Also using a dense hardwood&nbsp;enhances the low frequencies while smoothing upper frequency vibrations that cause the overly bright tones often found&nbsp;in mass produced, plastic housings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To top things off the<strong> DD-DXB-01.1<\/strong> now come with a built-in microphone which makes them perfect for use with smart-phones (iPhone\/Android) and also have a mute button on the lead which is makes it a touch easier to have a conversation without the need of removing your <strong>EarbuDDs<\/strong> (As <strong>DD\u00a0Audio<\/strong> call them).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hifihq.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/ear_bud1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"796\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/hifihq.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/ear_bud1-796x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hifihq.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/ear_bud1-796x1024.jpg 796w, https:\/\/hifihq.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/ear_bud1-233x300.jpg 233w, https:\/\/hifihq.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/ear_bud1-768x988.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hifihq.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/ear_bud1.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 796px) 100vw, 796px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Features<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Driver 8mm dynamic<br>Frequency Response 20Hz-20kHz<br>Impedance 16 Ohms<br>Magnet neo<br>Model DXB-1.1<br>Sensitivity 101 dB<br>Shipping Weight 1 pound<br>Type 8mm dynamic element<br>Built-in microphone<br>Mute button<br>Tangle resistant cloth cables<br>Natural hemp\u00a0fibre\u00a0carry bag<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hifihq.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/ear_bud4.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"687\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/hifihq.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/ear_bud4-687x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hifihq.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/ear_bud4-687x1024.jpg 687w, https:\/\/hifihq.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/ear_bud4-201x300.jpg 201w, https:\/\/hifihq.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/ear_bud4-768x1145.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hifihq.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/ear_bud4.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 687px) 100vw, 687px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the last month or so now I having been listening to A LOT of music on these <strong>EarbuDDs<\/strong> and and also the <strong>DD-DXB-01<\/strong>\u2018s too just so I can have a full comparison of the two units.
