Volk Audio

“While some were guessing about the follow-up to Etoile and the direction the tuning would take, Volk Audio surprised everyone by partnering with Astell & Kern on a collab release, Stella.

I found Stella to have a very large, open soundstage with 3D-level holographic imaging. It had a deep sub-bass rumble, fast, tight, punchy, tastefully elevated mid-bass, natural, detailed mids, and crisp, airy, and quite resolving treble.”

One year on. ÉTOILE continues to impress.

"My introduction to Volk Audio via the Etoile has been a thoroughly enjoyable experience. It truly is a unique and fantastically executed tuning that you won't find just anywhere, and I can easily recommend it as a one-and-done for anyone looking for a kilobuck that's equal parts musical and technical."

"Not sure if it was the intention, but the Étoile matches the color scheme of Epaulettes. Here are a few pics to prove that.

The Étoile is truly Captain's choice 🫡👍"

“If you're looking for an IEM where you can just press play, it disappears, and it's all about your music, the STELLA is one of the best ones out there for it.”
