From the first day T+A elektroakustik designed Solitaire T, this flagship Bluetooth headphone was developed with a single goal in mind: to blur the distinctions between audiophile, working and travel portable audio.
What Hi-Fi? give Solitaire T 5 ⭐. T+A, Theorie und Anwendung (Theory and Application)’s, background of developing cutting-edge Hi-Fi is fully evident here.
The finest digital components from Qualcomm and ESS Technology ensure these noise-cancelling headphones deliver superb Bluetooth sound in any setting.
But on top of that, Solitaire T encompasses all kinds of listening as T+A envisioned: via Buetooth 5.1 and aptX™ Adaptive on the move, but with the ability to plug into your audiophile music players and DAC/amps via included balanced 4.4mm cable at a moment’s notice! [See Product Desc. For More]
With unassuming earcups packed with the bells and whistles you’d expect from an established German high-end manufacturer, Solitaire T makes its statement under its hood.
T+A built Qualcomm’s premium QCC5127 Bluetooth receiver into Solitaire T, and that in turn hands over D/A duties to ESS’ ES9218 DAC. With parts selection fitting of many music players it’s little wonder Solitaire T is a reference closed-back headphone – Bluetooth or not.
Moving to Solitaire T’s beating heart – a 42mm bio-cellulose driver – that moves copious amounts of air for bass quantity. T+A’s optimised low-bass system produces a completely new kind of bass in Bluetooth, ensuring perfect transient response and preventing disruptions in the frequency response from standing waves and phase cancellation.
With the stiffness of bio-cellulose but especially its damping at higher frequencies, Solitaire T’s driver never risks distortion due to cone or modal break-up as your music climbs into shorter wavelengths.
T+A’s exclusive driver is truly audiophile and full-range. That’s an important consideration given your ability to listen to Solitaire T with Bluetooth disconnected, switching instead to the supplied 4.4mm balanced cable for your Hi-Res Audio sources for full fidelity!
For a music empowerer, Solitaire T is amazingly still a lifestyle enabler. Four microphones – two for calls and another two for active noise-cancelling – keep you connected and only hearing what you want.
Solitaire T’s aluminium components scream teutonic precision. Machined from solid material, and are pearl-blasted before being anodised by T+A, the ear caps are attached by means of precision-made, close-tolerance hard metal couplings.
This is versatile quality that’s built to last, and ensure T+A accompanies you on the daily with the Solitaire T. After you’re done with this keeper, also view our other Bluetooth offerings here.
