DESCRIPTION

Experience JH Audio's iconic Rock ‘n Roll sound with the Astell&Kern Billie Jean. It uses two customised balanced armature drivers. These drivers are similar to the ones designed for the famed Siren Series that are known for their reference-quality IEMs that offer a frequency range of 10Hz and 5kHz. The high-range driver delivers the treble with minimum distortion while the full-range driver offers an absolutely flat mid-range and really deep, distortion-free bass.
Billie

Multiple-driver IEMs can cause timing issues as each driver has a different response time. The patented Freqphase® Time and Phase Waveguide technology use precisely cut tube lengths for both the Billie Jean’s drivers. This aligns them to 1/100ms and minimises the phase shift of each frequency resulting in an extremely accurate reproduction of sound.

The acoustic chamber has been crafted with a special sound bore design. This not only reduces interference but also gives you a wide soundstage and unparalleled dynamic range.

Unlike a good number of JH Audio IEMs that are too bulky to fit most people’s ears, the Billie Jean’s housings have been designed after numerous studies of the ear canal. They are 30% smaller and lighter than the popular Michelle Limited and fit seamlessly in your ears giving you ample noise isolation and comfort.

The Billie Jean has a silver-plated copper cable that is wrapped in Kevlar (the material used in body armour). This gives it high tensile strength while giving you an entire dynamic range of music. The intertwined design, reduces the stress on the cable, making it easily adjustable around the outer ears giving you a more secure and comfortable fit. It terminates with a 2-pin connector on one end & a 3.5mm jack on the other.
PS: You also get a 2-Pin 2.5mm Balanced Cable that's made from a combination of Zxoin and Technora fibre for free with every Billie Jean purchase.

Stand-out sound at a super price!

This 2 BA earphone can challenge some of the top-end hybrids and dynamic drivers when it comes to bass punch. Add this to the phenomenal sound stage and clarity, this one is a real deal at this price point. Bass is dry, punchy, fast with short decay, treble doesn’t disappoint too. In fact there is amazing sweetness on the high end freq and that helps giving the sound an airy feel.

Paired this with Penon CS819 balanced cable to complete the music listening experience.

Keep up the great work team Headphonezone. Kudos for bringing products like Billie Jean to us !

Makes me wonder why these are not prominently displayed and kept hidden in the HPZ site :-)
