Unscrewed and disassembled: Tear-Down
The fact that the two ear warmers can be rather easily detached and attached by carefully pulling off the three lugs is a good thing. Then it will also work with hygiene for in between and an optional spare parts exchange later. But be careful! Always look for the place where there is proper resistance, then you can also disengage the lugs by slightly turning and lifting. Just by turning, as implied by the arrow on the plastic ring, it unfortunately did not work, the parts sit extremely tight.
If you take off the padding, three small screws quickly let you inside. Since Sharkoon has nothing to hide there either, they can confidently afford such easy access instead of the usual glue. This is RMA-friendly and more than appropriate for the price range. The 50 mm neodymium drivers sit in a sealed chamber without any acoustic frippery like bass tubes or dual-chamber resonators. Thanks for this! The pictures below show the left shell with the PCB including the two sockets for the TRSS cable and the microphone.
The circuit board makes a clean impression, as does the rest of the workmanship inside. The strain relief of the cable to the right side is solved by means of knots and is absolutely sufficient.
The large interior volume does not hinder the bass, on the contrary. However, we will hear and see later why a slight damping would have been even more sensible here. The part has such a huge reserve in the level stability that you could have easily inserted some more insulation wool or foam rubber. Then the bass becomes really dry and blacker than a raven. The installed 50 mm drivers have quite a long stroke, which is good for huge sound pressures. How good, I’ll explain in a moment. In any case, we see a strongly pronounced funnel with a concise high-frequency bulge in the center and an air opening below in the magnet. This is rarely seen in headphone drivers of this size, and usually only in high-performance speakers.
Before we get straight to the measurement, I would like to make one more comment. Sharkoon specifies the maximum power at 40 mW, which should not only apply per channel according to my measurements, but is even a real understatement. So it really gets down to business and times should be careful where you then connect these transducers.
