Vision Ears Phonix
RISE TO PERFECTION
Listening to the PHöNIX is an unparalleled experience of stately power and elegant resolution. Tight and bottomless lows are giving a solid ground to gently natural mids, which are seamlessly transitioning to phenomenal rich highs.
TECHNICAL IDEA
The legendary ERLKöNIG left the stage a while ago. Many praised the outstanding sound and imaging of this exceptional product. We gained massively positive feedback, nevertheless the weight of the shell and the price was always a negative factor for some. Based on this we developed a new shell design and at the same time we improved the driver configuration of the ERLKöNIG engine. The PHöNIX is not just an elegantly new garment for the ERLKöNIG - it’s a transformation. We improved the sound especially in the high frequencies for a more openness and airy experience. Changes were done cautiously, well aware of the heritage it has become.
THE DESIGN
The idea was to create an elegant design, combining materials we never used before. Each individual shell was meticulously machined from pristine mono blocks of carbon fibre. It was machined with aerospace-grade CNC machines, using aerospace-grade carbon fibre material. Every carbon block has an individual structure, so that each shell is unique as a fingerprint. The faceplate is a composition of three materials and layers. The carrier faceplate is made of CNC machined anodized aluminium, under a beautiful domed sapphire glass you can see a dark red chrome layer, prominently wearing the golden PHöNIX logo.
The PHöNIX is available with a golden or with a matte black carrier faceplate.
THE CASE
With the PHöNIX we introduce our all new Premium Line case made of genuine leather. The smart interior design is making it easy to store your precious Premium Line In-Ears without risking them to collide with each other during transport. The cable is neatly stored under an elegant strap. A perfect gadget for your earphone with the aesthetics of an exclusive watch case.
A separate genuine leather key strap gives you the opportunity to cling the leather case securely on your bag when you are on the go.

CUSTOM MADE CABLE

With the all new VE Adapter you can simply change the termination from balanced 2.5mm to balanced 4.4mm. This premium adapter comes with a gold-plated phosphor bronze conductor and an audio grade POM insulation.
LOWS
Four Balanced Armature drivers are empowering the lows to unleash their unstrained energy. For all who are familiar with the settings of the ERLKöNIG, the position 2 is comparable with this new setup of the PHöNIX bass unit. The lows are well controlled, with a striking and intensive impact. The depth and sub-bass feeling is almost of a dynamic driver, giving the overall sound a stunning, beautifully layered and solid ground.
MIDS
The assembly of four Balanced Armature drivers impressively showcase how vivid and natural this technology can sound when perfectly implemented. Vision Ears is widely known to give great attention to the mid presentation, with the PHöNIX we created a charismatic and staggering mid-range, full of vivid details and an unparalleled naturalness.
MID-HIGHS
The highs of the PHöNIX are powered by four BA drivers, giving the upper range of the frequencies a lustrous and harmonic imaging. The richness of details is breathtakingly uncompromising. The highs are unfolding with a natural timbre, slightly sparkling and at all time not exaggerating.
SUPER-TWEATER
The all new Super-Tweeter of the PHöNIX is giving extra airiness to the sound. Unveiling the barely perceptible with ease and refining the highs with a stunning openness.
