These elements combine to create an organic and immersive sound, making "Macbeth" a standout in audio engineering.

Inspired by the ELYSIUM's ability to create an electrifying, detailed, yet warm and inviting sound, Vision Ears sought to push the boundaries of what is possible with a small earphone. The EXT MK II is the culmination of this pursuit, delivering deeper, more impactful lows, richer, more immersive mids, and airier, more uplifting highs.
The EXT MK II offers a captivating listening experience that unveils the hidden treasures of your music. Its four electrostatic drivers deliver unparalleled high frequencies, creating a spacious, open soundstage with intricate detail that never feels excessive. Coupled with a redesigned 9.2 mm dynamic driver for powerful sub-bass and a 6 mm driver for the mids, the EXT MK II reveals the uncompromising beauty and breathtaking power of your music. This versatile earphone excels at reproducing a wide range of genres with masterful precision.
The EXT MK II features the second generation of Vision Ears' HALC (High Precision Leveling Chamber) technology, ensuring that the dynamic mids driver delivers the most accurate sound possible.
Technical specifications
VE’s limited edition of the EXT MK II comes with a gorgeous shimmering golden faceplate and a matching CNC-milled golden case. Strictly limited to 200 units, it is the last era of the legendary EXT - before it goes into well-deserved retirement.
With VE’s good friends at Effect Audio, VE developed a special, gold-detailed black cable specifically for the vision of the perfect EXT MK II. The carefully matched mix of copper, silver, and gold alloys allows more separation in the upper mids and a stronger presence in the high frequencies. This sets the stage for an even more expansive sound, evoking the feel of open-back headphones. Vocals become more immediate and lifelike, instruments settle perfectly into their spaces, and the bass seems to emerge from nowhere - delivering a tighter, more impactful punch.
