Headphone Zone x Astell&Kern’s latest AK UW100MKII earbuds feature a unique design and a range of fine-tuning options

A must-have addition to an audiophile’s collection

Headphone Zone has launched the AK UW100MKII True Wireless Earbuds, developed in collaboration with Astell&Kern. The earbuds feature a pentagon-to-circle design with light-reflecting surfaces, accompanied by a cradle. Open the cradle near your device to activate pairing mode—no need to navigate Bluetooth settings. Plus, you can customise the User EQ,  adjust touch-key settings, manage battery status and switch between four ambient modes via the AK TWS app.

The earbuds come equipped with Balanced Armature drivers and a 32-bit AKM DAC, ensuring precise audio decoding for high-quality sound. The AK UW100MKII is powered by the Qualcomm QCC5141 chip and Bluetooth 5.2 for connectivity, with True Wireless Stereo Plus tech reducing transmission delay by sending independent signals to each earbud.

It supports the aptX Adaptive codec, offering dynamic bit rate adjustment and 24-bit audio at 420 kbps. The earbuds also feature multi-pairing and multi-point functionality, letting you switch between devices and providing passive noise isolation (PNI) for effective noise blocking.

With up to 9.5 hours of playback (29 hours with the charging case), wireless and fast charging via USB-C, and touch controls for music, calls and volume, the AK UW100MKII offers convenience and ease. A triple tap on the left earbud activates the voice assistant, while Qualcomm’s cVc Generation 8.0 ensures clear call quality.

The Astell&Kern AK UW100MKII is available exclusively on the Headphone Zone website for ₹24,999.
