Achieving sufficient driving power for flagship headphones is no trivial feat. The "Ultra" in W2 Ultra is not just about momentary peak specs on a datasheet—it's about sustained, stable, and true driving capability.
Six major upgrades from the original W2 make this possible:
Unlike standard products that rely on EQ or digital filters to tailor a fixed sound, LP employs both waveform analysis and auditory evaluation to develop two distinct sound signatures.
You can easily switch between them:
TUNE01: Offers a wider, airier presentation, ideal for vocals and human voice-centric tracks.
TUNE02: Provides precision and control, ideal for symphonic works or complex arrangements.
The W2 Ultra outputs up to 890mW at 32Ω, while maintaining low noise floor and excellent time-domain accuracy. Even with ±6V mode activated, power consumption was measured at only around 4% battery drain per hour on a smartphone.
Thanks to LP's advanced copper shielding, thermal treatment methods, and power-efficient circuit design, high output no longer means high power drain. The result is a reference-grade sound—pure, clean, and free of harshness.
With an extremely low THD+N of approximately -92dB, the W2 Ultra delivers crystal-clear and immersive sound with delicate nuance.
The W2 Ultra refines the classic LP tuning philosophy using dual CS43131 DAC chips.
It offers a zero-noise, ultra-clean sound even when paired with sensitive low-impedance IEMs or under high output loads. Precision engineering eliminates unwanted noise while enabling rich, expressive playback.
A variety of preset EQs and IEM-focused tuning options are available to suit all preferences.
LP's engineers researched the relationship between amp voltage and driver sensitivity. The result:
SDF-Optimized Models Include:
SONY: IER-M9, IER-Z1R
SENNHEISER: IE600, IE900, IE800S, HD800
beyerdynamic: Xelento Remote
SHURE: SE846
AKG: N5005
FOCAL: Utopia
Oriolus: Traillii Ti
Sustained high-power output requires robust thermal management.
The W2 Ultra features a custom-designed heat sink that efficiently dissipates heat from the DAC and amp chips. The entire layout—including circuit, wiring, power, capacitors, and amp modules—was redesigned to ensure long-term, stable output beyond peak measurements.
Weighing just 26g, the W2 Ultra achieves ultimate compactness without compromise.
A detachable Type-C cable allows flexibility and compatibility with LP's upgrade cables and other high-quality options in varying lengths and materials.
Only a single ALPS rotary knob is present—offering precise volume control with tactile feedback and stylish simplicity.
Beyond music, the W2 Ultra supports EQs optimized for movies and gaming.
Switchable UAC1.0/UAC2.0 modes ensure compatibility with home gaming consoles and more, delivering fast, clean audio performance across all media.
3.5mm: PO and SPDIF
4.4mm: Balanced PO
The professional-grade LP SPDIF OUT ensures stable and high-quality digital output.
