Sound Quality

Hear what was always there.

The Apex Pro's 40mm planar-adjacent drivers deliver a soundstage so wide, you'll rediscover albums you've heard a thousand times. Dual-layer diaphragms separate bass, mid, and treble with surgical precision — no bleed, no compromise.

  • Frequency response: 10 Hz – 40 kHz
  • Hybrid ANC: up to −42 dB attenuation
  • Hi-Res Audio certified · LDAC & aptX Adaptive

Comfort

Wear them all day. Forget you're wearing them.

At 268g, the Apex Pro is lighter than a paperback novel. Memory-foam cushions wrapped in perforated protein leather conform to your ear shape in minutes. The self-adjusting headband distributes pressure across 14 contact points.


Battery Life

48 hours. One charge.

The Apex Pro's dual-cell architecture delivers 48 hours of ANC-on playback — or 72 hours with ANC off. A 15-minute quick charge via USB-C gives you 6 hours of listening. Wireless charging is included on every finish.


Materials

Built to last a decade.

Every component is chosen for longevity. The aerospace-grade alloy headband flexes without fatigue. Replaceable cushions and detachable cables mean the Apex Pro grows with you — not into a landfill.

"The ANC on these is genuinely shocking. I commute on the subway every day and I can finally hear my music at a reasonable volume. The sound quality is miles ahead of anything I've tried at this price."

"I use these for reference listening in my home studio. The flat response mode in the app is genuinely useful — I can trust what I'm hearing. The soundstage is wider than most closed-backs I've owned."

"Flew London to Singapore and wore these the entire flight. Comfort held up for 13 hours straight. Call quality is excellent — my team said I sounded clearer than on my office headset. Docking one star only because the app could be more intuitive."

"I'm on video calls 6 hours a day. The mic array is incredible — it cuts out keyboard noise and background AC hum completely. My colleagues keep asking what headset I'm using. Worth every penny."

"I've owned headphones at twice this price that don't sound this good. The LDAC connection is rock solid and the detail retrieval in the mids is exceptional. The Champagne Dusk finish looks stunning in person."

"The battery life is not a marketing claim — I genuinely got 46 hours before my first charge. The fold mechanism is satisfying and the case fits in my backpack side pocket. These are my forever headphones."

Commute

"The Apex Pro redefines what's possible at the sub-$400 tier. Auralite has built a flagship killer."

SoundWave Quarterly

"Best ANC headphones of the year. The comfort alone justifies the price — the sound quality is a bonus."

The Listener's Guide

"Auralite has done something remarkable: made a headphone that audiophiles and commuters both love."

Cushion replacements are available separately and are designed to last 2+ years with regular use.
Yes. You can use the Apex Pro via the included 3.5mm cable while charging over USB-C. Wireless charging is passive — the headphones must be placed on a Qi pad and are not wearable during wireless charging. USB-C charging supports pass-through audio simultaneously.
Yes. Replacement cushions are available in three materials: standard protein leather ($29/pair), perforated protein leather ($34/pair), and memory foam velour ($39/pair). They attach magnetically and can be swapped in under 30 seconds. One spare pair of standard cushions is included with every Apex Pro purchase.
The Ivory Linen finish uses a UV-resistant matte coating that resists minor scuffs and fingerprints. The cushions on this finish use a light-grey protein leather that is treated with an antimicrobial coating. We recommend occasional cleaning with a slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid alcohol-based cleaners on the cushions.
