Air conduction utilizes all 3 as sound is collected by the outer ear and directed along the ear canal into the ear drum, vibrating the bones of hearing (ossicles) in the middle ear to stimulate the hair cells inside of your cochlea in the inner ear. This stimulation creates electrical nerve impulses which are then carried to the brain by the auditory nerve to be converted into sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBone conduction completely bypasses the outer and middle ear components by sending vibrations directly through the skull to stimulate the hair cells inside of your cochlea. Through bone conduction we can perceive ultrasonic hearing (beyond 20kHz) Bone conduction is generally perceived to have a lower, deeper tone because the skull conducts lower frequencies more efficiently than air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDUAL CONDUCTION ARCHITECTURE\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Legend EVO fully exploits the best of both worlds with its pioneering Dual Conduction Architecture.

Every element of the W10 is hand selected, designed and vigorously tested for optimal bone conductivity performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStainless Steel Chassis\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe W10’s ultra robust nickel plated, SPCC chassis is designed to eliminate any coloration that may occur from internal resonance or flex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe X Factor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe crown jewel and driving force of the W10 is its obscenely potent N52 neodymium magnet. N52 is the highest grade of neodymium currently available and its DNA consists of neodymium, iron and boron.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe entirety of the W10’s design revolved around this very magnet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePure Copper Voice Coil\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe voice coil is one of the most important aspects of the W10. When the electrical current of audio signal passes through the coil it creates a varying magnetic field that pushes and pulls against the W10’s magnet. By altering the current back and forth we’re able to generate immense levels of sonic vibrations throughout the W10’s chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe W10 employs a Japanese made pure copper voice coil optimized for accuracy in frequency and transient response. The consistency of winding tension, density of enamel, adhesive application techniques, dimensions and copper compositions were all factors that were essential for linearity, ultra low distortion and efficient heat dissipation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eResonance \u0026amp; The Vibrational Membrane\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vibrational membrane is the exhaustively engineered interface between the magnetic properties and the acoustic capabilities of the W10. Constructed from steel and laser welded into place, each and every variable was critical during design. From the weight, stiffness and elasticity of the steel to the length and angle of the three cantilevered struts, breaking ground on the world’s most comprehensive and resolving bone conduction driver went beyond a labor of love and well into the realm of obsession.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Legend Evo pays homage to its predecessor, donning its minimalist appearance and classic color scheme but a closer look at the details reveals that all was honed around extraordinary, groundbreaking performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDual Tri-Port Exhausts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to the nature of the W10’s extreme output the enclosure’s air volume and vent design were especially crucial for proper tuning. Even the slightest change in diameter and positioning had a dramatic effect on sound quality and performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy mastering the W10’s volume requirements we’re able to harness its optimal output, capabilities and potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eARC Treated Chassis\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAny flex in the enclosure walls will have unequal resonant frequencies and by treating the internals in critical areas with ARC we gain control of the room, allowing what gets reflected and\/or absorbed. This eliminates any unwanted sound and allows the tone of the drivers to be as pure as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePrecision Mounted Weapons\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe W10 is strategically ceiling mounted in a specially designed cavity at the top of the shell. This cavity is engineered to keep all sonic vibrations internal, maximizing bone conductivity transfer through the solid-filled ear canal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSoundproofed Barrier\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLow frequency energy causes even some of the most stable materials to resonate which is why we’ve sealed the shell with a custom spec cast polymer to channel the internal sonic vibrations towards listener while reflecting any unwanted energy from the outside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Midas Touch\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Legend Evo dons two significant logos in gold: The timeless Empire Wing span to signify our never-ending pursuit of extraordinary and the EVO logo which marks the evolution of IEM technology from Empire Ears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGENESIS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEMPIRE X PW AUDIO\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24AWG Ultra-Pure OCC Copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuad Conductor, Polypropylene Reinforced Core\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsulated UV-Resistant Polyvinyl Chloride Sheath\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4.4 Balanced Pentaconn Termination\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Empire Ears","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43029309915369,"sku":"UIEM-LX EVO (OB)","price":2634.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0065\/4432\/6771\/products\/audiosanctuary_empireears_legendevo_1_1a50e064-c700-42fb-9cd0-8d7e6b3dcbef.png?v=1762461522","url":"https:\/\/audio46.mom\/products\/empire-ears-legend-evo-universal-fit-in-ear-monitors-open-box","provider":"Audio46 Headphone Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
