Williams Sound EAR 022 Surround Earphone
Monaural Clip-On Earphone for Personal Listening Systems
The Williams Sound EAR 022 is a single-sided, clip-on surround earphone designed for personal listening devices. It is well suited to assistive listening, presentations, educational environments, meetings, and other applications where a user needs a stable and lightweight personal audio solution.
The around-ear speaker hangs outside the ear, while the surrounding clip helps maintain stability and comfort during extended listening. A 23 mm driver provides a 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response, 118 dB sensitivity at 1 kHz, and a nominal impedance of 32 ohms.
The EAR 022 connects through a 3.5 mm monaural plug and includes a 39-inch cable. It is recommended for use with FM receivers and select infrared receivers, making it a practical accessory for compatible Williams Sound personal listening and assistive listening systems.
This earphone is designed for individuals with mild and low-gain hearing loss. Its open, outside-the-ear design can also be useful in environments where the listener does not want an earbud positioned inside the ear canal.
