Anatomy of quiet

Foam that forgets the train.

Slow-recovery foam under a knitted jersey seals around glasses and keeps 20 dB out before a single chip switches on.

drivers

Forty millimetres, tuned for 2 a.m.

Bio-cellulose cones stay clean at whisper volume, so you never turn up just to hear the detail.

Lighter than the letter it came in.

Spring steel inside, knit outside. 248 g on your head, and sliders that click once and stay put.

Every part of the headphones laid out on a grid with six small screws
repair

Every part comes off. On purpose.

Cushions twist off, the band unclips, the cell slides out with one screw. We ship spares for ten years.
