![]() ![]() ![]() If you're not sure what we mean by "better" sound all you have to do is listen to your current earbuds or headphones, then plug in a pair of Paradigm headphones. In-Ear Headphones Can Sound As Good as High-End SpeakersĮvery audio experience (music, movies, video gaming, etc.) is better with better sound. And listening to the E3? In portable audio, it doesn't get any better since the E3s are tuned to our ultimate high-end Signature series speakers. Listening to an E2 earbud presents the sound quality of our high-end Studio series speakers. Through Angie's ears we were able to so precisely tune the headphones to our speakers that listening to an E1 earbud is like listening to music through our audiophile Monitor series 7 speakers. And while everyone's ears are different, the one thing we knew with absolute surety from our extensive research with Canada's National Research Council is that all listeners clearly favor three things: a flat midrange, a smooth total energy response and low distortion. Then we took the results and began to design. We looked for any coloration or distortion at various power levels, all of it according to what Angie was actually hearing. We measured sound pressure levels, the speaker's frequency response, and total sound power (the actual summed output that is heard). We put her in the anechoic chamber with a microphone in each ear and a Paradigm speaker in the chamber. This allowed us to faithfully reproduce the performance of Paradigm's freestanding loudspeakers in an in-ear headphone.Īngie, our Head and Torso Simulator, was the middle man (okay, middle woman) in our quest to critically tune each earbud to sound like our loudspeaker lines. Unlike other brands, we used sophisticated measurement tools and proprietary algorithms while accounting for the psycho-acoustic effects of the ear structure in developing our design. Paradigm's unique understanding of what makes a speaker sound magical in a listening room is applied to the design of our in-ear headphones. But what about the quality of that audio? Despite what hundreds of earbud and headphone brands would have you believe, audio should sound every bit as good as it looks! The Design of Our In-Ear Headphones Today, most people listen to audio through portable devices. ![]() Paradigm SHIFT™ series is our newest venture, its focus is audio on the go. That should tell you something about the quality of our speakers. Our first speakers came out in 1982 and fans still scour the Web to buy used versions of those originals. ![]()
