Bisque

Sound, beautifully made

01 / 06

On-ear, not over-ear. The cup sits on the ear, so the headband stays thin.

The object

A bisque polycarbonate shell, anodised rose gold rings, and a sand-coloured headband. That is the whole object.

Anodised rose gold ringTurned edge, 52 mm across the cup

Pressure-balanced cushionSits on the ear, not around it

One-piece sand headbandA single arm, no visible fasteners

Sound

Forty millimetres, close to the ear.

Deep, controlled bass
The seal comes from cushion pressure rather than clamp force.
Detailed mids
Voices sit forward, where an on-ear cup places them naturally.
Clear, open highs
The cup is vented, so the top end has somewhere to go.

Comfort

Made for long listening.

The cushion is soft enough to sit on the ear for an hour without pressure building at one point. The headband carries the rest of the weight across the top of the head.

Materials

Three materials. Nothing else.
