This month, UK distributor SCV has announced a new partnership with portable audio innovators EarMen, based in Chicago, IL.
Launched by Milomir ‘Miki’ Trosic, founder of high-end tube audio manufacturer Auris Audio, EarMen’s mission is “to develop new solutions for mobile audio users who crave musical enjoyment, high resolution and real detail from their portable audio devices, on-the-go or wherever they may choose to listen”.
Portable High-Performance Audio Devices
To bridge the gap between audiophile listeners and an ever-changing portable market that sees more headphone jacks disappearing each day, EarMen crafted a three-pronged game plan: powerful audio components, elegant design and simple plug and play use.
Each product in the EarMen range is developed to be ultra-portable, in a comfortable format to fit in one’s pocket alongside a smartphone.
