— Four pillars

Engineered around the listener, not the spec sheet.

Every decision — from the beryllium driver geometry to the protein-leather cushion density — is in service of a single, simple thing: longer, more honest listening.

01 — Sound

A 40 mm beryllium driver that disappears.

Beryllium is stiffer and lighter than aluminum, which means the cone moves as one surface — even at the limits of human hearing. Less cone flex, less distortion, more of the recording.

Tuned in our Berlin reference room to a ±2 dB curve from 20 Hz to 22 kHz, with a measured THD of 0.04% at 1 kHz.

  • LDAC, aptX HD, AAC, SBC — full codec support for any source.
  • USB-C lossless — 24-bit / 96 kHz wired playback, no dongle required.
  • Dedicated DSP profile for podcasts, classical, and live recordings.

02 — Comfort

A fit that holds at hour one and hour twelve.

Clamp force is the most-felt, least-measured spec on a headphone. We tuned Halo Pro to 3.4 N — firm enough to seal, soft enough to forget.

Memory-foam cushions adapt to your head's geometry in minutes, then stay. Protein-leather is replaceable in seconds, no tools required.

  • 3.4 N clamp balanced across a 5-step adjustable headband.
  • 248 g total weight — light enough for transcontinental flights.
  • Replaceable cushions in protein-leather or breathable fabric mesh.

03 — Battery

Charge once a week. Fly once a month.

28 hours with adaptive noise control on, 40 with it off. Ten minutes on the charger buys you five more hours — enough for a flight from London to Athens.

The 1,200 mAh cell is rated for 1,000 full cycles before reaching 80% capacity, and is user-replaceable at any authorized service center.

  • 28h with ANC · 40h without · 200h standby.
  • 10 min = 5h quick charge over USB-C PD 3.0.
  • Qi 15 W wireless — drop, charge, go.

04 — Materials

Alu­minum, leather, fabric, and 32% recycled polymer.

Every gram is accounted for. The headband yoke is single-piece CNC aluminum. The cushions are sustainably tanned protein-leather. The polymer housings use 32% post-consumer recycled ABS, sourced from Northern Italy.

Modular by design: cushions, headband pad, and battery are all field-replaceable with a single Torx driver.

  • Aluminum yoke — single-piece CNC, sandblasted finish.
  • Protein leather — OEKO-TEX certified, REACH compliant.
  • Recycled ABS — 32% post-consumer content, virgin-grade finish.

"My 45-minute train is now the most enjoyable part of my day. The ANC adapts to the door closing without me touching anything. Battery lasts a full work week of commutes."

"Honest translation. I A/B'd mixes on these and my NS-10s and the decisions translated. Bass is tight, mids aren't scooped, the top has air without sibilance. Genuinely impressed."

"Flew 14 hours to Tokyo and arrived without the usual headphone fatigue. Clamp force is the secret — these don't fight you. The case is also the right size for a carry-on."

"The adaptive ANC is genuinely smarter than my old pair — it quiets the train without making the platform announcement sound weird. Knocked a star because the app is average."
