MS4 Quad-Driver Design
The MS4 features a four-driver all-balanced armature configuration, maximizing the high-resolution characteristics of BA technology. This architecture delivers exceptional detail retrieval and pinpoint imaging accuracy, bringing out every subtle nuance in the soundstage. Centered on clarity and precision, the MS4 faithfully reproduces each musical element, aligning with its tuning philosophy that emphasizes high definition and accurate spatial positioning.
A Must-Have for Monitoring – Balanced and Precise
A well-balanced three-frequency sound signature is often favored by audiophiles for its versatility and fidelity—clean and uncolored like pure spring water. Such tuning not only accurately restores the original sound but also leaves room for personal customization through cable or source pairing. For audio professionals working on stage or in the studio, a monitor with even frequency response and precise imaging is essential. Designed with these needs in mind, Motivate Ears meticulously developed the MS4 to meet the demands of critical monitoring and high-fidelity listening.
The MS4 is engineered with balance at its core, delivering the full spectrum of detail required in professional-grade monitors. Instruments and vocals are clearly articulated with rich layering and well-defined texture. Each sound element is proportionately placed within the mix, supported by a precise soundstage that enables effortless left-right spatial recognition. The MS4 delivers detail without exaggeration, ensuring nothing is lost and nothing is artificially emphasized—making it a powerful tool for both professionals and discerning listeners.
Optimal Pairing: Silver-Plated Copper Cable
For optimal performance, we recommend pairing the MS4 with silver-plated copper cables. While pure copper cables offer warmth and body, and pure silver excels in high-frequency extension and resolution, silver-plated copper blends the strengths of both materials to achieve the perfect tonal balance. This hybrid construction mitigates the shortcomings of each individual metal and enhances overall sonic performance.
Given the MS4’s focus on balance and precision, it requires a cable that can reveal subtle details without disrupting the natural tonal harmony. Motivate Ears selected silver-plated copper cables specifically during the tuning process to ensure the ideal synergy between detail retrieval and musicality. The result is a finely tuned listening experience that brings out the best of the MS4—accurate, engaging, and true to the source.
Define Your Sound, Starting with the Cable
Motivate Ears' MS Custom Series does not include a stock cable, giving you the freedom to choose your ideal connection. We believe that cables are the soul of sound quality, and every audiophile has unique listening preferences. By selecting and upgrading your cable, you can finely tune the sound, discovering the style that suits you best.
The MS Series embraces a minimalist design that returns to the essentials, inviting you to explore the limitless possibilities of sound quality — starting with the cable. Whether you seek precise resolution, warm tonal character, or dynamic performance, this earphone serves as the starting point of your sonic journey.
Define your sound, starting with the cable, and experience the pure joy of listening.

Our Vision
At Motivate Ears, we believe sound is more than what you hear — it is the purest extension of a creator’s inner world.
Founded by a team of musicians and sound designers from the School of Theatre and Entertainment Arts at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, Motivate Ears exists to empower creators with tools that go beyond technical excellence. Our headphones are designed not merely for superior audio, but to create a personalized sound environment where ideas are heard clearly and inspiration flows freely.
We see headphones not just as a utility, but as a creative companion — one that understands the sensitivity and precision required during the artistic process. Every product we make is crafted to minimize distractions and maximize focus, allowing artists to fully immerse themselves in their craft.
"Motivate Ears" is more than a name — it's a philosophy. We stand for making music heard and keeping creative dreams alive. That is, and always will be, our driving force.
Our Mission
Motivate Ears began with a simple yet powerful goal: to create a pair of headphones truly built for music creators.
As artists and backstage crew ourselves, we’ve faced the same challenges — seeking headphones that deliver professional-grade sound, offer long-term comfort, and remain financially accessible. The market lacked a solution that balanced all three. So we decided to build our own.
From acoustic tuning to ergonomic design, every detail has been developed and refined through hands-on experimentation and direct feedback from fellow creators. Our mission is clear: to craft headphones that creators not only trust, but genuinely enjoy using in their daily workflow. Reliable, refined, and reasonably priced — without compromising on quality.
The name Motivate Ears reflects our dual ambition: to awaken the listener’s senses, and to spark the creator’s imagination. Every pair we produce is a statement of our dedication to sound, and a tribute to those who dare to create.
