Exact published 11 mm ring driver diameter describes its outer ring, not a solid 11 mm diaphragm. Physical driver count per earbud was not explicitly found. The optional driver table is omitted because an uncounted row would derive a count of one. Diameter remains documented here rather than creating an unsupported derived count.
