Acoustune HS3000 HICHIRIKI 篳篥
■ A 2026 Flagship Inspired by the Resonance of Traditional Gagaku
The nickname "Hichiriki" is derived from the bamboo wind instrument that plays the lead melody in Gagaku, Japan's traditional court music. The instrument's powerful yet warm tone, characterized by the "Enbai" technique—where pitch is fluidly shifted through breath pressure—is often compared to the voice of a person "standing on the earth."
The HS3000 embodies this pursuit of the "Sound of the Earth".
■ 2nd Gen Myrinx Composite Dynamic Driver with Japanese Beryllium-Coated Dome
The Myrinx Composite Dynamic Driver has evolved into its second generation. This newly developed transducer utilizes a medical-grade polymer biomaterial "Myrinx diaphragm"; combined with a Japanese-manufactured ultra-thin beryllium-coated dome. Manufactured through precise engineered functional coating processes, this driver delivers lifelike, natural sound across the entire frequency range, capturing even the finest nuances and breaths of female vocals.
■ Acoustune Capsule Technology (A.C.T) Ver 2.0
A signature of Acoustune is the modular structure where the acoustic chamber and the mechanical housing are completely separated. Known as "Acoustune Capsule Technology (A.C.T)" this design allows users to safely swap acoustic chambers via a high-precision movable outer housing. With the HS3000, A.C.T upgrades to Version 2.0,
offering 100% compatibility across all ACT chambers for both the HS2000 and HS3000 series. The HS3000 comes equipped with the new ACT08 chamber, featuring a beryllium-copper alloy body that focuses on a rich, thick midrange and a grand, transparent soundstage.
■ ARX600 Cable Featuring Furukawa Electric PCUHD®
The HS3000 includes the newly developed ARX600 cable, designed for optimal acoustic balance. It utilizes PCUHD® (Pure Copper Ultra High Drawability) from Furukawa Electric in a 4-core coaxial structure with a Japanese-made sheath in order to enhance noise resistance. It continues to use Pentaconn Ear IEM connectors by Nippon DICS for
superior contact reliability. All metal parts are crafted from high-precision titanium, adding a luxurious texture. The ARX600 features a detachable plug system, allowing users to switch between the included 3.5mm and 4.4mm plugs.
■ Four Types of Ear Tips, Including AEX70 and AEX50
The package includes the reference AEX70; ear tips alongside the AEX50; both made from SMP iFit® shape-memory polymer by SMP Technologies.
AEX70: Based on the AEX07 shape but refined for material properties, providing a stable fit and lightweightcomfort.
AEX50: Features a unique double-wing shape for a wide contact area near the ear canal entrance, reducing pressure while creating a unique soundstage.
Included Sizes: AEX70 (S/M/L), AEX50 (XS/S/M/L/XL), plus standard AEX07 (S/M/L) and AET02 foam tips.
