00:00Yep, there they are. There's the goose bumps.
00:05Yeah, I'm kind of speechless. I really am.
00:08I don't know how to describe. It's like the first time I put headphones on.
00:17What if you could walk away from your home hi-fi system and still take it sound with you?
00:21Not a watered-down version. Not good enough for travel.
00:24The same sound. The same architecture. The same soul.
00:28Two years ago, the Acute TH1 proved that was possible.
00:32Now, the TH2 takes that idea. Portable hi-fi without compromise.
00:37And perfects it.
00:39Let's get one thing out of the way. Yes, these have vacuum tubes.
00:44And no, it's not a gimmick. We didn't put glowing triodes in headphones for decoration.
00:48We did it because tubes simply sound better.
00:51They've been the anchor of high-end audio for decades for one simple reason.
00:56They make music feel more natural.
00:58Sound more real.
01:00And once you hear it, it's hard to forget.
01:05The TH2 advances the full system concept by using a true end-to-end dual mono signal path.
01:11The same layout you'd find in a high-performance two-channel system.
01:14And something no other headphone attempts.
01:16Each channel gets its own independent DAC core.
01:19Then its own triode functioning as a dedicated analog preamp.
01:22And finally its own discrete analog amplifier.
01:25Everything stays separate.
01:26Exactly as it should in a proper two-channel system.
01:29No shared stages.
01:30No crosstalk.
01:31No compromises.
01:33The result? A wider, more dimensional soundstage.
01:37Cleaner separation.
01:38A listening experience that feels less like headphone playback.
01:41And more like a performance unfolding in real space.
01:44The TH2 keeps everything listeners loved about the TH1.
01:48Just refined and improved in an order of magnitude.
01:51It features a redesigned headband with better weight distribution for increased comfort during long listening sessions.
01:58Stronger RF shielding and improved vibration dampening around the tube stage.
02:02Deeper bass and more extended treble with cleaner overall detail.
02:05Better noise cancellation with a lower noise floor.
02:08And improved passive isolation so the world stays out and your music stays in.
02:13And because everyone's preferences are different, the TH2 gives you eight bands of built-in tuning.
02:18This isn't a digital overlay.
02:20Your adjustments are written directly into the DSP at the firmware level and preserved at full resolution.
02:25So your custom voicing stays clean, consistent, and true across every input.
02:31Neutral when it should be.
02:33Expressive when it matters.
02:34But always yours.
02:37The TH2 isn't trying to replace your home system.
02:40It's designed for the moments when you have to step away from it.
02:43On the commute.
02:44On the plane.
02:45At work.
02:46Or just into the next room.
02:48It's the same architecture and sound that made you fall in love with listening in the first place.
02:52The warmth.
02:53The presence.
02:54The realism of your home system.
02:57But in a portable, wearable form.
03:02The evolution of vacuum tube audio.
03:04The evolution of vacuum tube audio.
03:04format of vacuum tube audio.
03:06The extraction of the vacuum tube in the first place.
03:07The default information is accessed.
03:07With less than anything we have to expect.
03:07The heart comes from 숨 than facility-based temperature.
03:07The Genev Gedanken.
