Embark on an immersive auditory journey with our upcoming experimental headphone, a collaborative masterpiece in the making by USound and SALZ Design. Currently in progress, this innovative over-the-ear headphone is the result of a long lasting partnership, combining the cutting-edge technology of USound with the R&D competence of Salz. Our process involves extensive prototyping and concept engineering, ensuring that every detail is refined to meet the standards of professional audiophiles.

"An Orchestra for Your Ears"

There's a profound reason behind the assembly of an orchestra with its diverse array of instruments. To simplify it greatly: higher frequencies require different instruments than lower ones. Additionally, the materials utilised play a significant role in shaping the character and quality of sound.

We pondered: could we explore alternatives to predominantly using plastic and employing just one average driver to reproduce our favourite music? Delving into the acoustic properties of various materials such as ceramics, maple wood, or brass, we began blending them with traditional acoustic drivers for lower frequencies and ceramic piezo speakers renowned for their accuracy and brilliance for high frequencies.
