There’s a new name in the high-end earphone market: Dark Matter Audio Labs, or DMA Labs for short. And if the first four in-ear monitors sound as good as they look, they could be pretty spectacular.
The company sounds a bit like an audio A-Team, a group of industry veterans from “several custom in-ear monitor brands” with years of audio engineering and live music touring experience under their collective belts. And the promise here is “superior fit and exceptional sound signatures”.
DMA Labs IEMs: Key Features and Prices
There are four models at a range of prices from $599 to $1,699. And they are certainly striking. The four models are:
- DM2H Hybrid Dual-Driver Custom IEM with 1x Dynamic Driver and 1x Balanced Armature Driver – $599
- DMA3 Triple-Driver Custom IEM with 3x Balanced Armature Drivers – $899
- DMA6 Six-Driver Custom IEM with 6x Balanced Armature Drivers – $1499
- DMA8 Eight-Driver Custom IEM with 8x Balanced Armature Drivers – $1699
We don’t have more detailed specs on details such as frequency response and sensitivity, but we expect it to be available in a few days when the IEMs are officially launched and the official website goes live.
They look like strong contenders for rarer models on our list of the best wired earphones based on looks alone – who doesn’t want something that looks like a mist in their ears?
