The personal choice of headphones depends equally on the individual sense of style and the wearing comfort alongside demands on sound quality. The goal of Porsche Design in designing the Space One over-ear headphones was to integrate innovative technical elements, including batteries, into a compact form. Simultaneously, the headphones had to also be attractive for those frequently on the go. The result is an aluminium housing with a clear, refined design and a soft sandblasted titanium finish. The headphones showcase a classic fork suspension of the hearing capsule as this construction best fulfils the targeted requirements. Underlining a strong sense of high quality and value, metal and leather materials have mainly been used. In addition, these headphones boast sophisticated and uncompromising hi-fi sound quality. Equipped with sound technology by KEF, they deliver a natural integrity sound quality with crisp high tones, rich midrange and tight bass. Complemented by innovative active noise cancelling technology, these headphones are highly suitable for daily outdoor use, allowing users the comfort to retreat into private sound spheres anywhere by eliminating external noises. Boasting compelling functionality, perfectly balanced proportions as well as a tactile quality of a warm and velvety feel, these headphones directly appeal to the senses for daily listening pleasure.
