Binary Acoustics just announced its latest IEM, the Dynaquattro, available at HiFiGo. This new IEM follows the Chopin, as collaboration with popular audio YouTuber, GizAudio. This new IEM features a unique four dynamic driver design with different materials for each based on their frequency band. Each should have its own character, leveraging the power of dynamic drivers with well-layered details perfect for music or gaming. 

The Dynaquattro driver setup breaks down as follows:

  • A 10mm and 6mm pair of dynamic drivers handles the low end. The larger driver uses titanium and silicone in its diaphragm and both and internal and external magnetic structure. The 6mm driver uses a wool diaphragm to provide a tighter bunch to the bass frequencies. 
  • An 8mm driver covers the midrange. Its diaphraphm is composed or Cermet, a combination of ceramic and metal. Binary suggests this allows the vocals to be smooth and natural due to its lightweight but solid characteristics.
  • Finally, a 6.8mm driver covers the highs. Its diaphragm is coated in aluminum for articulate and extended treble. 

The earphones also have a unique shell design. The portion inserted into your ear is made of smooth resin and shaped to match the average human ear. The faceplates are made of CNC machined aluminum with a cogwheel, steampunk-inspired design. 

As we saw with the Chopin, Binary isn't slacking on the accessories. It comes with a hardshell Pelican-like case, six pairs of silicone tips to help you find a perfect fit, and a modular 2-pin cable that allows you to quickly swap between 3.5mm and 4.4mm terminations.

Audio is one of the most important aspects to any gaming experience and doubly so if you're banking on a competitive advantage. We've said for ages that a great pair of headphones is often better than an average gaming headset as long as you have a standalone mic. Dynamic drivers are known for the quality and quantity of their bass, which is great for immersive gaming, and the mid and high drivers seemed tuned for footsteps, layers, and details. It looks like they could be great for gaming as well as music, though we'll need to see for sure how it stacks up.  Stay tuned for the full review when our sample comes in.

Until then, head over to HiFiGo to find out more or pick one up for yourself.
