E4c Sound Isolating Earphones feature High-Definition drivers with Tuned Port Technology for incredible audio reproduction. As the ideal companion to any portable or home audio source, the E4c’s Tuned Port design improves airflow around the driver to deliver professional-grade sound with extended bass response.
