JUZEAR Nimbus gives you a physical way to adjust its sound balance: swap the tuning nozzle by hand. AV Watch reports that Mimisola launched the wired earphones in Japan on September 30, with three nozzle options and a USB-C DAC included.

Red I’d try all three nozzles on a favorite game OST track. I want to find the balance that makes me hit replay.
AIKO Does the USB-C adapter pass the microphone signal through too? I’d want that answer before joining voice chat.
What changes when you swap the nozzle?
The nozzles can be exchanged without tools. The manufacturer describes three different tuning directions:
- White: a balanced, soft and smooth presentation.
- Red: a brighter, more open presentation.
- Black: reduced treble, making the bass more prominent.
The Black nozzle changes the balance by attenuating treble; it does not electronically boost the bass. These are the maker’s sound descriptions, rather than listening-test results.
Blue glass and a chrome-plated metal shell
The Transparent Blue finish pairs a colored glass faceplate with a CNC-machined, chrome-plated zinc-alloy housing. Each earpiece weighs 9.2g and contains a single 10mm MACCD composite-diaphragm dynamic driver.
The manufacturer also claims up to 26dB of passive sound isolation. That is passive isolation, not active noise cancellation.
The USB-C adapter helps with music—but what about the mic?
The included silver-plated copper cable has 0.78mm two-pin earphone connectors, a microphone and a 3.5mm plug. AV Watch describes voice chat and video calls using this mic cable.
For music over USB-C, the package includes a DAC built around the CX31993 chip. The manufacturer lists support for audio up to 32-bit/384kHz, and AV Watch reports that the adapter can also be used with other 3.5mm earphones.
A phone that outputs digital audio through USB-C needs a suitable DAC to connect these earphones. The supplied adapter simplifies that music connection, but compatibility with every device and operating system is not guaranteed. Microphone input through the adapter is not established either, so check that specific connection before relying on it for USB voice chat or calls.
