AAW ASH Hybrid Universal In-Ear Monitor

Woofer

Thirteen Millimetres of Graphene

At the heart of ASH sits a 13 mm dynamic driver with a graphene diaphragm, which AAW calls an industry first: generous in size, yet thin on a nanometre scale. Its midrange is full, rich and textured, so AAW lets it carry the lower mids as well as the bass.

Beneath them lies a sub-bass that is powerful yet natural, of a kind no all-armature design can give.

Crossover

Four Ways, One Arrival

Six balanced armatures take over from the upper midrange: two for the mid-highs, four for the highest frequencies, for clear detail in the voice and treble. The treble extension is held in check, so the top stays easy over long sessions.

AAW’s TrueXross joins them without a high-order RC network, which can shift phase and scramble arrival times. A physical low-pass filter keeps the woofer to its own band, with minimal overlap with the armatures, and careful driver placement and a stainless steel acoustic bore bring the four ways to the ear together.

Tiburon Cable Included

ASH comes with our Tiburon cable, 1.2 m long with 0.78 mm 2-pin connectors. Choose the player plug when you order: 2.5 mm or 4.4 mm balanced, or 3.5 mm single-ended.

The sockets are standard 2-pin, so ASH also takes any of our 2-pin upgrade cables.

ASH vs AXH

Two AAW hybrids on the same 4-way TrueXross crossover. ASH has seven drivers, a 13 mm graphene woofer and a tuning for bass lovers; AXH has five drivers, a 10 mm woofer and a more balanced voice.

Good IEM

Deep Bass more detail thanks Null audio

Excellent sound for those who want detail

These earphones are very different from the previous ones I had (triple fi 10 with extra driver turned into customs). The bass is definitely there and sounds really good but it isn't over-emphasized. As usual in this world of people interested in audio, it is hard to come up with the words to describe audio... so I don't mean to sound pretentious or to throw random adjectives around, but I will just describe the sound of these IEMs as "very high-quality, precise, and refined without being showy." In other words, where the triple fi 10 gave you plenty of bass and you went "wow!" but then realized that the bass was unrealistic and muffled other elements of the song, ASH doesn't blow your mind at first but then you find yourself smiling or closing your eyes to enjoy the great presentation of high quality sounds all over the spectrum. Drums especially sound fantastic. The combination of the hi-hat and the bass drum is just really really cool! It demonstrates that ASH can present lows and highs without shyness and keeping the quality. Granted, there are some songs in which the sharpness of the cymbals may be a little too intense. But overall, these are really enjoyable earphones and you know for sure they have great quality capable of revealing everything about your recordings and audio player. Feed them good sources on a good player and you will surely get to know your music in a more profound, intimate, and clear way, give them low-quality content and you will surely feel the need to get better files. Highly recommended!

ASH Universal In-Ear Monitor

Item never arrived

Lol I never got my headphones it's been a year now

CHEATERS - Poor product, poor service, didnot come with all accessories

I ordered B-stock ASH & AXH IEMs at 30% discount, which has an MSRP of USD 799 & USD 449 respectively.
1.) While switching the ear tips on the very first day, the stainless mesh on ASH came out. Instead of replacing the IEM piece, they initially offered sending a few stainless meshes, which never arrived.
2.) During A-B comparison, I was astonished to find that there was "absolutely no difference" in the soundstage of ASH (13mm Graphene Driver + 6 x Balanced Armature Driver with Symphonym Tiburon Cable) and AXH (10mm Dynamic Driver + 4 x Balanced Armature Driver with Null Audio Lune Series Detachable Cable).
3.) I then compared with my 20 years old $100 Sony MDR-7506. Apart from lower volume due to higher (63) impedance, again there was no difference.
4.) To be completely unbiased & rule out issues with my hearings, I did blind test with my two daughters. They both have undergone over a decade of Classical Vocal training, play flute, keyboard, and listen to various genre of music like Jazz, Hip hop, K-Pop, Pop, Blues, Rock, Symphonies, etc. Even they couldn't find any significant difference among the 3 IEMs/ headphones.
5.) When I requested to return one of the IEMs, they refused to accept returns inspite of their 14 days return policy.
6.) The 2 IEMs did not come with the Flight or 1/4" adapter, as it is mentioned on their site. When I asked for it, they politely agreed but never fulfilled their promise inspite of 4-5 reminders.

I definitely Do Not recommend their product or their service. Just a bunch of liars & sweet talkers.

It is explicitly stated on the B stock sales page All sales are final, no return or exchange is accepted.
We are sorry to hear that you could not hear any difference between the multiple IEM and headphones, however, that is not our problem.

ASH Universal In-Ear Monitor

Which Cable for ASH? Many thanks

Null Audio

default cable is Tibuton MKI, a handcrafted pure copper cable.

Good afternoon! Is it possible to replace the usual plug on the ordered headphones with a 2.5 balanced one .. and is it possible to evaluate the sent package in a slightly smaller amount of money ..?And how to do it when ordering ...?

Null Audio

Sure, default cable of ASH UIEM is Tiburon. It supports 2.5mm balanced connector. Please place order online and leave a note request for "change cable connector to 2.5mm balanced".

Please drop us an email (support@null-audio.com) to indicate the value for shipment.

Hello,
Could you help me with one question? im thinking about buying ash iem and it has tiburon cable on stock. I already have my own tiburon cable. Is it possible to pay more and order more expensive cable (hakone for example) instead of tiburon?
Thank you in advance

Null Audio

Yes. When you order an IEM you can upgrade its included cable and pay the difference between the two cables' regular prices. Email sales@null-audio.com before ordering.

Questions

Good to know

What is the driver configuration?

Seven drivers: a 13 mm graphene dynamic driver for the bass and lower midrange, two mid-high balanced armatures and four super-high balanced armatures, joined by AAW’s 4-way TrueXross crossover.

What is TrueXross?

AAW’s crossover for hybrid monitors. Instead of a high-order RC network, which can shift phase and scramble arrival times, a physical low-pass filter keeps the dynamic driver to its own band, with minimal overlap with the armatures. With careful driver placement and the acoustic bore design, the result is better coherence and timing between the drivers.

How does ASH sound?

Tuned for listeners who love bass: powerful yet natural sub-bass, clear detail in the voice and treble, and a controlled top end that stays easy over long sessions, with a stage AAW likens to a pair of full-size headphones. The graph above shows its response.

Who is ASH for?

Musicians in a band, emerging artists and worship teams, and anyone who wants a deep, full low end without giving up detail in the voice and treble.

Which cable fits ASH?

ASH has 0.78 mm 2-pin sockets. Choose Standard 2-pin (0.78 mm) on any of our cables; see the AAW cable guide.

Is there a custom version of ASH?

Yes. ASH Custom has the same seven drivers in shells made from your ear impressions; see how to order custom IEMs.

What warranty and returns apply?

ASH has a 1-year warranty on the monitors and the cable. Unused universal IEMs in their original packaging can be returned within 14 days of confirmed delivery, with a 30% restocking fee. See shipping and returns.

Do you ship worldwide?

Yes. Most countries get free shipping by EPAC, and FedEx Priority is free on orders of USD 250 or more. In Singapore you can also pick up from our studio at 76 Playfair Road.
