Moshi Audio Clarus Earhook In-Ear Earphone with Mic
product details
Absolute Clarity Designed for aural connoisseurs who demand absolute clarity in music reproduction, Clarus by Moshi Audio revives music that otherwise sounds dull when played through ordinary earphones. Clarus is able to deliver this exquisite acoustic experience through its proprietary DynaDuo™ drivers with a precision-tuned passive crossover network. Listen to your favorite music, whether it's jazz, rock, classical, or acoustic music, your discerning ears will be able to discover every nuance that has eluded them throughout the years.
Total Immersion Clarus is equipped with DynaDuo™, which consists of two dynamic drivers that enable a wide frequency response with pristine sound reproduction. Typical IEMs require complete seal-off of ear canals to achieve meaningful bass response. Clarus manages to circumvent this problem by utilizing a dedicated woofer with sound guide to deliver robust low frequency sound into your ears. What really sets Clarus apart however, is its dedicated high frequency driver, which has been acoustically engineered to render airy transparency. The passive crossover has also been optimized for exceptional uniformity. The end result is an immersive listening experience with enhanced transparency and accurate sound imaging.
Designed Ergonomics The earpieces are designed to rest on the cusp of the ear canals, not inside of them, thereby eliminating ear fatigue. The soft ear loops comfortably hook over the ears so that Clarus stay securely in place even when you're on the move. Clarus also comes with various sizes of earpieces for both comfort and optimized bass response.

Reviews
"Honestly, the construction is more akin to a pair of high-end headphones than a set of earphones. It's very different, but very effective. I can say that because these sound pretty good. And by "good" we mean that the sound is overall very pleasing, with lots of bass - which is unusual for phones that don't have to be shoved way into your ears. If there are any complaints, we'd have to say that they have some mid-bass emphasis and lack the pristine highs of our reference earphones - but those also cost two times as much as these.
We listened to a lot of music on these earphones, including some tracks that were mixed by a close friend of mine in the studio and which I am intimately familiar with. We also played lots of classic rock, R&B and even streamed some movies from Netflix. Our overall takeaway was that the Clarus earphones produced a full sound that was energetic and fun, with plenty of bass and lots of upper-midrange. At times, female vocals lacked some of the airy finesse we like to hear, but we queued up some Dave Matthews or Sting and things really took off. I'd have to say, our takeaway was that the Clarus provided a really intense and live sound that we enjoyed and you can really listen to these for hours without getting tired."
"Cutting the edge of design, in the most literal aspects, Moshi creates a clip-on that is not only flashy and fun, but also lustrous and elegant. The metallic finish on the exterior glitters in its silvery goodness and doesn’t attract fingerprints. The steel exoskeleton, as a whole gives the entire body a beautiful, yet solid, feeling to it. The black coloring on the interior steel plate and cable gives a great contrast to the metallic, silver steel that Moshi chose to use. The Clarus is aesthetically pleasing in just about every single way. ... The midrange on these is on par with etymotic mids. The energy and power that are portrayed in the midrange is just magical. The clarity, like the name suggests, is top notch while the detailing is like no other. Although bright and mid-centric, the midrange on the Clarus still has a great balance to it. Separation and timbre are there as well, nothing over the top, but presented well nonetheless. The quality of the midrange is absolutely stunning and musical nonetheless. It is the life-force behind the headphones."
