The ADV Beta is the first earbud design that features selectable cable routing. The Beta allows the user to select between the typical straight down cable routing or select the cable to go up and over the ear for a more secure headphone. The up and over option allows for the cable to be diverted behind the ear and creates additional stability and reduced cable noise. Additionally the Beta includes custom-made cable guides for additional cable management and comfort.
With IPX-3* water resistance, the Adventure Series earphones are protected against spraying water and adverse conditions for never-miss-a-day use, rain or shine. Westone's Adventure Warning and Control System (AWACS Reflective Cable) allows for improved visibility in low-light conditions with a reflective, replaceable cable along with the MFi (Made for iPhone, iPad, iPod) system with three-button volume control and inline microphone. The earphone is constructed from a zinc uni-body, which allows for durability and unmatched design performance.
Keeping sound quality a priority, Westone integrated their rich heritage of signature driver technologies into the Adventure Series Beta. A proprietary extended range 6.5mm micro driver with PST™ (Precision Surface Tuning), 20Hz -18kHz frequency response, and impedance of 21 ohms, delivers sonic accuracy with extended detailed bass.
Westone Adventure Series Beta also features:
- Active Fit System - Up & Over™ cable routing and five sizes of both the patented STAR™ Tips and True-Fit™ Foam Tips to ensure superior fit, comfort, and retention for even the toughest adventure.
- Zinc Uni-body Construction – A low-profile lightweight Zinc uni-body and aluminum faceplate for strength, durability and style.
-The MFi control allows the listener to rewind, fast-forward, skip songs, play/pause, activate Siri interface and answer/hang-up calls without interruption of the their activity.
"The Adventure Series Alpha has been a hit with our customers; the active user, the traveler, and the music enthusiast," said John F. Lowrey, Vice President, Audio Group at Westone. "We thought about how could we improve on an award winning great product and we took all the feedback we've received and went to the drawing board to design the 2nd generation Beta to be even more detailed and match the warm, rich sound signature Westone earphones are know for. Beta builds upon the solid Alpha foundation and adds a new zinc uni-body which is longer lasting material, new selectable cable routing and improved musicality which making it a very unique product that can be used and enjoyed as anyone as their premier headphone for active use."
