Bloom's Take It seems as if Vision Ears has been dialing in a clear identity in their flagship IEM tuning. Elements of recent releases like the Aura, EXT and Phonix LE converge in the VE10 bringing you an IEM that blends accuracy, technical performance, and musicality for a pretty compelling listening experience. Vision Ears consistently delivers with their IEM designs, and VE10 doesn’t disappoint with its anodized aluminum shell and futuristic aesthetic. It’s a 10-driver beast with a single Dynamic and 9 BAs, but it’s much more comfortable than VE’s other flagships like the EXT or Phonix. You also get a wonderful 4’ Silver / Copper custom Litz cable with the sort of quality expected at a multi-kilobuck price point. VE10 is an excellent all-arounder and offers a balanced tuning that delivers textured, physical bass, rich midrange, and clear, naturally-extended treble. Combined with a three-dimensional soundstage and marvelous imaging, it’s tough to find anything to complain about. We pitted it against two of our current favorite similarly arranged IEM behemoths: FiR Audio’s Radon 6 and 64 Audio’s Volur. Check out our full review for the faceoff! After VE’s’ recent run of excellent limited editions, VE10 brings the streak back to standard production with an impeccably balanced sound and staunch technical performance. Despite coming in $1200 less than the flagship Phonix, VE10 presents as an absolute TOTL IEM. |
Introducing the Future of Audio Excellence
Vision Ears is celebrating a decade of sonic innovation, a monumental milestone in their journey of pushing the boundaries of auditory perfection. They are pleased to commemorate their 10th anniversary by unveiling their latest triumph, the much-anticipated VE-Line masterpiece: the VE10.
The VE10 is a true marvel of audio engineering that uniquely combines technology, precision and art. It combines the power of (x9) balanced-armature drivers with a single 8mm dynamic driver specifically designed for powerful, low bass. Added to this is a specially designed horn to extend the high frequency range and minimize THD. All sound tubes have a special geometric shape to minimize turbulence and reduce the distortion factor. This fusion results in a sound experience that not only invites you to listen, but also transports you into a world of pure sound ecstasy.
VE10 Universal Signature Design
The VE10 is initially available only in a Universal fit (custom fit is expected to be available in Q1 2024.) For the VE10 Signature Design, VE broke out of their comfort zone of using the standard acrylic shell for a completely new anodized aluminum shell. The result is a fresher, more modern, futuristic acoustic and visual masterpiece.
The design reflects VE's passion for products that look as good as they sound. With their unique fitting technology, you'll achieve the ultimate in sound experience without sacrifice in comfort or fit.
VE10 Cable
The VE10 comes with a uniquely created balanced (4.4mm) upgrade cable, specifically matched to the sound design of the VE10: powerful, dynamic and detailed.
