This year at CES 2016 in Las Vegas, celebrated high resolution audio experts, Astell & Kern, have just announced the next generation of their acclaimed Layla, Roxanne and Angie earphones, as well as a brand new entry level model, they’ve named Rosie.
Engineered in partnership with Jerry Harvey, who has developed in-ear monitors for the likes of the Rolling Stones, the eye-catching range represents the absolute best in personal audio.
All four models feature intricate crossovers and multiple drivers for exquisite sonics. The range topping Layla II comes with a body, cap and sound bore crafted from a solid block of titanium. While Roxanne II, Angie II and the new entry level Rosie have a body, cap and sound bore milled from a solid block of aluminium.
