Product Description
The flagship model of Intime, featuring a replaceable cable version, crafted with a titanium alloy shell and equipped with a 10mm titanium-coated dynamic driver and Intime's proprietary VST ceramic technology. This configuration delivers rich, elastic bass and highly detailed sound positioning with exceptional clarity. In addition to its proprietary technology, the Sho also incorporates HDSS tuning technology, allowing users to easily perceive every detail in their music with balanced and natural sound across all frequencies, suitable for any music style.
The Sho uses an 8-core OFC oxygen-free copper and silver-plated copper mixed cable, further enhancing the overall sound density and reproducing the most natural sound extension and details in the music.
Proprietary VST Ceramic Driver Technology
Due to the inherent hardness and material properties of ceramics, ceramic drivers typically affect the sensitivity of earphones, requiring higher output power to fully drive the units. However, improper handling can lead to harshness at high frequencies, negatively impacting listening comfort. Intime's proprietary VST technology employs multi-layer ceramic elements, increasing sensitivity by over 20dB compared to traditional single-layer ceramic tweeters, making the drivers easier to drive and reducing the output requirements of the user's audio source. Additionally, the VST tuning technology improves sound sharpness, with vertical support components around the diaphragm enhancing operational stability, ensuring smooth and comfortable listening even at the highest frequency ranges without harshness.
HDSS Patented Technology for High-Definition Sound
HDSS (High Definition Sound Standard) is a new patent technology developed by TBI Audio Systems LLC in the USA. Using HDSS technology, Intime can deliver clear and distortion-free sound, accurately reproducing the original audio and providing a natural sense of presence, allowing users to feel relaxed while using the earphones. The core of HDSS technology is an acoustic module called "ETL (Embedded Transmission Line)." By installing the ETL module behind the sound driver, the air pressure within the earphone housing remains stable, allowing the earphones to faithfully reproduce the original sound unaffected by external factors such as temperature and air pressure. When the earphone drivers emit various frequency sounds, there is a chance of vibration overlap, causing specific frequencies to cancel out or interfere, leading to distortion or blurriness. HDSS minimizes interference between sounds, effectively adjusting sound phase, suppressing internal distortion and deformation, bringing it closer to the true original studio sound.
Hi-Res High-Resolution Audio Standard Certification
Although priced entry-level, all Intime models have obtained Japan's "Hi-Res Audio High-Resolution Audio Standard Certification," allowing users to enjoy high-quality music at an affordable price.
