The Magnet Driver™ B50 Set will ensure that you never drop another screw. Fiddling around with screws and wasting time is a thing of the past. There is a wide variety of materials for voice coils – but they’re almost always made from copper. The variety of materials include HI-OFC (Oxygen-Free Copper) and PCOCC (Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting). The now-magnetic voice coil then continuously attracts and repels the permanent magnet, causing it to vibrate at a certain frequency. By combining more than one driver type in a pair of headphones, the frequency range of said headphones will be much wider, therefore improving their overall sound quality. The improved frequency range of hybrid drivers is the main reason why both audiophiles and manufacturers prefer them over single-driver construction. Hybrid drivers diagram (from: Taotronics.com)

Stronger magnets have the potential to create more significant air movement which, in turn, will result in better frequency coverage for the driver. But that’s an oversimplification, to say the least, as the fine-tuning and quality of other components can also affect the sound quality.

Magnetic Drivers

A driver’s diaphragm has the same concept as a human’s diaphragm as both contract and flatten to generate air movement. But the frequency of the movement in a headphone diaphragm is so much higher and varied to create different sounds. Does the Headphones’ Driver Size Matter? 6 types of headphone drivers

Instead of the numbers, you should look at how well each driver was tuned and integrated to the headphones. Many manufacturers use dynamic drivers for two reasons: low price and their ability to cover a wide range of frequencies. The diaphragm in dynamic drivers has more room to vibrate, making it capable of producing more responsive bass – albeit not the cleanest nor most detailed. Overall, the complete driver integration, tuning, and build of your headphones matter more than the type, quantity, or size of your drivers. There’s also a subset of electrostatic drivers called an electret. Electret drivers have a permanent charge on the film, eliminating the need for specialized amplification. High-end IEMs like the ThieAudio Monarch typically use these. How do electrostatic drivers work? Electrostatic driver diagram. (from: GeekDad)Titanium is a transition metal of silver color with low density, and high strength. Titanium has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any metal. It is applied to earbud drivers to make sure that they are as light and strong as possible. This means that the diaphragm in titanium driver earbuds is stiff and strong enough to resonate high-fidelity, clear sound and high quality throughout the audio spectrum, and at the same time light and precise enough to ensure super fast response times and the accurate reproduction of sounds.
