Renowned for its high-performance electrostatic drivers, the EXT has won numerous awards and received high praise from top reviewers worldwide. With the EXT MK II, we are taking this excellence to a new level. With a sound that inspires you even more and an improved fit for hours of pleasure.
Based on the idea of the ELYSIUM to create an electrifying detailed but also warm and embracing sound, we wanted to explore what is possible. We wanted more. More lows that make you feel the rumble. More mids that vividly embrace you. And more highs to bring an airy and elated experience.
The feeling of an electrostatic headphone is unparalleled and hard to achieve with a small earphone. The EXT MK II will prove it wrong. An easy lightness surrounds this creation, airy, silk-like notes gather around your head, musical areas you never recognized will unfold before your closed eyes, a truly electrifying experience.
The EXT MK II brings you closer to the true heart of your music. It provides you with a captivating sound experience that takes you to all the secret treasures your music has in store for you.
With enhanced tuning, we have refined the low frequency response to achieve greater accuracy and detail while improving midrange clarity. As a result, the EXT MK II offers an even more natural and immersive listening experience with unsurpassed depth and balance across all frequencies. Experience your music like never before - with a precision that lingers for a long time.

The four EST drivers deliver the widest high frequencies we've ever built, creating a wide, open landscape with lush detail that's never overdone. Combined with a dynamic 9.2 mm driver with plenty of sub-bass power, that we've re-designed for the EXT MK II, and a 6 mm driver for the mids, we were able to reveal the uncompromising beauty and breathtaking power of your music. All in all, the EXT MK II is a virtuoso of music, capable of masterfully reproducing almost any genre.
Exclusively featuring the 2nd generation of the Vision Ears HALC (High Precision Leveling Chamber). Finely tuning the sound of our dynamic Mids driver to highest accuracy.
Dynamic drivers are known to give a natural performance to the lows, with great depth and decay. For the EXT MK II, we re-designed the 9.2mm dynamic driver to create even deeper, more accurate and impactful lows with an outstanding structure, naturalness and impact. The lows are broad and layered, giving a solid ground to this outstanding sound composition.
The EXT MK II continues to use the 6mm dynamic driver for the middle frequencies, finely tuned by our 2nd generation HALC, a widely praised tuning concept we introduced with our ELYSIUM for the first time. Additionally to the leveling chamber of the HALC we use a STC (Side Tuning Chamber) that allow the midrange to be precisely tuned on the vocal range. The result is a smooth and rich presence to the middle frequencies. Vocals are full and rich, marvelously performing with a vivid and natural tone.
Four state-of-the-art Electrostatic drivers are powering the highs, unveiling all the micro details with a stunning easiness. The result are lively, airy highs with breathtaking purity, precision and richness. An uncompromising experience which makes you listen to your music like it’s the first time.
The idea was to create a technical but elegant shell with the aesthetics of an open back headphone. The most captivating element of the EXT MK II is the machined faceplate with the prominent and magnificent X design.
The complex cnc machining was optimized for this project to realize the delicately shifting lines of the design. A vacuum metalized mesh is elegantly sparkling underneath the open structure of the X design. This special aluminium acoustic mesh is giving the dynamic drivers the air to breathe and unfold their rumbling power, while protecting the internal components from outer influences.
The shell was made of solid black acrylic in a semi-custom shape. A black transparent area is allowing you to have a discreet peek on the black HALC and the four electrostatic drivers.
For the EXT MK II, we have added a beautiful grey to the purple that is already familiar.
The EXT MK II design is prominently covering the finely machined aluminium case. A striking and unmistakable look, showing the remarkable design of the EXT MK II. The machining of this case was made with extraordinary precision, to make the two parts of the case fit perfectly together.
The inside walls are all covered with a rubber inlay, so that the earphone is always protected when you are on the go. A premium leather pocket holds the earphones in place, preventing them to collide during transport.
The newly designed, smaller nozzle offers an incredibly secure and comfortable fit for even more ears, without losing a single note of our signature sound.
The harmonic synergy of dynamic and EST drivers, combined with innovative technologies such as HALC, gives the EXT MK II an uniquely balanced sound character that brings every subtlety of your music to life. Find out more about this extraordinary technology and discover why it makes the listening experience so unique.
