On-Ear HEADPHONES

Seamless Control of Apple Devices

From the 160 GB iPod classic® favored by committed music
collectors to the diverse enter tainment possibilities of

®

and iPad®, you’ll  nd it easier to cue and control

iPhone
your media with the ES-CTI300. Inline controls work with all
Apple devices and make on-the- y adjustments easier.

Detachable Copper Cable with Inline Controls

To strike a balance between sound quality and convenience,
your included cable features a 6N oxygen-free copper core
delivering close to perfect conductivity, which means cleaner,
more detailed sound. Encased in a transparent elastomer
coating to minimize tangling and touch-noise, this
audiophile-grade cable includes an iOS-Certi ed inline
control with mic, allowing users of Apple devices to skip
tracks, adjust the volume, and take or reject phone calls at
the touch of a button.

Note: Some smartphone cases including Apple iPhone 5s/5c cases may prevent
a proper cable connection.

Titanium Drivers for Full-Spectrum Sound

Delivering performance more akin to a small pair of
speakers, these 40 mm (1
tuned to illuminate details in the mix while maintaining
a natural and spacious presentation. The driver s are
particular ly talented in the
mid-range, reproducing vocals
with stunning realism and
clarity. Voiced for neutrality
and boasting a relatively  at
frequency response curve,
these drivers were designed
by the best in the business to
provide a more dynamic and
engaging listening experience.

Balanced and Musical Bass

Bass is crucial for a well-rounded and exciting headphone
sound. You want to be able to experience everything from
the explosive punch of a bass drum to the
subtle timbres of an upright bass but not
have those low frequencies swamp the rest
of the sound. It wasn’t easy, but our unique
combination of high-volume re ex
sub-chambers, non-resonant driver housings,
and wide-range titanium drivers (not to
mention the countless hours we spent in
the tuning lab) has resulted in immensely
satisfying low-frequency performance.

Built to Perform

The aluminum ear-cups aren’t just for looks—the material is
highly rigid, taming the resonances that can lead to distortion.
Because aluminum is so strong, the driver enclosure walls can
be made thinner, increasing inter nal volume and helping to
produce deeper bass. The MMCX connector housings and
hanger arms are also fabricated in aluminum to withstand
rough treatment. Like all Onkyo audio components, these
headphones feel like a quality product, with substance to
back up their cool and distinctive style.

Comfort for Long Listening Sessions

Encased in premium leatherette material, our memory foam
ear-pads gently conform to the shape of your ears, keeping
your music in and ambient noise out. Combined with an
adjustable headband—which is padded to relieve stress at
contact points—these headphones are very comfor table to
wear for long periods of time.

Premium Fit and Finish

Examine the back of the driver housing and you’ll see a
 nely etched spiral pattern that catches and re ects the light
quite beautifully. This spin-marking process really sets off the
lustrous silver or black  nish, while details such as
gold-plated MMCX connectors and reinforced stereo plug
reveal the ES-CTI300s as a product built to last.
