A specially developed low-frequency resonance chamber gives the all-BA design real bass weight, two tuning switches offer four sound signatures, and the starry carbon fibre and glitter shells weigh only 5.3g each.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/shanling-ae10-earphones-with-10-ba-drivers-photo-hero.jpg?v=1791374597\" alt=\"Shanling AE10 ten-driver earphones\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/shanling-ae10-earphones-with-10-ba-drivers-photo-tiles.jpg?v=1791374603\" alt=\"Shanling AE10 features at a glance\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShining stars: a VARTM shell\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach body is made entirely by VARTM (vacuum assisted resin transfer moulding), with a look inspired by the shining stars of the night sky: a carbon fibre overlay on a black resin base, mixed with electroplated glitter, under the gold lettering of the AE series.
