Wondering about Dual / Hybrid Drivers in TWS?

Multi driver earphones refer to a earbud with more than 1 speaker. Dual drivers refer to a earbud which contains 2 drivers of any type. Hybrid drivers refer usually to 1 dynamic and 1 balanced armature. The dynamic driver usually has a larger membrane size ranging from 5mm to 14mm. As such, dynamic drivers produce more bassy sounds. A balanced armature usually has a very small membrane size making it good at producing high frequencies like vocals.

We are familiar with in-ear monitors or wired cables having multiple drivers. In fact it is not uncommon to hear of an IEM having 3, 4 or even 8 drivers.

But when it comes to TWS, you’ll be hard-pressed to find any with 3 drivers and above.

For dual drivers, they are present in the community, but are the rare exception and come with a hefty price tag. Take a look at the Sony WF-1000XM4, priced at $383

Other alternatives are like the Master & Dynamic MW07 Plus priced at $230master and dynamic

Earbuds with dual drivers tend to sound better which is often why it’s pricier as well.

One thing of concern is that TWS earbuds often have limited space. Within 1 earbud it should contain a battery, a Bluetooth circuit board and the drivers. The lack of space often restrict companies from being able to squeeze in a dual driver. Hence, earbuds like Apple’s airpods or Jabra’s Elite 3 just to name a few are all single drivers.

Our Kagami Wireless earbuds come with a hybrid dual drivers. So you can be assured of the sound! All this while priced at $149. They are a pair of affordable earbuds with good bass.

Which should you get? Bluetooth earphones vs traditional wired earphones

Bluetooth earphones vs wired earphones

Bluetooth earphones have several advantages over wired ones. Firstly, they are much more portable and convenient to use, as you don’t have to deal with tangled cords. With wireless earbuds, you can simply pop them into your ears and start listening to music without any hassle. Additionally, Bluetooth headphones offer noise cancellation technology, which helps in blocking out outside noise for a better listening experience. One disadvantage of wireless earphones is that there is a down time to it and you cannot listen to them while they are charging

Bluetooth headphones use a compression algorithm for wireless audio transmission. This compression can result in a loss of audio quality. While wireless headphones offer the convenience of being portable and free from wired restrictions, the sound quality may not always be as good as wired headphones. Some noise canceling headphones can help reduce outside noise interference, but the frequency response and audio quality could still be affected. 

Exercise Friendly

Bluetooth earbuds offer a liberating experience during exercise sessions, granting users unparalleled freedom of movement compared to their wired counterparts. With no tangled cords to contend with, individuals can move freely and vigorously without any hindrance, whether they’re running, cycling, or engaging in various workout routines. This freedom not only enhances comfort but also minimizes distractions, allowing exercisers to focus solely on their performance. Bluetooth technology eliminates the risk of accidentally tugging on wires, which can disrupt the flow of exercise and potentially damage the earphones. Additionally, the absence of wires eliminates the need for constant adjustment, providing a seamless and uninterrupted listening experience throughout the workout session. Overall, Bluetooth earbuds redefine convenience and functionality, making them an essential accessory for anyone seeking a hassle-free and immersive exercise experience.

How Zerest Audio Began

Zerest Audio started when I handed a pair of handmade earphones to a friend. She loved it so much, she said “Why don’t you sell earphones?”

As a hobbyist, I spent many years building earphones by hand. A particularly niche hobby I’ll admit. I also loved the idea of detachable cables – a concept mostly available for high end brands then.

I would buy numerous kinds of speakers online. Neodymium drivers, balanced armature drivers, high pass filters and so on. I would solder everything up to an MMCX connector then I would assemble the parts into an IEM shell. Plug in a pair of wires, and listen to the sound.

My venture into the earphone field carried on into designing a 3D shell. I taught myself google Sketchup and then Autocad. I thought I was doing great until I brought my design to a 3D printing shop, the person manning the counter looked at my drawing and went “The earphone walls have no thickness. I can’t print this.” I guess I should’ve consulted Youtube more? Lol

One thing led to the next, I finally found a supplier willing to produce the parts I wanted. From there, Zerest Audio as a local brand was born. The sound profile is spectacular, the clarity and warmth is perfectly paired with sound separation. Each earphone you receive is hand assembled and sound balanced. If you see small little imperfections on the shell, I hope you’ll treat them as the uniqueness of a hand assembled earphone. I can assure you, that in one pair of earphones you will hear the years of my experience.

I hope you’ll enjoy the superb quality that I’ve prepared for you! Because, I can’t wait for you to hear it.

I’ll end off, with a line from my favorite artist. “Can I touch your eardrums?”
