About the Audiofly AF120
Nailing the first impression
Nailing the first impression
You can often judge a company's attention to detail by how they package their product. Australian-based headphone maker Audiofly takes great care with their presentation. Their AF120 in-ear headphones arrived on my desk in a beautiful cloth-wrapped case. I opened the magnet-sealed box and found the earbuds tastefully displayed along with a neat-looking canvas carrying wallet.
Inside the wallet, extra ear tips ensured I'd find a comfortable fit. There are nine pairs in all — three sizes of dome-shaped silicone gel tips, three sizes of tri-flange silicone tips, and three sizes of Comply™ memory foam tips. I chose a pair of the foam tips, which created a tight seal that helped keep noise out.
Clear, detailed sound both on-stage and on the go
They'd won me over with looks, but these monitor-style headphones proved they can perform, too. The AF120s tackle the highs, lows, and everything in between using both a balanced armature driver and 9mm dynamic driver in each earpiece. While they're primarily designed for musicians on stage, I enjoyed the relaxed, crisp sound as I plowed through a Rolling Stones playlist on TIDAL.
On "Fingerprint File," the earbuds effortlessly handled all the different sounds and riffs making up the song's funky fabric. I'd heard it sound like a mess on lesser in-ear 'phones, but the AF120s did an incredible job of sorting out the guitars, synths, pedals, and vocals. The headphones' un-flavored sound signature helped underscore the cohesiveness of the song, even as everyone in the band seemed to be doing their own thing.
Durable, braided cable
You'll notice the AF120 headphone cable wraps around the ear — the same type of headphone fit you may have seen on musicians and TV personalities. The idea is to keep the monitor's cord out of a performer's face, but it's just as useful when you're out and about or relaxing. The cords are tightly woven from each earpiece and meet at a heavy-duty plastic Y-splitter. From there, a braided fabric cable takes over for rugged protection. Even if you never actually go on tour, you'll have headphones that can handle the rough-and-tumble road life.

Features
Overview: The Audiofly AF120 in-ear monitors are designed for the professional musician and serious listeners. These high quality earphones, designed in Australia, are equipped with hybrid dual drivers with a crossover for greater detail. The AF120s come in Roadie Black with 9 pairs of ear tips, 1/4-inch and airline adapters, and a canvas storage wallet.
Dual Drivers: The AF120s feature two driver technologies: a 9mm dynamic driver and a balanced armature driver for each ear. A passive crossover splits the audio signal and routes it to the appropriate driver. This design delivers solid lows with detailed mids and highs.
Audioflex SL Cable: The headphones have a 5' twisted Audioflex SL cable that is able to withstand the rigors of everyday listening. Near the ear tips, the cable is tightly twisted, but slender -- only 1/16 of an inch thick. From the heavy duty splitter to the right-angled 3.5mm gold-plated plug, the cable is wrapped with tough Cordura fabric which helps keep it from tangling and eliminates contact noise.
Ear Tip Selection: The AF120s come with nine pairs of ear tips and a moldable over-ear cable guide to tailor your fit. You can choose from dome silicon tips, tri-flange silicon tips, and Comply Premium Earphone tips with memory foam, each in small, medium, and large sizes.
Included Accessories: The AF120s come with the following accessories:
- Airline Adapter: This adapter lets you use your in-ear monitors for in-flight entertainment. It has a female 3.5mm jack and dual male 3.5mm plugs.
- 1/4" Adapter: The 3.5mm-to-1/4" adapter lets you use your AF120s with your home audio components and other devices with a full-sized headphone output.
- Cleaning Tool: Keeping your in-ear monitors clean is essential in maintaining performance. The tool features a brush on one end and a wire loop for removing debris from inside the ear tips.
- Canvas Storage Wallet: This high-quality case includes a crush-proof, foam padded compartment with an elastic pouch to keep extra ear tips and airline adapter. Elastic loops are provided for storing the cleaning tool and 1/4" adapter. The wallet has a soft suede-like lining, a sturdy canvas cover, and an elastic strap closure.
