The earcups feature touch-sensitive aluminum discs with a stunning gradient effect, produced using a proprietary anodization technique developed by Bang & Olufsen.

There is a subtle protrusion on the rear of each cushion, which conforms to the shape of the user’s head, enhancing comfort and eliminating sound leakage.

This padding is covered with a high-quality bamboo fiber textile, which was chosen for its durability and breathability.
