RESPONSIBLE

DESIGN

Since the launch of our first headphones in 2010, we have been dedicated to responsible product design. We've come a long way and we are just getting started.

Longevity and modularity

Since 2010, beginning with the TMA-1 headphones, responsibility has been at the heart of our design philosophy. We create products with longevity and modularity in mind, allowing you to seamlessly upgrade as technology and your needs evolve, ultimately extending the lifetime of our products.

Responsible materials

We persistently innovate, utilizing superior materials like Alcantara® or vegan leather for ear cushions, and incorporating recycled materials into our speaker units and packaging. Our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint and minimizing waste contributes to a healthier planet.

Our commitment to responsible design helps prevent product obsolescence while minimizing environmental impact through carefully selected materials. Designed to last is our promise.

GIVING PRODUCTS

A SECOND LIFE

Through Remixed, we collaborate with you to extend our products' lifespan. Offering lifetime trade-ins and resales, we keep our products in circulation and reduce environmental impact. Join us in keeping your headphones playing.

Responsible materials

Recycled and durable plastics

By using recycled plastics, we reduce our demand for new raw materials, which means less extraction from the environment and lower energy usage. 

In 2021, we incorporated 30%-50% recycled plastics in our TMA-2 speaker units, and by 2023 we achieved 100% recycled, post-consumer plastics in our TMA-2 speaker units and UNIT-4 studio monitors.

Responsible packaging

Packaging with care

In 2020, we transformed our packaging using only recycled and recyclable materials, achieved Cradle-to-Cradle certification of the sleeve, and optimized the design for a smaller form factor, resulting in an 80% reduction of our CO2 footprint.
