Appearance Design & Comfort & Accessories
The appearance design is nothing extraordinary, a CNC-machined aluminum alloy housing with well-controlled dimensions. The seam between the front and rear chambers is evenly finished. The panel bears TWISTURA’s signature black logo.
The fit is snug and comfortable, with no discomfort during extended wear. Stability and comfort are both quite relatively high.
Accessories include: storage case, 3 pairs of replacement nozzle, 3.5mm/4.4mm plugs, and 12 pairs of eartips.
Heaedphone Cable & Acoustic Configuration
The headphone cable integrates multiple materials, including oxygen-free copper (OFC), alloyed copper, silver-copper alloy, and graphene-coated copper. The cable is slightly thick but relatively soft, with minor self-coiling tendency.
The detachable cable system uses a 0.78mm 2-pin connector with standard protruding pins, making it compatible with other 2-pin earphones.
The Woodnote is equipped with a 10mm wooden diaphragm dynamic driver in a dual-magnet, dual-chamber structure. The dome is made of wood fiber, while the gasket uses a flexible material, combining the tonal characteristics of polymer and wood diaphragms. This design avoids excessive driving pressure and mitigates extreme high-frequency extension issues.
With an impedance of 18Ω and a sensitivity of 125dB/Vrms, it is easy to drive even on mobile devices. Pair it with neutral or slightly warm sources for great performance.
The Woodnote also features a quick-release nozzle system, allowing you to easily swap filters to suit your preference.
Sound Description of TWISTURA Woodnote
Bass: The quantity is average, with moderate thickness and fullness. The elasticity and extension are both excellent. The speed of attack and decay is moderate, retaining a slight reverberation. The atmosphere is lightly colored, and it does not feel too strong. The bass is very relaxed and natural.
Mids: The vocal distance is slightly close, with a moderate mouth size. For most vocals, it prioritizes texture over sharpness. The lines are relatively soft, with a certain thickness. There’s no obvious bias between male and female vocals. The graininess is noticeably polished, resulting in a relatively smooth sound. The tonality is slightly adjusted, leaning a bit warm. The vocal transparency is moderate, without any added brightness.
Treble: The brightness is moderate, with an overall thinness that avoids any harshness. The extension in the ultra-high frequency is quite good, and the roll-off is relatively slow.
Instruments: Most instruments prioritize texture over sharpness in their presentation. The thickness of violins, guitars, and violas is moderate, sounding very natural. The cello has a decent sense of body but comes across somewhat diffuse, occupying a slightly larger space.
The trumpet has moderate brightness without excessive energy. Woodwind instruments sound highly natural, with a moderate sense of airiness. Instrumental harmonics are fairly rich, though not overly prominent. The brightness of cymbals is controlled, avoiding any strong metallic or piercing qualities.
Soundstage: The edge clarity of the soundstage is not very high, the diffusion is strong, and the horizontal and vertical distances are not far. The separation between vocals and instruments is moderate, and the overall sense is very high. Resolution and dynamics are good, while transient response is average.
