The Origins of Xuanwu

Xuanwu, or the Black Tortoise (a.k.a. "Black Warrior"), is a Chinese constellation making up one of the Four Symbols of Chinese astronomy. Despite its English name, Xuanwu is usually depicted as a tortoise entwined together with a serpent. That's tortoise and serpent combined, with the tortoise's ability to be absolutely quiet and the serpent's ability to be absolutely swift. The combination of movement and stillness, yin and yang, and life and death becomes the Xuanwu, which dominates the northern sky and symbolizes winter, representing a new cycle of time and a harmonious universe balance. In the classic novel Journey to the West, Xuanwu was a king of the North with two generals serving under him, a "Tortoise General" and a "Serpent General". The tortoise and the serpent were thought to be spiritual creatures symbolizing longevity. Xuanwu has also become a symbol of immortality and eternity.

The "Unique" Square Planar Driver

Developed and manufactured by Bellsing, this distinctively new and exclusive 10mm square planar driver has excellent bass to midrange transient response. It incorporates the strengths of both dynamic drivers and conventional planar drivers. With TRN's custom balanced armature driver, the entire audio band is exceptionally well-balanced with an organic and transparent timbre, which is rare among true planar earphones.
