The Craft of Titanium
Mika Sorensen
Head of Industrial Design

Titanium does not want to become a headphone. It resists the tools, dulls the bits, and demands patience most manufacturers are unwilling to spend. That resistance is exactly the point.
Strength without weight
Grade-5 titanium gives us the stiffness of steel at nearly half the mass. A stiffer frame means the acoustic chamber never flexes, so the driver plays into a stable, silent structure.
We chose the harder material so the sound could be easy.

Each yoke is machined from a solid billet over the course of forty minutes, then hand-finished. It is slow. It is deliberate. It lasts a lifetime.
