The Flat-Head Plug "Resurrected" By Titanium Alloy: This Retro Trend Is Simply Amazing!
The Flat-Head Plug "Resurrected" By Titanium Alloy: This Retro Trend Is Simply Amazing!
Once
upon a time, it was the "standard equipment" for everyone in the
headphone industry. However, with the rise of in-ear and noise-cancelling
headphones, problems such as leakage, weak bass, and cavity resonance made the
flat-head earphones gradually fade out of the public's view and become a
nostalgic choice for niche players.
But who
could have imagined that with the assistance of materials science, a
"titanium alloy flat-head plug" emerged unexpectedly. Not only did it
solve many problems of the traditional design, but it also triggered a
"retro sound quality revival" in the wave of consumption upgrade!
Titanium Alloy: Unlocking the "Golden Finger" for Flat Head Speakers
The core
problems of flat head speakers actually lie within the "cavity" - the
open structure leads to the loss of low-frequency, the lack of rigidity of
traditional materials causes resonance, ultimately making the sound muddy and
loose. However, the addition of aerospace-grade Gr5 titanium alloy directly
addresses these issues head-on.

As a
commonly used material in the aerospace field, Gr5 titanium alloy has inherent
acoustic advantages:
1) High
hardness and low resonance can effectively suppress excessive vibrations in the
cavity, making the sound base clear and transparent. The smooth texture of
violin bowing and the delicate details of human breathing can all be accurately
captured;
2) The
structural stability is at its peak, and the sound propagation path remains
consistent. The horizontal sound field is directly "superior" - it
feels as if the band is extending half a meter on both sides of your ears, with
an immersive experience that is fully achieved;
3) The
weight is also extremely friendly! Its density is only 60% of that of steel.
Wearing it on the ears is almost "unnoticeable", and there will be no
pressure during long commutes or binge-watching.
From Materials to Craftsmanship: Embedding "Precision" Deep Within
A good
material requires a good craftsmanship; otherwise, even the highest-quality
titanium alloy will struggle to showcase its full potential. The manufacturing
process of this flat-head plug can be described as a "fanatic's
delight":
1)
Five-axis CNC Precision Machining: Using a Japanese STAR five-axis machine, the
titanium block is meticulously cut layer by layer, with the error controlled at
the micrometer level to avoid any impact on sound quality due to tolerances;
2)
Mirror-Glass Surface Treatment: The 316 stainless steel hardware components are
hand-polished, not only maintaining an excellent appearance but also reducing
the interference caused by microscopic bumps in sound wave reflection;
3)
Modular Wire Design: Without the need for specialized tools, one can freely
switch between 3.5 single-ended/4.4 balanced interfaces, and choose between
over-ear and direct-insertion wearing methods, adapting to different scenarios
as needed.
Tuning Philosophy: Nature Is The Best Sound Experience
Compared to overloading parameters, this titanium alloy flat-head speaker truly understands that "sound quality is king".
32Ω impedance + 115dB sensitivity. It can be easily driven by the
phone's direct power supply without the need for an additional player; the
total harmonic distortion (THD) is controlled below 0.1%. Even when the sound
pressure is as high as 100dB, the sound remains stable and pure.

Its
tonal tuning does not follow an "extreme" approach but focuses on
"natural balance":
1) The
low frequencies do not strive for a powerful impact. Instead, they gently
descend with elasticity, stopping precisely at the right point, avoiding the
suppression of mid-high frequency details. This allows for long listening
without fatigue.
2) The
mid-high frequencies have a slightly sweet tone. Whether it's the tender
interpretation of human voices or the bright texture of instruments, they are
extremely compelling.
3) The
sound field is clearly layered, and the positioning of the instruments is
precise. It feels as if the recording studio has been directly brought to one's
ears, restoring the music to its most authentic form.
Not just
one hit product: Innovative material design sets new trends in the industry
The
success of this titanium alloy flat-head plug was not accidental.
Under
the same brand, there is also a titanium alloy earplug known for its
"microscope-level resolution". By optimizing the purity of titanium
alloy and the cavity structure, it suppresses background noise to the extreme.
Even the entry-level model retains the core titanium alloy framework design,
allowing ordinary consumers to experience the material advantages at an
affordable price.
Market data never lies: Within just three months of its launch, this series of earphones achieved a sales volume of over 1,500 units. "Comfortable to wear" and "Natural sound quality" have become the most frequently mentioned words in user reviews. Behind this is everyone's pursuit of “true sound quality” under the upgrading of consumption-high-end materials are no longer gimmicks, but the core of truly enhancing product competitiveness.
