E5000 Sound quality design based on the latest acoustic
engineering and psychological research results. Delivers clear
sound quality across all bandwidths and immersive sound that
seems to envelop you. We have designed the sound quality of this
product based on the latest acoustic engineering and
psychological research results. Utilizing the typical method of
sound creation whereby certain high frequencies are emphasized,
you’re given to feel vivid sound when you first listen, but
because of this, other ranges are obscured and hard to hear. With
E5000, no particular sound ranges have been emphasized, and this,
together with our commitment to detailed sound expression,
achieves a vast sound stage that seems to envelop you, something
unthinkable in earphones up until now. In addition, the
silver-coated cable is standard equipment. With the employment of
an MMCX connector that can be re-cabled, it is possible to
replace the cable in the event of cable breakage. AWARD VGP 2019

Sound creation based on acoustic engineering and psychology We’ve
carried out the sound design of this product based on the latest
acoustic engineering and psychological research results. Using
the usual method of sound creation whereby high frequencies are
given a sharp peak and certain high frequencies are emphasized,
you’re given to feel vivid sound when you first listen, but
because of this peak, the anteroior ranges are ed and
hard to hear. With the E series, making the arc of the frequency
response smooth overall ensured that no bands were ed, and we
achieved high resolution. Compared to E3000/E2000, a purer,
subtler sound is achieved. *To heighten the resolution across all
ranges, acoustic pressure has been lowered. When you listen, the
sound appears laid-back; turning the volume up gradually while
assimilating this subtlety affords the user a comfortable
listening experience. This product is one whose merits become
more apparent the longer you use it. An acoustic chamber that is
the core of low-frequency tuning There is an acoustic resistor
inside the rear housing of the driver unit, and this controls the
low mid-range frequency characteristics that determine the
framework of the sound quality. At the end of this, there is a
pipe bent into an L-shape (acoustic chamber) which is necessary
for tuning; with this, we have achieved a balance between the
volume of low frequencies and clarity. MMCX Connector&Original
high purity OFC silver coated cable The MMCX connector was
developed in-company. We've used high-purity OFC silver coated
cables that provide a wide sound stage. These jointly-developed
cables were originally designed by and are currently manufactured
by the well-renowned Junkosha corporation for the purpose of
being used with the supercomputer "Kei" due to their fast signal
transmission speed. The insulator film is made from PFA which was
also developed by Junkosha who used their extensive know-how
through the JUNFLON brand to create the ultimate in
low-permittivity material. The outer tube is made from PVC for
maximum flexibility. The user will experience surprising
flexibility that both makes the cable extremely easy to use as
well as reducing the likelihood of microphonics. In addition, the
MMCX plug and the 3.5 mm mini-plug have a tendency to disconnect
so we've far exceeded the regular QA pass criteria of a
5,000-time bend test by changing the connection design to one
that can withstand more than 50,000 bends. * Junkosha: The
Japanese corporation Junkosha develops and manufactures products
such as high speed coaxial cables that boast the world's fastest
transmission speed at 95% the speed of light, as well as cables
for demanding fields such as marine and aerospace, care and
power generation facilities. These special cables require a high
level of technology and center around fluoropolymers. Junkosha's
cables are often called by the brand name JUNFLON and have earned
the tremendous trust of engineers requiring special-purpose
cables. Unique swing-fitting earpiece mechanism With their swing
fit mechanism, the earpieces can be swung left and right and
tilted towards the audio canal for a perfect fit. These prevent
changes in shape owing to the aperture of the earpiece coming
into contact with the audio canal. The sound is transmitted
directly to the eardrum, delivering clear sound. 6.4mmφ dynamic
driver unit The precision involved in assembling the parts for
the driver unit is of the utmost importance. The small-aperture
6.4mm diameter dynamic driver unit boasts an extraordinarily high
level of precision for this price range. Highly rigid machined
stainless steel housing Machined from stainless steel and with a
mirror finish, the housing firmly supports the driver unit and
suppresses unnecessary vibrations; it is an important element
with respect to sound quality. Fitting of a device for the mature
listener, this is a design that has a simple shape and a
high-quality texture matched with classic sound quality. Original
earpieces with a color difference between the left and right
bushes. Two types of silicon differing in rigidity are employed
for the sound conduit and for the earbud that comes into contact
with the user’s ear. The silicon used for the sound conduit is
more rigid than that used for the earbud, and by having groove
processing applied to it, combines both strength and flexibility.
Soft silicon has been employed for the earbud, making for a
comfortable fit and a high level of sound insulation. One of the
bushes is gray, while the other is red; by pulling the earpiece
back slightly to check the color of the bush, it is easy to
distinguish between left and right, even in places with subdued
lighting. Since the bush colors of neighboring sizes are
different (the gray bushes alternate between dark and light gray;
the red bushes alternate between red and pink), it is also easy
to distinguish between sizes. Comes in 5 sizes – SS/S/M/L/LL Ear
hooks that alleviate cable touch noise With similar existing
products, it was assumed that they would be fitted to ears of
differing sizes; not only were they large in size, their
appearance was rather too distinct, and it took a lot to get
accustomed to fitting them. Having considered what the key to
fitting the ear hooks was, we discovered a form that was smaller
than existing ear hooks, that didn’t utilize metal or resin wires
and fit the ears of more people. We’ve achieved something that is
slim and does not have a foreign feel to it, making for the kind
of comfort that has you forgetting you’re wearing them. There’s
also no problem with combining it with a figure 8 cable. Cable
noise – the unpleasant noise that occurs when the cable touches
the user’s body when they are walking – is dramatically reduced.
Silicon carry case With this silicon carry case, the cables can
be rolled up and stored easily. The earphones themselves are
gently secured using thin dome-shaped silicon covers. Aging Aging
refers to the phenomenon whereby sound changes with sustained use
over a set period of time. With the driver unit, the extremely
thin film that is heated and shaped vibrates to create sound. The
reason for this is not clear, but the stress from the adhesive
and the stress applied when shaping the film settles down as it
is used, and it is thought that perhaps micro-signals move more
freely. With this product, because of the small apertures, an
extended length of time is necessary for changes according to
aging become hard to identify. Generally, 150 ~ 200 hours of
regular use increases delicacy and sound quality follows the
intent of the original design. * Since the reason for sound
quality improving through aging has not been clearly established,
nothing could be clearly stated about aging until now. We have
been checking this phenomenon, and have decided to express our
opinions so as to collect as many questions regarding aging from
customers as possible. Specifications Product code FI-E5DSSD

swing fit mechanism while fitting the product; align the product
at an angle where it fits smoothly into the ear. Please check the
L (left) and R (right) indicators at the back of the left and
right housings. Holding the product, fit into the ears using a
slight twisting motion. Since sound quality differs greatly
according to the positioning of the ear piece, move each ear
phone around while playing music until you find the position with
the balance that suits you best. Once you have experienced this
position, it will be easier to find subsequently. * It is usual
that a person's ears differ in shape from left to right. As such,
the optimum positioning of the product differs from left to
right. Sound quality reviews With its clear, lengthy mid-to-high
frequencies and wide lower frequencies, listeners can enjoy the
atmosphere of musical arrangements. Compared to E3000, there is
more clarity and the sound stage is even wider. You can
experience the kind of immersive sound that seems to envelop you
in smooth music; it’s as though you can feel the harmony of the
orchestra tactilely.
