensitive to abrasion, solvents, and
perspiration. A watertight diaphragm over the bass reflex openings protects the
interior from getting wet.

High-end wearing comfort

beyerdynamic has expended more energy into
perfecting the fit of the headphones than ever before. Countless silicone casts
were made, heads measured and computer data evaluated so that the Xelento
remote nestles perfectly into the wearer’s ear. This has resulted in
anatomically shaped eartips in no less than seven sizes – from XS to 3XL. No
other manufacturer offers so much customising. Thanks to their oval cut, they
fit like a glove in the auditory canal – without the usual sensation of
pressure that comes from wearing in-ears. The popular Comply™ moulded foam
eartips are also available in three sizes for fans of classic attachments.

Passion “Made in Germany”

Everything is packaged in an exclusive
presentation case with magnetic fastener. The case also includes the
high-quality carry case for transport, reminding buyers with every opening that
they are holding a very special piece of headphones technology in their hands.
This is because the Xelento remote (SGD 1,599) is crafted by
hand at company headquarters in Heilbronn, Germany, just like all the Tesla
models. Skilled professionals wind the tiny voice coils, rotate drive parts and
assemble the components under a microscope with the precision of a watchmaker –
with a passion that is clearly palpable with the finished product.

The Tesla in-ear will retail locally at SGD
1,599 and  be available from end of March 2017 from qualified specialist
dealers or directly from the manufacturer at www.beyerdynamic.de.
