Why it's different

Flat isn't boring. It's honest.

01
No hyped low endMost "studio" monitors flatter the bass. The M1 doesn't — so you mix the track, not the speaker.
02
Reads the roomA rear DSP trim adapts the response to wall distance, so it stays flat in a real room.
03
Detail at low volumeWaveguide-loaded tweeter keeps imaging tight even at late-night levels.

Everything else

Pairing guide

Hold the right earcup for four seconds until the indicator alternates. The headphones remember eight devices and switch between the last two automatically, so a phone and a laptop can both stay connected.

60-day trial

Wear them for two months. If they are not for you, we pay the return shipping and refund in full, including the pads if you replaced them.

Warranty

Two years on everything, five on the drivers. Out of warranty we still sell every part separately, down to the headband screws, because a dead cable should not end a pair of headphones.

Shipping

Free within the US, two to four business days. We ship to Canada and the UK at cost.
