Well I’m more the age of mr Watanabe than of his children, but this all is anyhow more and more intriguing, isn’t it ? That said, mr Watanabe also decided to deliver some of his competence in form of earphones, targeting young users – young like his children – aiming to convey (in his own words) “ the good sound of Japan“.

Rotate his company name “ozeid” (or even better its web domain name “o2aid”) by 180°. The owner and key developer mr Yoshiyuki Watanabe has 35+ years of experience on devices and applications that use piezoelectric materials. Its main business is actually not manufacturing, but consulting. Intime Acoustic is a brand owned by Ozeid Co., Ltd., a quite young (2016-founded) Takasaki City (JPN) based company. Intrigued by the question I recently conceded myself a go at a couple of other Made-in-Japan models, one of which is what I’m talking about today.

Is that a unique case, or maybe a tendency – a sort of “regional school” ? Is final’s attitude – and hopefully good result – common to other Japanese audio manufacturers? First of all about their sound delivery, of course, but also about the technological effort they endure on their development, and share in good details with their customers. Well, you know: I do have a passion for final’s IEMs.
