Introducing the S6: Akoustyx’s First Planar Magnetic IEM

The S6 - our first planar IEM.

Are you searching for the ultimate in-ear monitor with true studio reference sound? Meet the Akoustyx S6 Planar Magnetic IEM—the pinnacle of our innovation in the world of high-end audio. The S6 is engineered for discerning audiophiles, musicians, and recording professionals who demand uncompromising clarity, comfort, and build quality.

Easier said than done.…rolling eyes, grinding teeth….the works!

It took us much longer than we expected, with the effects of the pandemic, logistics delays & everyone’s lives turned upside down, we have got our very first planar driver IEM ready.

The housing is a lightweight aluminum alloy with an incredibly unique Titanium-Oxide treatment giving you an amazing satin finish & with an added polished blue/red ring for left & right identification.

What Makes the Akoustyx S6 Unique?

Development of the S6 began in 2018, with our team pushing the limits of planar-magnetic driver design in an ultra-compact 11mm format. The result? Planar magnetic in-ear monitors that deliver exceptional sound detail and dynamic range—housed in our award-winning R2-Series aluminum alloy chassis.

Despite the challenges of the pandemic and supply chain delays, we refused to compromise on performance. The S6 offers everything you expect from planar technology—rich mids, fast transients, and extended highs—without sacrificing fit or comfort.
