Apart from the above differences, the OE2i and OE2 headphones are identical.

The OE2 and OE2i headphones feature an enhanced proprietary TriPort acoustic headphone structure.

With redesigned and newly tuned earcup ports, audio reproduction is more balanced and natural.

There is no manufactured “boost” across the frequency range; low notes are full and rich, and mid-high frequencies are smooth and clear.

The headphone’s ear cushions, made from memory foam, conform to the user and combine with a redesigned headband for a better, more comfortable fit.

The OE2 and OE2i headphones fold flat for easy storage and protection.  With a simple swivel of the earcups, they collapse neatly for carrying in their included case.
