INTRODUCTION

   Listening to music while using public transportation (or on the go in general), studying, working out or even when trying to fall asleep is something most people i know are into (myself including - excluding the studying part that is) but just like with most products in the market because of the large number of models currently it's just not easy for consumers (audiophile or not) to "choose" the right in-ear monitors (or IEMs for short). Over the years we've tried our best to review some of the most popular models in the market (at least in terms of price/performance) but simply put there's no way for us to keep up (besides it's not like we only get IEMs to review). A few months back we reviewed the bass-rich Beryllium (Be) IEMs by Periodic Audio (a rather new player in the market) and since we were very impressed with their overall audio performance, we decided to check their next model in line, the Titanium (Ti) IEMs.

   Founded in 2016, Periodic Audio is led by the seasoned team of Daniel Wiggins, Mike Kim, Zeke Burgess, and Ben Webster. Collectively, they have more than 140 years of consumer electronics experience in electronic, mechanical, firmware, acoustical, and industrial design for a wide variety of brands, including Apple, Blue Microphones, Event Electronics, Flextronics, Harman International, Mackie, Microsoft, SONOS, and Starke Sound.

   Just like in the case of the Beryllium IEMs (review here) the product name once again points out to material used for the diaphragm of the two drivers, in this case 100% pure Titanium foil (known for its stiffness-to-weight ratio which results to snappy response and clean tones). Thanks to that the two 10mm drivers deliver a frequency response of 16Hz-30kHz with 32Ohm impedance and 96dB sensitivity (117.5dB peak SPL) and can handle a continuous power handling of up to 200mW. Just like with the Beryllium IEMs the Titanium IEMs are housed in bodies made out of polycarbonate polymer complete with rear caps made out of grade 304 stainless steel (18% chromium - 8% nickel) and front grilles made out of grade 316 stainless steel (16% chromium - 10% nickel - 2% molybdenum). A silicone coated 1.5 meter long cable (not detachable) with a gold plated 3.5mm plug on its end completes the product. Last but not least Periodic Audio once again seems to be very confident about the quality of their product so the Titanium IEMs are covered with the same 5-year limited warranty as the Beryllium ones.
