Soundline Arc
Quiet, by design.
Wireless over-ear headphones with adaptive noise cancelling and a 60-hour battery.
Design
Machined, not moulded.
The yokes and caps start as solid blocks of aluminium and are cut to shape, then bead-blasted and anodised. The weight sits low and close to your head, so 268 grams feels like less.

Inside
Seven layers, one sound.
Take an Arc apart and every layer has a job, from the foam against your ear to the light on the cap.
Sound
Big sound, small cone.
A 40 mm driver with a beryllium-coated dome: stiff enough not to flex, light enough to stop the moment a note does. Bass you feel, highs that don't hiss.
The soundtrack is made live in your browser, and builds as you scroll. Watch the driver move with the bass.
Noise cancelling
Turn the world down.
Six microphones hear the room around you, and the Arc chip plays back its exact opposite. Keep scrolling to switch it on, and listen to the train go quiet.
Noise reduction0 dB
Battery
0hours.
A week of commutes on one charge, with noise cancelling on. Ten minutes on USB-C gives you five more hours.
Colours
Four finishes. Graphite.
Drag the headphones to turn them round.
Soundline Arc
Yours, quietly.
