One of the differences between LEAR's new "semi-hard" shell vs traditional hard acrylic shell!​

 ​

What's the hardness of LEAR hard and semi-hard shell materials?
Hope the Shore Hardness Scale will help you find out the answer!​

 
 
This material is now available for parts (canal, body, and faceplate) , or the whole earphones.
Additional HKD$498 for the semi-hard shell on LEAR LCM 1-BD4.2 or re-shells.
 
Features:
Better fitting & sealing, hence more comfortable;
Anti-sliding surface;
Better isolation;
Impact resistance.

Time for a BD4.2!

Looks good, should be very comfortable.

Not too sure if this semi hard material will last as well as fully hard..but...looks pretty tempting.

something like silicon? 

 

[cyph3r]

definitely a very good move towards more comfort and isolation while maintaining durability.
 
What material will you use? Silicone?

Both of our materials composite with similar chemicals, but with a different proportion, hence a different hardness.
They should be the same, if operated properly.
Since the semi-hard material is impact resistance, it helps to prevent damage from dropping or pressure of any kind.

Nope,this is not silicon.

Interesting. Would you disclose the components this copolymer? Is this your own development? I gues you have studied the polymers skin compatibility?

Since the new material is custom-made by our vendor upon our request, we are not sure if they would disclose the components of the material. Meanwhile, harmless to skin and environmentally friendly are always the first consideration when we develop materials.

Seems to be a very durable material! 

 

[cyph3r]

thanks! sounds great. let me know when you have your first custom with that material up in line. 

 

[burpingboy]

intersting! seems like it is similar to those mobile phone TPU Gel type of material...

Actually all of our current LCM series can add HKD$498 to use the semi hard material as well.
