FAQ

Why do LiveWires sound so incredible?
Most
in-ear headphones use a “collector” or “chamber”
to collect the frequency bands, combine them and then channel them
into your ears. These collectors create time alignment and phase
coherency problems with the audio. LiveWires
sound mix chamber is your ears. Your brain assembles the sound for
you, in time and phase coherently, like it has done for you since
birth.
