The Shanling SONO is an affordable hybrid in-ear monitor featuring two coaxial dynamic drivers—a 9.2 mm bio-diaphragm bass driver and a 6.8 mm liquid-crystal-diaphragm midrange driver—plus a custom high-frequency balanced-armature driver. It has zinc-alloy housings, a detachable 0.78 mm 2-pin cable, and two interchangeable tuning nozzles for adjusting the sound signature. With 16-ohm impedance and 103 dB sensitivity, it is easy to drive from portable sources. The SONO originally sold for approximately US$79.
