The Power of Bone Conduction

Bone conduction redefines audio with cutting-edge technology. No in-ear insertion—sound transmits directly through skull bones, keeping you aware of surroundings for safety. Lightweight and secure, it stays stable during workouts without discomfort. Clear sound, ergonomic design, perfect for commuting, sports, and office. A smart blend of innovation and comfort, unlocking a freer way to listen.

Acoustic Architecture

True excellent sound quality never comes from the solitary efforts of a single driver, but rather the harmonious coexistence of different drivers such as dynamic, moving iron, and electrostatic drivers, which collide to create an auditory feast beyond imagination. The dynamic driver brings a warm and mellow sound, carrying the fullness and atmosphere of low frequencies. Every dive of the low frequencies is steady and powerful, restoring the most authentic warmth of the sound. The moving iron driver is precise and delicate, unlocking the clarity and resolution of mid-to-high frequencies. The breath of vocals and the overtones of instruments are clearly distinguishable, bidding farewell to blurriness and turbidity. The electrostatic driver brings out every detail, fully extending the high frequencies, creating an ethereal and transparent sound that is not harsh, allowing every sound detail to be gently captured.

From Brilliant Highs to Pop Darling, the Sonic Evolution of the Maven Trilogy

Looking back at the first two generations of Maven, we pursued strikingly different sonic directions.
The original Maven employed the most refined all-balanced-armature architecture of its time, tuned to deliver a bright, top-end-forward, distinctly Japanese-flavored signature. Its crisp, lush presentation earned strong sales overseas and made it a personal classic in the hearts of many enthusiasts.
With Maven II Moonshard, we expanded our boundaries into the mainstream hybrid combination of dynamic, balanced armature, and electrostatic drivers, tuning the result into a balanced piece rich in musicality and Hi-Fi character. Its sound is vivid and lively, particularly adept at rendering pop vocals, earning it the title of “the fashionable darling of pop music.” Upon release, it received broad acclaim from enthusiasts at home and abroad. Despite being limited to 799 units, customer inquiries continued long after it sold out, a clear testament to its appeal.
So what fresh sonic statement does the third generation, Maven III, bring?

Titanium and Moon in Harmony, the Edge Returns

Maven has long stood as the undisputed flagship of UM’s mid-tier “Titanium Force” lineup. Unlike the MEST series, which occupies a similar price segment, Maven’s design philosophy leans toward leveraging mature, well-refined technologies to deliver a more avant-garde sonic identity. Accordingly, every product in the Maven series is built around titanium as its primary material. Beginning with Maven II Moonshard, the series has drawn its creative inspiration from the Moon, a celestial body both familiar and mysterious to us. From surface finishing techniques to our interpretation of sound, the imagery of the moonshard is woven together with the inherent character of titanium.

Building on the Past, Breaking the Boundaries of Sound, the Bold Leap of Maven III

Pursuing a breakthrough on the shoulders of the already mature and highly successful Maven II is, without question, a serious challenge. Drawing on extensive development experience accumulated across our bone conduction and Maven lineups, the UM team has long mastered the art of integrating bone conduction technology with metal chambers, engineering the ideal cavity structure that allows the bone conduction driver to nest seamlessly within the titanium housing. In terms of driver configuration, Maven III brings together a hybrid architecture of dynamic, balanced armature, electrostatic, and bone conduction drivers, making it the most structurally complex product in the Maven series to date.
The first impression Maven III leaves is much like gazing up at the night sky after the rain, wide open and refreshingly
clear. The sound is transparent and articulate, faithfully reproducing every detail and texture in the music, with every note rendered in remarkably defined contour. Following close behind is the surging low end and exceptional dynamics delivered by the independent dual dynamic drivers, transforming that openness before the eyes into a sweeping sense of grandeur within. Through this vivid contrast between highs and lows, we present a V-shape tuning that stands as a true industry benchmark. Maven III proves one thing definitively: UM, and only UM, can imbue the traditionally “aggressive” V-shape signature with unparalleled musicality.
Maven III features an all-new 3D-printed titanium alloy shell. The cool metallic feel of titanium is paired with geometric, mechanical surface textures, forming an industrial visual language that is instantly recognizable. The three-dimensional patterns reveal layered depth under light, projecting a sense of order and strength.
