7th Acoustics

7th Acoustics is a small workshop in Indonesia, and almost nobody in Europe has heard their earphones. Stephen Syn's team builds them by hand, one pair at a time, and on the Supernova every abalone faceplate is cut individually, so no two pairs look the same.

The 7th Acoustics Supernova is the flagship, six balanced armatures that sound more like a real room than a pair of earphones, smooth on top with a huge stage. The 7th Acoustics Ryusei is a different kind of set, a single dynamic driver that puts the voice ahead of everything else, with treble that runs bright and lively.

Because they're handmade, stock is small and some pairs are built to order. If one catches your eye, book a session in Utrecht and hear it first.
