These headphones are designed for discerning music lovers. If you are someone who cares about audio quality deeply, you'll want a pair of headphones like these. You can expect these headphones to present you with a refined listening experience. The audio quality exhibited by these headphones is a beautiful mix of musicality, technical brilliance and high precision. These headphones deliver a spacious and open soundstage that compares listening to music on actual speakers.

The ability to carry your favourite headphone around is priceless for those who value them. These headphones and devices offer the ultimate portability experience without sacrificing sound quality. If you’re someone who appreciates cutting edge engineering, quality sound and portability, then look no further. Designed to be trusty companions, these headphones and devices are cleverly engineered with the latest technology to offer the ultimate combination of portability + hi-fidelity.

A good pair of headphones or Hi-Fi devices can make all the difference when it comes to listening to music, watching movies, or playing video games. They can also be a great way to enjoy Internet radio and podcasts, as well as phone calls. To do any of these tasks, they need to offer a good battery life, and these do just that. Packed with a high-performance and long-lasting battery so that nothing comes between you and your music. No interruptions, just pure joy!

If your headphones have volume controls, you will be able to adjust the volume level with a simple touch of a button without having to reach for your source device. Your music keeps playing without being interrupted or accidentally paused during playback. Having volume controls on headphones or at least in-line controls on the audio cable may seem unnecessary to some people, but they are, in fact, quite convenient.

Meet the world's very first multi-DAC audio player — the Astell&Kern A&futura SE200. It features the latest ESS ES9068AS Dual DAC as well as a single AKM AK4499EQ. Together, you get a vibrant sound that can even playback Master Quality Authenticated (MQA) files.
SR25

To further optimise the performance of the DAC Chips, the A&futura SE200 is designed with multiple AMP circuits. The signals for the balanced and unbalanced channels are separated to avoid any interference and deliver the best sound possible. This player allows you to further customise the sound profile using the variety of DAC filters that has been provided by the DAC manufacturer.

The A&futura SE200 has a similar design identity to the original SE100. This includes the trapezoidal shape and bold curves. The volume knob is divided into two to symbolize the different DACs used. The LED on the knob displays a different colour letting you know the volume range, bit-rate and DAC used.

Aluminium offers maximum sound quality with minimum noise. Astell&Kern has developed a special laser ground extension technology and metal processing to give you the best sound possible along with the precise curves on the player's body. A new high-gloss ceramic plate is added to the top and rear of the player. This plate allows the light to flow, creating a premium finish. It is developed via seven different processes to prevent cracking, add durability and gorgeousness.

A lot of time and hard work has gone into creating the A&futura SE200. It is made from the very same vibration-free processing machines that are used by expensive Swiss luxury watch manufacturers. This can be seen in the detailed design of the volume wheel that resembles the crown of a luxury watch. To ensure that the 3-DAC configuration works perfectly, twice the amount of time was spent in tuning and developing this player.

Expert Verdict	"The SE200 is a world first in that it features two audiophile-calibre Sabre ESS9068AS DACs (in a dual DAC configuration), alongside a single AKM4499EQ (last seen in the flagship SP2000)." Trusted Reviews	The newly introduced BT Sink function connects the SE180 to an external device, such as your smartphone, via BT, enabling you to take advantage of the A&K's DAC while playing from your phone's library." Steronet	"The SR25’s design blends aesthetics with user convenience and features an aluminium body that suppresses noise and improves sound quality." AVS FORUM	The battery will outlast a road-trip, the power handling is glorious, and the stylish, rock-solid build is (just about) small enough to take with you on your travels." WHAT HI FI

The word Astell means Stars in Latin while the word Kern means Centre and together Astell&Kern means the centre of music. Astell&Kern products are the perfect pick for Hi-Fi audio aficionados. Due to the advancement in recording technology, music can be recorded digitally while sounding as true as a live performance.

audio device, Audio quality without compromise, Design & Engineering Excellence, Craftsmanship & High Quality Materials, State of the art Technology and Innovation at every release.

"The SE200 is a world first in that it features two audiophile-calibre Sabre ESS9068AS DACs (in a dual DAC configuration), alongside a single AKM4499EQ (last seen in the flagship SP2000)."

"While the SE200 very much shares the design DNA of its siblings - what with its trapezoidal aluminium body - the trademark volume wheel is now divided In two to represent the two types of DAC on board."

"Naturally, there is built-in Wi-Fi and music streaming apps, as well as support for aptX HD Bluetooth. It will also play nice with files up to 32-bit/384kHz and DSD256 and with full MQA decoding."

"The SE200 is the world’s first digital audio player to be equipped with DACs from two different manufacturers, ESS and AKM, in one device."

"You can now further customize your sound by choosing from a variety of DAC filters provided by the DAC manufacturers allowing you to choose your own preferred sound profile."

"The A&futura SE200 also features an Octa-Core CPU, 5.0-inch HD 720 x 1,200 touchscreen, 256GB of internal memory with external storage support via microSD cards up to 1TB. "
