The Xelento wireless (2nd generation) in-ear headphones are a unique audible piece of jewellery, which make audiophiles‘ hearts beat faster. It is the result of acoustic expertise, engineering precision and a passion for outstanding quality – Made in Germany.

The TESLA.11 driver used does not only feature an incomparably high-resolution sound, but also an enormous high efficiency, which is achieved by a powerful neodymium ring magnet. As Hi-Res Audio certified in-ear headphones, the Xelento wireless (2nd generation) reproduces the full sound of music tracks with unparalleled resolution and depth. When using the selectable Enhancement Mode, the sound is optimised by an additional DAC/amp.

Due to the latest codecs, wireless hi-fi sound via Bluetooth® 5.2 can be enjoyed: Qualcomm® aptX™ HD, Qualcomm® aptX™ Adaptive and LHDC as well as the integrated digital and analogue converter with amplifier from the AKM specialist ensure that wireless sound enjoyment is possible on all devices – whether Android, iOS, Windows or Mac. The 3-button remote control of the mini jack (3.5 mm) cable with high-quality microphone opens up all possibilities: Calls, video conferences and use with voice assistants which can be flexibly accessed on the smartphone or laptop.

Due to the MMCX plug-in system, the Xelento wireless (2nd generation) can be flexibly adapted to your own needs. With the supplied mini jack (3.5 mmm) cable with remote control, the Xelento wireless (2nd generation) can also be used for wired applications if required. With the optional 4.4 mm Pentaconn cable, the Xelelento wireless (2nd generation) can also be expanded. This makes the Xelento wireless (2nd generation) ideal for music enjoyment with digital audio players or balanced hi-fi systems.

With the innovative MIY app, the Xelento wireless (2nd generation) can be personalised even further. Within the app, the sound can be individually adjusted to the hearing ability: with MOSAYC - Attention to Detail with Mimi Sound Personalization. In the MIY app, the settings of the in-ear headphones can also be further customised and functionalities can always be kept up to date with the latest technology through over-the-air updates (OTA).

The extremely slim and lightweight design with ergo- nomically shaped housings and perfectly adapted eartips is designed to fit the anatomy of the human ear ensuring outstanding comfort when wearing and a maximum external noise attenuation. In order to maximise the comfort and prevent annoying cable noise, the cable is worn behind the ear.

As a special eye-catcher, the shining housing is decorated with real gold. The Xelento logos are handmade of 24 carat gold and applied in a high-precision technical process.

Due to the IPX4 certification, the Xelento wireless (2nd generation) is also well protected from moisture when being on the move.

When not in use, the Xelento wireless (2nd generation) can be stored in the high-quality case supplied.

*Not all smartphones and tablets support all the functions of the remote control.
