The Yanyin CANON II features a hybrid driver configuration: a 1DD (dynamic driver) with a bio-material diaphragm for fast and accurate bass attack and response, and a 4BA (balanced armature) driver for beautiful sound quality, super resolution, and excellent ultra-high frequency extension. Experienced acoustic engineers have used crossover technology to create a 3-way, 5-driver configuration with frequency division, maintaining low distortion, providing a good low-frequency atmosphere, strong impact, solid mid-range connection and richness, moderate extension of high-frequency details, excellent sibilance control, vocals close to the ears, and accurate mid-range to high-range connection.
The resin earphone body has two colors poured into it, not only on the faceplate but also on the housing. The metallic color is subdued, yet has a luxurious feel. Although they are handmade, the surface finish and other aspects of the appearance are of high quality. The model name [CANON II] and serial number are printed on the back. The fact that each individual unit has a different number is also a nice touch, as it is a high-grade product. On the top side there are adjustment switches and a vent (air hole) for the dynamic driver. The vents have ring-shaped covers, red on the right and blue on the left.
A feature of the Yanyin CANON II is the tuning switch, which can change the sound quality to four different levels. 1 = Low frequencies, 2 = Switch that changes the low frequencies. By combining the on and off positions of these two tuning switches, you can enjoy four different sound tunings. In recent years, various companies have released various types of earphones that allow this type of sound quality tuning, such as the DIP switch type, nozzle replaceable types, and filter replaceable types. The cable that comes with the Yanyin CANON II is a high-quality single crystal copper silver-plated cable. Although it is a solid, thick cable, it is soft, has a luxurious feel, and is easy to handle. The separation is good and each instrument is not drowned out, with powerful low frequencies, vocals that can be heard clearly up close, and high-resolution high frequencies, resulting in an overall rich and enjoyable listening sound.
Yanyin CANON II's experienced acoustic engineers have used professional crossover technology to arrange the five-driver configuration into a three-way frequency split, allowing the drivers to work perfectly while maintaining low distortion levels. The bass has a good atmosphere and powerful impact, the mids have a rich line and are the link between the entire music, and the highs have excellent detail, moderate extension, and well-controlled sibilance, resulting in vocals close to the ears and accurate mid-to-high frequency connection. Furthermore, multiple switch channels can be fine-tuned to optimize listening to popular music from China, the US, Japan, and Korea.
The Yanyin CANON II is crafted from medical-grade resin and individually handcrafted. The subdued color of the shell is combined with metallic parts bearing the brand logo and model name, creating a luxurious finish. The serial number is printed on the back, indicating that each pair is carefully manufactured and adjusted. The connector is a 0.78mm flat 2-pin type that supports re-cabling, and the nozzle is slightly thinner, allowing for easy attachment of earpieces from other manufacturers.
