The Astell&Kern XIO is a premium in-ear monitor developed in collaboration with 64 Audio, combining advanced driver technology with carefully engineered construction. Its 10-driver hybrid design and four-way crossover bring together deep bass, natural midrange and detailed treble, while tia technology helps deliver clear, spacious high frequencies. Finished in black DLC-coated 904L stainless steel and supplied with a 4.4mm balanced cable, XIO is built for listeners who want to get more from their high-quality music collection.
Advanced Hybrid Driver Technology
XIO uses ten drivers in each earpiece, combining two dynamic drivers for low frequencies with eight balanced armature drivers handling the midrange and treble. An integrated four-way passive crossover coordinates the drivers across the frequency range, helping produce a cohesive presentation with controlled bass, clear vocals and finely rendered high-frequency detail. The published frequency response is 5Hz–22kHz.
Hear the Space and Detail in Your Music
64 Audio's tia tubeless high-frequency driver and integrated waveguide are designed to reduce unwanted resonance while preserving treble clarity and spatial information. The included apex pressure-relief system allows air to escape from the sealed ear canal, helping reduce pressure during longer listening sessions while maintaining sound isolation. Interchangeable apex modules provide options for tailoring the listening experience.
Precision-Machined Materials and Quality Accessories
The XIO housings are precision-machined from 904L stainless steel and finished with a black Diamond-Like Carbon coating for a durable, distinctive appearance. A silver-plated UP-OCC copper Litz cable with a 4.4mm balanced plug is included, alongside a leather carrying case, cleaning accessories and silicone and foam ear tips in three sizes. With a 0.78mm two-pin connection, the detachable cable can also be replaced with a compatible alternative.
