Aperio - GoldenSound Edition Features
Cup style
More information
Open-back headphone designs are often higher-performance but have poor noise isolation and leak sound. Closed-back designs provide better noise isolation and leak less sound.
Wearing style
More information
Over-ear headphones sit over your ear and surround your ear with a ring of padding. On-ear headphones are padded but rest on top of your ear. In-ear monitors are worn inside your ear canal.
Driver type
More information
Speakers and headphones use a device called a 'driver' to create sound. Different types of drivers have different strengths and weaknesses, but can all produce great sound. Common varieties include dynamic, planar magnetic, and electrostatic.
Amp required
More information
Some headphones require the power of an amplifier to reach comfortable listening volumes.
A Bespoke Tuning Experience
The GoldenSound Edition offers a uniquely tailored listening experience. Warwick Acoustics and GoldenSound collaborated to refine every aspect of the system’s tuning, from bass extension to treble refinement, ensuring that no detail was left untouched. The result is a system that combines clinical precision with musicality, offering lifelike timbre, expansive soundstage, and controlled, authoritative bass. This is a headphone system designed for the discerning audiophile who demands nothing less than perfection.
Revolutionary BD-HPEL Electrostatic Drivers
Utilizing Warwick Acoustics' new 2nd generation BD-HPEL electrostatic transducers, the Aperio GSE is one of the most advanced headphone systems in the world. These advanced drivers operate with an unprecedented bias voltage of 1800V, over three times higher than traditional electrostatic headphones. This results in a dramatic improvement in detail retrieval, control, and transparency, delivering a listening experience that is as close as possible to the original recording. With the Aperio GSE, every subtle nuance in your music is brought to life with unparalleled clarity and realism.
A Match Made in Heaven
The expertise of Warwick Acoustics Engineering team combined with GoldenSound's astute audio knowledge is a perfect pairing.
Digital and Analog Innovation
The Aperio GoldenSound Edition features a complete overhaul of both its digital and analog signal paths, providing the flexibility to experience exceptional sound quality with any source. Whether you’re using the system’s integrated DAC or connecting to an external DAC or vinyl setup, the analog signal path remains pure and untouched by digital processing. This analog-first approach ensures that the sound is always natural and uncolored, delivering an authentic listening experience that stays true to the original recording.
Precision Meets Musicality
The APERIO GoldenSound Signature Edition was tuned by ear, but with scientific and objective understanding and guidance as a driving force. Achieving a response closely matching the Diffuse Field HRTF of the human ear, precise, tasteful alterations to a direct HRTF response were made to enhance the listening experience, providing a more expansive soundstage, richer timbre, and improved bass response. This tuning strikes the perfect balance between objective technical performance and subjective listening pleasure, making the APERIO GSE a masterpiece of audio engineering.
Best of British Audio Engineering
Crafted by Warwick Acoustics, a leader in high-performance headphone systems, the Aperio GoldenSound Edition exemplifies the pinnacle of British engineering. Warwick Acoustics’ expertise in electrostatic technology is matched by GoldenSound’s ear for nuance and detail, resulting in a headphone system that combines technical prowess with an intimate, emotionally engaging sound signature. Every component is meticulously designed and assembled in the UK, ensuring that the Aperio GSE is built to the highest standards of quality and performance.
