01 — Sound
Music, placed.
Not piped.
Most headphones put the band inside your head. HALO One puts it around you. Nine-axis head tracking pins every instrument to a point in the room — turn your head and the drummer stays exactly where he was.
−48dB
02 — Silence
Quiet you
can feel.
Four microphones listen to the world. The Halo Ring answers with its exact opposite — tuned to the shape of your ear every time you put them on. The rest of the room simply leaves.
03 — Power
Sixty hours.
Ten minutes for eleven more.
One charge is roughly a fortnight of commuting. When it isn’t, ten minutes on USB-C buys you a transatlantic flight’s worth of music.

“I A/B’d them against my reference cans for a week. The imaging is uncanny — vocals sit exactly where I panned them, and the cancelling doesn’t leave that pressure in your ears.”
“Fourteen hours to Singapore. I forgot they were on my head.”
“The cushions swap in ten seconds. Finally somebody thought about year three.”
“Sixty hours is not marketing. I charged them once in October.”
“Head tracking sounds gimmicky until you take them off. Then you miss it.”

Pre-orders ship from 19 November 2026, in the order they were placed. Signal launch-edition units go first. You’ll get a tracking link the day yours leaves the warehouse.
A fully refundable $50 deposit. The balance is only charged when your order ships, at the launch price you locked in — $449, against $529 on the shelf.
Yes to both. Multipoint pairs three devices at once. LDAC and aptX Adaptive are available on Android, and head-tracked spatial audio works on every platform.
Cushions, headband pad, battery and cables are all user-replaceable. A T5 driver and a spare set of cushions come in the box, and every part stays on sale for at least five years.
You have 45 days to live with them. If they’re not the best headphones you’ve owned, send them back for a full refund — shipping is on us, both ways.
Yes. A 3.5 mm cable and USB-C audio are both supported, and noise cancelling stays on while wired. Flat battery? Plug in and keep listening.
