A Clearer View into Your Music
The STA-Hi End combines a substantial rhythmic foundation with a clear view into the arrangement. Part of EarAcoustic’s Silver Angel collection, these wired in-ear monitors use two dynamic drivers in each earpiece to balance low-frequency weight with the finer textures of voices and instruments. Their tuning is designed to make musical layers easy to follow while preserving the atmosphere of the performance. From the resonance of an acoustic guitar to the pulse of an electronic bass line, the emphasis is on an engaging, well-integrated presentation.
Beryllium-Coated Bass Driver and Dedicated Treble Unit
A 10mm dynamic driver with a beryllium-coated diaphragm reproduces the bass and lower midrange. The coating adds rigidity to the diaphragm, helping it resist deformation as it follows changes in the audio signal. Combined with a dual magnetic circuit, this construction supports controlled movement and a responsive low-frequency foundation, giving drums definition and lower-pitched instruments a convincing sense of body.
A separate 6mm driver uses a polymer composite diaphragm to handle the upper frequencies. Its smaller diaphragm complements the larger unit by focusing on vocal articulation, instrumental harmonics and treble detail. Both drivers use N50 neodymium magnetic technology, with their output tuned to work together across the frequency range. The pair contains four dynamic drivers in total.
Acoustic Design for Separation and Depth
EarAcoustic developed the internal cavity structure through repeated acoustic simulations and tuning refinements. The enclosure helps shape the interaction between the drivers, managing resonances and supporting a coherent transition from the lower frequencies to the treble. This physical tuning is intended to preserve the distinction between individual sounds without making the performance feel disconnected.
The STA-Hi End aims for a balance of warmth, clarity and spatial definition. Bass provides rhythmic support, the midrange keeps vocals intelligible, and the upper frequencies reveal the texture of strings and percussion. The result is a design suited to exploring layered recordings as well as enjoying simpler arrangements, where small changes in phrasing and instrumental tone carry much of the emotion.
Silver Finish with Sculpted Comfort
Its silver exterior gives the compact two-driver design a distinctive presence. The housings combine electroplated ABS resin with a zinc-alloy frame and a glossy resin finish. Decorative details associated with the Year of the Snake edition bring character to the faceplates, while the reflective surfaces complement the curved shape of each earpiece.
The inner contours are designed for a comfortable in-ear fit, with the cable routed over the ears. Supplied silicone tips provide several fitting options, including wide-bore and standard-bore styles. Choosing a suitable size helps establish the seal needed for consistent bass response and passive isolation, allowing you to settle into your music with fewer distractions.
Replaceable Cable for Everyday Listening
The supplied 1.2m cable combines oxygen-free copper and silver-plated conductors in a flexible mixed weave. Standard 0.78mm two-pin connectors allow it to be detached from the earpieces, making replacement straightforward if the cable becomes worn or your connection requirements change.
A 3.5mm stereo plug connects to compatible headphone outputs on portable players, laptops, DACs and headphone amplifiers. Phones and tablets without an analogue headphone socket require a suitable DAC adapter. With no internal battery to charge, the STA-Hi End offers a straightforward wired listening experience at home or on the move.
Technical Specifications
The STA-Hi End has a nominal impedance of 32Ω, a manufacturer-specified sensitivity of 110dB and a stated frequency response of 10Hz–30kHz. Each earpiece combines a 10mm beryllium-coated dynamic driver with a 6mm polymer composite dynamic driver. The detachable cable measures 1.2m, with 0.78mm two-pinconnectors at the earphones and a 3.5mm single-ended plug at the source.
