What do you mean by balanced armature earphones? Perhaps many of your friends have not heard of the term "balance armature headset" before, and perhaps, they have tried them without knowing that the balanced armature driver was in the headset. This is of course very common that people do not know about the technology that is placed within their headphone. However, the technology of a balanced armature driver is very powerful in its sound quality and music experience. Therefore, we believe people should know more details about why the balanced armature headset is a great choice when choosing a headset in the future.

In brief, the balanced armature headset can easily be placed in the ear canal because the unit is much smaller than other drivers. The in-ear fitting effectively reduces the sound leakage and it is possible to place it into the deeper part of the ear canal, that is resulting in the remarkable effect to ensure better sound quality that only a balanced armature headset can provide.

What are the advantages of balanced armature headsets?

The sensitivity of the balance armature headset is high compared to traditional drivers. The main reason for this is that the structure of balanced armature unit is almost a closed container in the structure and a very little current can drive it, which gives a better relationship between the sensitivity and resistance. Because of the high sensitivity, the balanced armature headset has better transient performance and dynamic performance of the music, which results in more detailed performance of the sound with a density that is often better than the moving coil earplugs.

The striking characteristics of balanced armature headphones:

The frequency response curve of the balanced armature headset is more stable, in response to different temperatures and humidity, while the moving coil headphones is more sensible, and the frequency response curve change can give some audible changes. Balanced armature shows good stability and the sound quality is more stable and reliable. A very important reason is that the balanced armature units are almost all made of metal materials and formed by high precision moulds.

The advantages of balanced armature headphones:

Balanced armature headphones are smaller and lighter. Therefore, the balanced armature is more suitable in small IEM (In Ear Monitors), than for open or semi open earphones. This is why the balanced armature technology nowadays is only used in earphones.

Balance armature headset protects hearing most:

Balanced armature earphones help protect hearing since they are using the flexible ear foam and by the possibility to place the earphone deep in the ear canal, which gives a good sound insulation effect and the high sensitivity to small volume can also have a good performance in the sound quality. As a result, you can enjoy the pure sound experience in a noisy environment without the need to increase the volume. Therefore, the balanced armature units are used widely in live music concerts, medical, health care, aviation, military and other fields, and hearing aids.
