From PSB:
The M4U TWM earbuds leverage powerful Magneto-Static technology in a Hybrid Planar dual driver design, utilizing the same technology found in high-end magneto loudspeakers and fitting them into remarkably compact earbuds. Dedicated transducers, one for high frequencies and one for low frequencies work together to make the in-ear listening experience truly pristine, reproducing sound with crisp highs, natural midrange and deep lush bass. Enhanced aptX™ Adaptive Bluetooth technology keeps everything in sync from movies to games with dynamic low latency and an adaptive bit rate supporting up to 24-bit high- definition audio quality.
With an IP65 rating the M4U TWM are sweatproof, water resistant and dustproof making them well-suited for active audiophiles to use in the gym, during cycling or running and even on a long commute. Convenient features like hard click buttons on both earphones make music control and voice calls hands-free and intuitive, while a smart USB-C charging case delivers a maximum of 32 hours of extended play time (8 hours out of the case and 3 additional charge cycles in the case).
Sound Optimization with Audiodo Personal Sound™
An integration with Audiodo Personal Sound™ technology is one of the most unique features offered in both wireless headphones. The breakthrough technology uses a non-replicable set of algorithms which allows listeners to calibrate their headphones in a way that accommodates for the listening qualities of their left and right ears independently. After completing a quick and easy hearing assessment accessed through the PSB Headphones app, Audiodo Personal Sound™ maps out a precise and thorough understanding of the listener’s hearing, calculates what changes need to be made based on personal sound perception, and formulates a compensation curve for the listener that can be applied to the overall headphone sound.
Natural RoomFeel™ Tuning
Created to deliver rich and natural sound through headphones, the next generation of PSB’s proprietary RoomFeel technology mimics the experience of listening to a pair of high-quality, full-range speakers properly set up in a good room. Carefully developed using research and expertise around ‘Room Gain’ – the energy and warmth that room boundaries add to the response curve of a flat-measuring loudspeaker, RoomFeel makes the music feel less ‘in the head’ by recreating an open and natural in-room listening experience through the M4U headphones.
PSB Headphones App
All headphone settings, including Audiodo Personal Sound™ tests and Transparency modes are accessed centrally through the PSB Headphones app, a full-featured app that allows users to adjust settings, check battery levels and regularly keep the headphones up-to-date with the latest firmware updates and codes.
