the Aëdle VK-1 Headphones

Paris based brand Aëdle create high-end audio accessories. It is their exquisitely handcrafted design of the VK-1 headphones that I am excited to share with you today. The VK-1 Classic Edition combines minimalistic and refined design with high-definition custom made titanium transducers. Aëdle’s co-founders, Raphaël Lebas de Lacour and Baptiste Sancho explain how they have been developing and optimising the VK-1 headphones for two years, which are set for a limited release in February of this year. In their own words : “Aëdle was born from our desire to make a pair of headphones with no compromise between sound quality and design. It was our chance to create something unique and concrete by using the latest audio technologies with traditional craftsmanship.” Aëdle have also designed a beautiful limited edition VK-1 carbon version, comprising black lambskin leather and pure black matte anodisation.
