Beryllium V3

Description
Applied Material Properties: Be
Beryllium is among the least dense stable metals, but also has among the highest Young’s modulus values (a ratio of the stiffness) and speed of sound.
This results in high efficiency and extremely low distortion as the diaphragm does not bend on its own, moves homogeneously, and dissipates internal energy very well.
This rare combination of performance attributes is what endows the Be IEM’s with their freakish ability to compete with the best Beryllium transducer-based headphones on the market, at any price.

Is there a measurement that demonstrates clarity?
Yes! A “waterfall plot” is one of the measurements our team performs when designing transducers, and acoustic systems in general.
Listening to a system that has a poor waterfall plot measurement is like wearing the wrong prescription glasses. Everything is out of focus.
Conversely, a system with a fantastic waterfall plot measurement is like 20/20 vision for your ears. Tremendous clarity.
Our proprietary 10mm Beryllium transducer has insane waterfall plot measurements:
How does a good waterfall plot improve the overall sound experience?
A favorable waterfall plot has a direct correlation with the perception of how ‘real’ something sounds, and the systems ability to accurately render the depth and breadth of a recording.

Description
Let It Be
Be (Beryllium) is our highest-awarded IEM. It is known as the master-of-all-music, failure-at-none. Our other IEMs may do better in some genres but for all-around excellence, Be is where most end their search. Revealing enough to be a true reference IEM but forgiving enough to use on any source.
Beryllium is among the lowest density stable metals but also has among the highest Young’s modulus values (a ratio of the stiffness) and a very high internal speed of sound.
This results in high efficiency and extremely low distortion as the diaphragm does not bend on its own, moves homogeneously, and dissipates internal energy very well.
This rare combination of performance attributes is what endows the Be IEMs with their freakish ability to compete with the best Beryllium transducer-based headphones on the market, at any price.

I See a Detachable Cable? What’s That About?
We have also developed our own 2.5mm jack: the IDEEL connector. This connector is the world’s smallest 2.5mm jack, measuring just 3.6mm across, and a tiny 9.5mm mounting depth. This jack allows us to use the very robust 2.5mm TS plug in our tiny IEMs. No more delicate MMCX or difficult 2 pin plastic connectors needed.

One word – stunning. Be is really natural sounding and never tiring or harsh. It just sounds right. Plenty of bottom end almost you can feel it like a great speaker setup but it’s not overblown and doesn’t overwhelm the midbass or midrange. No hint of distortion or noise. They seem clearer than the old V1s I had, I guess that’s the new plastic used. And I love the new connectors! It’s so easy and solid to connect and has lasted 8 months so far normally i get about 3 months from a set of mmcx connectors on a cable before they start failing and pulling off. Not these rock solid. Definitely worth the money I spent I use them every day.

I get why people rave about these. They come in a low-end package with sleeve and cardboard. Cool carry tin but weird color gold dunno why but it is. IEMs look really normal plain nothing special like so many. When I put them in they are ultra comfort for all day wear never hurt my ears. I guess old style design is still best lol. Sound is amazing. I have an LG V50 and these BE sound so good on that phone. Like I am in a room with a big stereo system but just on my self you know? Hard to describe but it just sound real and tight. Love them!

You’ve been listening to music with cotton balls in your ears until you’ve tried these IEMs!
The clarity and balance achieved from Beryllium V3s is astounding. I didn’t think Periodic Audio could surpass their original IEMs, but they have. If you’ve ever wanted to hear the hair growing on a conductor’s knuckles (I’m looking at you, Hans Zimmer!), now’s your chance!

OK, SICK. Got some of these last month and MAD bad sound. Just kick everything. Tight quick bass, clean mid, lots of treb without cuttin heads off. Pricy yeah but way better than my airpods. I use the pods now for calls and stuff but when I want to listen to music the Bes are the only way to go!
Johnny On The Spot –
VERY good audio from these! I have some more expensive units from Empire and Campfire, but I keep coming back to the Berylliums. They’re just more comfortable, really don’t give up any audio quality (even if they are balanced a bit different but so are the Empire and Campfire units) and easy to drive with my small Fiio player. I recently got the Neutron adapters too and they are great I can use the MMCX cables I have to get different experiences and change up the way the set wears and looks. Great overall value for just $249!
