Engineered in Antwerp.
Every strep. is designed, prototyped and tuned in a small studio by the Scheldt, by a team that would rather fix a problem than hide it.
From sketch to street, in four stages.
- 01
Sketch
It starts on paper, with the shape of a head and the weight of a commute, long before anything is built.
- 02
Prototype
Shells are printed, sanded and assembled in the studio, often several times in a single week.
- 03
Listen
Engineers, DJs and record collectors live with each prototype for weeks and tell us what still gets in the way.
- 04
Break
Then we try to ruin it, folding hinges, pulling cables and wearing cushions until something gives up.
Tested until it gives up.
Nothing leaves the studio until it has survived far more than a few years of everyday life would ever ask of it.
- Folds before a hinge is signed off
- 20,000
- Drops onto concrete, from every angle
- 1.5 m
- Of listening behind every tuning change
- 500 h
- Of spare parts after launch
- 10 yrs
Made to be opened.
Most headphones are glued shut, so a worn cushion or a tired battery ends their life. Ours are held together with screws, and every part can be ordered for at least ten years after launch.
- Ear cushions that click off and on
- A battery you can swap in minutes
- Screws instead of glue, everywhere
