VMK25
Premium noise cancelling headphones with 50h+ battery life
About this product
You'd think there's no way to improve on great. The VMK20 had sold tens of thousands of pairs and received near-universal praise — but improvement never stops.
We listened carefully to VMK20 feedback and built a bigger sibling: the VMK25. New 45 mm composite drivers deliver even better sound quality. A completely new ANC circuit, paired with thick memory-foam cushions.
As a fun detail, the VMK25 features magnetically attached swappable shells (skins), so you can change the look whenever you feel like it.
VMK25
Still available second-hand with full warranty service from Valco's store.
