Warm Sound with a Refined Sense of Detail
Golden Snake II pairs a warm, flowing sound signature with sculpted silver housings and a distinctive golden snake motif. Developed as the successor to the original Golden Snake, these wired in-ear monitors combine an immersive presentation with carefully balanced bass, expressive vocals and smooth treble.
Revisions to the driver materials and acoustic damping are intended to bring greater clarity to the midrange and upper frequencies while preserving the rich atmosphere of the earlier model. The result is a tuning approach that keeps fine details connected to the performance, encouraging relaxed, attentive listening.
An 11.4 mm Dynamic Driver
Each earpiece features an 11.4 mm dynamic driver with dual magnetic circuits and a dual-cavity acoustic structure. The magnetic assembly supports controlled diaphragm movement, while the chambers help manage internal resonance and shape the overall response.
A single driver reproduces the full frequency range, supporting continuity between low notes, voices and upper harmonics. With a specified frequency response of 5 Hz–40 kHz, an impedance of 25 Ω and a sensitivity of 111 dB, Golden Snake II is designed for use with suitable portable and desktop audio equipment.
Titanium Dome and Silicon-Crystal Surround
The composite diaphragm combines a titanium-based dome with a surround featuring silicon-crystal deposition on both sides. The dome’s balance of rigidity and low mass supports rapid movement, helping reproduce vocal inflections, string textures and delicate percussion.
The outer suspension provides damping to control unwanted vibration. Together, these elements are engineered to maintain definition while giving bass and lower-midrange notes a substantial, rounded character.
Full Bass, Expressive Voices and Gentle Treble
Golden Snake II’s tuning places equal emphasis on musical weight and listening ease. The bass provides a deep foundation for drums and low strings, while the midrange brings warmth and presence to voices without relying on excessive sharpness.
The upper frequencies are shaped to preserve instrumental overtones and ambience with a smooth tonal balance. This approach suits listeners who enjoy the body and continuity associated with analogue playback, alongside the detail of a modern in-ear design.
A spacious presentation completes the intended character, giving instruments room within the arrangement and allowing the atmosphere of the recording to remain audible.
Silver Finish with Sculptural Gold Accents
The housings are precision-machined from aluminium-magnesium alloy using a five-axis CNC process. Engraved surface details and polished chrome-silver plating create a textured, reflective finish.
The silver-white faceplates combine a transparent outer layer with gold accents and a raised snake emblem. These contrasting materials give Golden Snake II Silver a recognisable appearance, bringing decorative craftsmanship into a compact audio design.
Detachable Balanced Cable
The supplied 1.2 m cable uses silver-plated oxygen-free copper conductors in a coaxial Litz construction. Gold-plated connectors complement the metal housings, while standard 0.78 mm 2-pin connections make the cable replaceable.
A 4.4 mm balanced plug connects to a compatible player, DAC or headphone amplifier. Smartphone and laptop use requires suitable audio equipment with a matching balanced output.
