Tried-and-true for over two decades, the ED 29689 is one of the most reliable balanced armature drivers available on the market, excelling in midrange texture and precise pinna compensation. The mids are slightly boosted in the Arete II for a more lush texture to vocals and instruments, and the mid-treble transition is clarified by a more precise 3kHz peak. The treble is powered by Knowles SWFK 31736 dual tweeters, which have also been well-established over the past decade. With a wider tube and enhanced driver placement, the Arete II has greater ultra-treble extension and an airier atmosphere in the sound.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Arete II earphones feature a small switch on the earcup.
