"I can say with certainty that I found Maven III to be a finetuned version of their Maven II. It feels like UM revisited every aspect of Maven II sound tuning and adjusted it in a more natural, musical direction without losing the original hi-res essence that made Maven II so popular. Also, it almost felt like the Maven III tuning took a slight turn toward Mest’s direction, which I found to be quite satisfying!"

Unique Melody UM Maven III – Twister6 Reviews

Titanium and moon in harmony, the return of the "Edge" series

Maven has long been regarded as the undisputed flagship of UM's "Titanium Force" mid-range lineup. Unlike the MEST series, which serves a similar price segment, Maven's design philosophy focuses on utilizing mature, well-thought-out technologies to achieve a more avant-garde sound character. 

Accordingly, every product in the Maven series is based on titanium as the main material. 
Starting with the Maven II Moonshard, the series drew its creative inspiration from the moon, a celestial body that is both familiar and mysterious to us. 

From surface finishing techniques to our interpretation of sound, the imagery of the moon shard is woven with the inherent character of titanium.

From brilliant highs to pop favorite – the sonic evolution of the Maven trilogy

Looking back at the first two generations of Maven, we took completely different sonic directions.

The original Maven used the most advanced architecture of its time with exclusively symmetrical armatures, tuned to a bright, treble-emphasized sound with a distinct Japanese character. Its crisp, lush sound reproduction led to strong sales abroad and made it a personal classic in the hearts of many enthusiasts.

With the Maven II Moonshard, we expanded our boundaries towards the common hybrid combination of dynamic, balanced armature, and electrostatic drivers, tuning the result into a balanced product with rich musicality and hi-fi character. Its sound is lively and dynamic, especially suitable for pop vocal playback, earning it the title "the fashionable favorite of pop music."

Upon its release, it received widespread recognition from enthusiasts both domestically and abroad. Although the edition was limited to 799 units, customer inquiries continued long after it sold out – a clear testament to its appeal.

What new sonic approach does the third generation, the Maven III, bring?

Building on the past, pushing the boundaries of sound – the bold leap of the Maven III

Achieving a breakthrough on the shoulders of the already mature and highly successful Maven II is undoubtedly a great challenge.

Based on extensive development experience gained from our bone conduction and Maven product lines, the UM team has long mastered the art of integrating bone conduction technology with metal chambers and developing the ideal cavity structure that allows the bone conduction driver to seamlessly fit into the titanium housing.

Regarding the driver configuration, the Maven III combines a hybrid architecture of dynamic, balanced armature, electrostatic, and bone conduction drivers, making it the structurally most complex product in the Maven series to date.

The first impression the Maven III leaves is like looking at the night sky after a rain shower: wide open and refreshingly clear. The sound is transparent and crisp, faithfully reproducing every detail and texture of the music, with each note rendered with remarkably clear definition.

Close behind are the rolling bass range and the exceptional dynamics produced by the independent dual dynamic drivers, transforming this openness before the eyes into an exhilarating feeling of grandeur within.

Through this vivid contrast between highs and lows, we present a V-shaped tuning that is considered a true industry benchmark. The Maven III clearly proves one thing: UM, and only UM, can give the traditionally "aggressive" V-shaped signature an unprecedented musicality.

The Maven III features a completely new shell made by 3D printing from a titanium alloy. The cool metallic feel of titanium is combined with geometric, mechanical surface structures, forming an industrial design language that is instantly recognizable. The three-dimensional patterns reveal a layered depth under light and convey a sense of order and strength.

A central totem motif interacts with the surrounding engravings, 
Creates a balance between strict form and refined craftsmanship and 
Combines futurism and craftsmanship.

The metal surface preserves the raw, polished character of titanium itself, with matte and engraved layers creating a distinct contrast – strict and restrained yet full of tension.
