QUAD-FORMER Technology: the planar magnetic driver is made of double magnets + double sides of coils on diaphragm + double coils on each sides of diaphragm. The coils are arranged with good balance on the diaphragm.
Double sides of coils means there is coil on each side of diaphragm. Double coils means there are two coils on each side of diaphragm, so there are totally 4 coils on the diaphragm, which makes the diaphragm do the same vibration for the same frequency. Double sides magnet provides the same magnetic power in the field.
It has excellent electroacoustic energy efficiency conversion, extremely low distortion, very good consistency and high ability for music reproduction.
Driver
After more than three years of experiments, the construction of this planar magnetic driver is designed with the best magnetic circuit and the best magnetic distance to balance the resonance.
The high internal damping base material in the composite diaphragm makes natural and soft vocal, as well as solid bass. The ultra-thin and high rigidity base material in charge of high frequency can extend the frequency to be 40KHz, making treble bright with clear details and ensuring the listening relaxed and comfortable.
Housing
The headphone housing cover is made by decoration steel mesh with sunlight design, where the headphone name Apollo comes from.The black and the nickel color steel mesh reflect each other with distinct layers, which can not only show a decorative aesthetic feeling, but also have a good effect of tuning the sound quality with the special arrangement of each hole.
The wood headphone housing is made by high quality rosewood. The process includes precise CNC carving, sanding, polishing, painting, natural drying etc. The wood housing surface is made by high glossy painting, which is very elegant and smooth.
Headband
The headband is made of goat skin. It is soft and wears comfortable.
The headband design is ergonomic. It wears light and there is no fatigue after long time wearing.
Earpad
The earpad is made of high protein materials and memory form, which is soft and comfortable.
The design of the earpad looks like bowl. It can be over the whole ears, and there is no pressure on the ear with this special design.
L & R marking is distinct and easy to identify.
The earpads are detachable, which can be replaced easily and conveniently.
Cable

Although the sonic presentation of any headphone is very important, making sure that the design doesn’t get in the way also matters.
With the Apollo, Sendy Audio made sure that the ergonomics and adjustments allow for a wide variety of head sizes and shapes. My only minor gripe was the flared-up earpads touching my ears at certain points in time.
Instead of aiming for a strictly neutral tonal balance, Sendy Audio opted to give the Apollo a more colored presentation with a tasteful v-shaped tilt all while maintaining a good amount of PRaT.
With a sonic presentation that’s both energetic and engaging the Apollo creates a listening experience far from reference but certainly enjoyable.
Lovers of an intimate, v-shaped sound need to check out the Apollo. Terrific looks, flawless construction, and sublime comfort make the Apollo a winner. These aren’t cans content with being indistinguishable from other mid-range planar headphones, either physically or sonically.
The Apollo carve out their own niche in the mid-range planar magnetic headphone market and will likely polarize listeners, depending on their personal sound preferences. As the market tends to move towards ‘safe’ tuning graphs, such as the Harman Curve, I find myself appreciating the outliers more and more.
