Soranik MEMS-3S 2025 4-Driver Hybrid Open-Back Earphones

Product Concept

The "MEMS-3S 2025" is Soranik's flagship earphone. It features two types of MEMS speakers made from silicon (semiconductors) instead of coils—the ultra-fast xMEMS excelling in high-frequency extension and USound drawing an ultra-wide range up to 80kHz—layered together in the world’s first "isobaric configuration." Additionally, with the inclusion of two dynamic drivers of 6mm and 10mm, this 4-driver configuration achieves the overwhelming resolution unique to MEMS while providing the deep low frequencies of dynamic drivers. The fully open-back design creates an expansive soundstage, paired with a handcrafted exterior inspired by white marble, representing the pinnacle of technology and craftsmanship.

Soranik is a premium earphone brand founded in 2012 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Under the leadership of founder Hieu Tran, the brand has pursued technologies that break conventional boundaries, such as the "ION" with titanium tubes and the "DES" equipped with electrostatic drivers. In recent years, Soranik has focused on MEMS technology, releasing the industry-first dual MEMS earphones "MEMS-2" in 2023. Adhering to the philosophy of "fusion of technical prowess and musicality," the brand continues to create products that balance innovation with the essence of music.

• Equipped with two types of semiconductor (MEMS) speakers:Adopts two types of MEMS speakers constructed on silicon substrates. The "xMEMS" provides ultra-fast response and high-frequency extension, while the "USound" covers ultra-wideband up to 80kHz, excels in mid-low range depiction, and delivers three-dimensional, tactile expression. The speed, on a different level from coil-based systems, captures minute sounds and reverberations.

• World's first isobaric MEMS configuration:Integrates two MEMS speakers in a coaxial and isobaric (stacked) configuration. The outputs of the two are accurately merged in a specially designed acoustic chamber, bringing out the advantages of both without sacrificing bandwidth. This is the world's first configuration for MEMS speakers (according to the manufacturer).

• Complementing the low range with two dynamic drivers:The sense of the low range, which MEMS typically struggles with, is reinforced with a 6mm full-range dynamic and a 10mm subwoofer dynamic. The speed and detail of MEMS are combined with the thickness and elasticity unique to dynamic drivers, delivering immersive sound.

• Open-back design despite being earphones:The fully open-back structure allows sound to escape naturally and suppresses reflections and resonances inside the ear canal. It creates a sense of openness and spatial depth that is difficult to achieve with closed-back designs, providing a wide soundstage similar to headphones.

• Handcrafted exterior inspired by white marble:The exterior, inspired by white marble, is polished manually by artisans to achieve a smooth, ceramic-like texture. The 3D-printed ergonomic body ensures comfort even during long periods of wear.

• Includes dedicated energizer "AP1" + supports re-cabling with standard cables:Comes with the "AP1" energizer optimized for MEMS driving. While typical MEMS devices require special multi-core connectors, this device supports 2-pin (0.78mm) & 4.4mm balanced connections thanks to Soranik's proprietary technology, allowing free re-cabling without needing a dedicated cable.
