Abstract

Various aspects of this disclosure are directed to an earphone device comprising a speaker unit including at least one balanced armature transducer to convert an electrical signal into an acoustic signal. The electrical signal may define a frequency range comprising a first frequency and a second frequency. The earphone device may further comprise an impedance correction unit configured to receive the electrical signal and compliment an impedance of the speaker unit such that a sum of an impedance of the impedance correction unit and the impedance of the speaker unit at the first frequency is substantially similar to a sum of an impedance of the impedance correction unit and the impedance of the speaker unit at the second frequency.
