Soranik MEMS-3 Open-type earphones equipped with hybrid MEMS

Product concept

《MEMS-3》 is the only earphone in the world that can produce full-range sound from MEMS (semiconductor) speakers. The "silicon speaker", which is made using the same semiconductor microfabrication technology used in smartphone chips, moves at a speed that far exceeds that of conventional coil-type drivers.holographic soundstageIt realistically depicts everything. Furthermore, the fully open back structure means that even though they are earphones, the sound does not get stuck in your head, creating an open sound field similar to listening with headphones or speakers. Enjoy unprecedented resolution and openness created by Soranik's proprietary hybrid MEMS technology.

Soranik is a premium earphone brand founded in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam in 2012. Under the leadership of founder Hieu Tran, the company has continued to challenge new technologies that go beyond existing frameworks, such as the ION, which uses titanium tubes, and the DES, which is equipped with an electrostatic driver. In recent years, we have focused on MEMS technology, and in 2023 we announced the industry's first dual MEMS earphone "MEMS-2". Based on the philosophy of "fusion of technology and musicality," we continue to create products that balance innovation with the essence of music.

• Speakers have become semiconductors:The MEMS speaker at the heart is a "true monolithic MEMS" made on a silicon substrate using the same semiconductor microfabrication as smartphone chips. By moving at an ultra-high speed that is incomparable to a coil driver, you can enjoy detailed depiction, lingering sound,holographic soundstageIt realistically depicts everything.

• Hybrid of MEMS x 2 dynamic units:A single full-range MEMS unit combines a 6mm full-range dynamic and a 10mm subwoofer dynamic. The delicacy and speed of MEMS are combined with the thickness and weight unique to dynamic drivers.full-bodied bass presenceThis combines high realism and impact across all bands.

• Even though it's an earphone, it's an open type:The fully open back structure allows sound to escape naturally and suppresses reflections and resonance within the ear canal. It creates a sense of openness and three-dimensionality that is difficult to obtain with a closed type, and the sound spreads in front of your eyes instead of inside your head. It has excellent breathability and is comfortable even for long periods of time without getting stuffy.

• Dedicated energizer “MEMS-AP1” included:MEMS speakers use a different drive method than regular earphones, so a dedicated drive mechanism is required. The included "MEMS-AP1" is specially designed and optimized for this purpose. Although it is pocket-sized, it brings out the full performance of MEMS.

• You can re-cable with regular cables:Typical MEMS machines require special multi-core connectors, but MEMS-3 is fully compatible with 2-pin (0.78mm) & 4.4mm balance using Soranik's proprietary technology. It is exceptionally easy to use for a MEMS device, as it can be re-cabled freely without the need for a dedicated cable.
• Beautiful 3D printed shell:An organic form that follows the ear using the latest 3D printing technology. It is lightweight and comfortable to wear, and the flowing curved surface makes it look beautiful.

In-ear Gems (Head-Fi publication/overseas review)
A review of these earphones, which are one of the few full-range xMEMS-equipped earphones on the market, stated that they were overwhelmed by their technical prowess upon first listening, and praised the outstanding resolution, detail, and localization accuracy, the volume and texture of the sub-bass, and the excellent dynamics when selecting a track. Points to note are that there is room for improvement in tone enhancement and that a dedicated energizer is required for driving.
