Nio is our first high driver-count hybrid UIEM featuring a 9mm dynamic driver and 8 balanced armature drivers. The drivers and other patented components are housed in an ergonomic shell machined out of solid aluminum. Similar to some of our other unique faceplates, Nio is finished with a naturally sourced striking blue abalone faceplate making each pair truly unique.
Sound
"A decently clean bass boost, well-balanced tonality with the added benefit of being able to mould it into a neutral reference signature." - Crinacle (In-Ear Fidelity)
"My guess is that most audiophiles will enjoy the detail and general neutrality of the mids and the highs—and I bet audiophiles who don’t buy into the concept that high-end headphones shouldn’t have plenty of bass will love them." - Brent Butterworth (SoundStage Solo)
"With the mX module inserted, it is an entirely different monitor with a more balanced or neutral bass tuning that shifts the listening experience to the mids and lower-treble but still retains a very natural sound." - Marcus (Headfonics)
With a sound signature characterized by extended lows and a rich 3-dimensional soundstage, Nio’s smooth treble and natural warmth will provide hours of enjoyable listening for all genres of music. With the included variety of tips and apex modules you can take Nio from a saturated tube-like warmth all the way to a neutral reference monitor tonality.
Featured Technology
Tubeless In-Ear Audio (tia) is a patented IEM design methodology that aims to reduce unwanted resonance and distortion for a transparent and lifelike sound signature. The tia system is comprised of three major elements: open balanced armature tia drivers, the tia single-bore design, and tia acoustic chambers. Nio features two major elements of the tia system: the tia driver and the tia single-bore design.
