Already a class-leader, the latest Astell&Kern UW100 MKII earphones have been revised for even better sound quality, comfort and battery life.
Award-winners made better The Astell&Kern UW100 MKII follows on from a multi-award winning model and is better than ever. The new circuit design reduces excess noise and distortion while wireless connectivity has been strengthened, giving a more stable connection with high bitrate music files. Battery life has improved by over 50% to around 9.5 hours. With a revised design, ergonomics have improved, with the MKII design being the most comfortable yet.
Class-leading, digital sound Just as with the original model, what sets these headphones apart from rivals is the world-class digital implementation. Using a dedicated AK4332, 32-bit DAC (Digital to Analogue Convertor) combined with Astell & Kern’s bespoke digital processing, the signal is processed with absolute precision and accuracy. Wide bandwidth sound means you’ll enjoy superb dynamics, with deep powerful bass and the crispest detail at the top-end.
Advanced wireless technology With support for Bluetooth 5.2, you benefit from the latest advances in Bluetooth, including greater range and a more stable connection. Compatible with aptX Adaptive, these Astell & Kern headphones precisely adjust the bit rate according to the wireless environment. This helps give you the best possible resolution and reduced latency issues. In short, it makes wireless sound less compromised than ever before.
Enhanced call quality Featuring Qualcomm’s cVc Generation 8.0 (Clear Voice Capture), the UW100 MKII offers improved call quality. The electronics help the mics in providing exceptionally clear voice quality for your caller. They also enhance the call’s stability, with less vocal distortion.
Ideal, passive noise isolation Carefully shaped for a snug fit, these Astell&Kern Bluetooth headphones offer excellent passive noise isolation. Although not quite as effective in blocking all background noise as active noise cancelling headphones, they do significantly drop outside noise. Being passive, you benefit from longer battery life and none of the product cost being spent on noise-reducing electronics – meaning more is spent on ultimate sound quality.
Effortless control Responsive touch controls let you make intuitive commands for functions such as volume, track skip, play and pause. Download the AK TWS app, available for Android and Apple iOS, and enjoy further control. Ambient mode level control, battery life and equaliser settings are all available via the app. Support for Google Assistant and Siri gives you effortless voice control, too.
Longer lasting battery life With up to 9.5 hours battery life, these A&K Bluetooth headphones offer a 50% improvement over their predecessors. A further 19.5 hours charge is stored in the case, giving you a total playback time of 29 hours. If you’re out of charge but in a hurry, a quick, 10-minute charge is all that’s needed for an hour’s playback.
Enjoy ultimate sound quality on the move, with the Astell&Kern UW100 MKII.
