I recently shopped at a Valco store and I’m really impressed! They have a fantastic variety of headphones with a top quality, so there’s something for everyone.

Written by the company

Valco is a Finnish headphone and audio company. We make noise cancelling headphones, wireless earbuds, and Bluetooth speakers that are designed to be repaired, not replaced. In an industry where most products are built to last exactly until the warranty expires, we offer a repair service that works even after warranty. If your headphones break, we fix them. If you sit on them drunk, we fix them. If your dog chews the headband, we fix them. Our product range includes the VMK25.2 wireless ANC headphones with interchangeable magnetic covers, the VMK15 noise cancelling earbuds, NL25 wireless earbuds, and Nordell Bluetooth speakers. All our headphones use Qualcomm top of the line chipsets and audio tuning is done by famous sound engineer Jasse Kesti, who uses high-end reference headphones as his benchmark rather than whatever the competition is doing. The result is studio-level sound quality at a price that does not require you to sell a kidney. Our company name comes from a spectacularly failed government-funded TV tube factory from the 1970s that burned through a billion Finnish marks of taxpayer money before collapsing. We kept the name as a reminder of what happens when politicians try to run a business. We are a small indie company making headphones, speakers, and funding a Death Star one purchase at a time. Unlike large corporations, our CEO actually answers emails and has been known to go out for a beer with customers. Free shipping on all orders. 30-day returns. Repair service available throughout the product lifecycle. Every purchase funds 0.000001% of our Death Star. Thank you for your service.

Valco VMK20 headphones

I bought Valco VMK20 headphones and been using them for about a week now.

Sound quality excellent. I have to re-listen a lot of music just for better experience. Amazing how much more you get out of a piece of music with better headphones!

Noise-cancelling works beautifully.

Only negative, I have a small head and to be honest, I wouldn't mind if the handle would be just a little bit shorter. This is a big problem I have with almost every pair of headphones I have tried. These are not the worst fit, but not perfect either. Still decided to keep these. I don't think I can listen music with poorer sound quality anymore.

Dear Valco, you have spoiled me. Thank you.
PS. Make your headphones smaller for tiny heads like me, please.

You want good headphones? Look no further

I bought the VMK25 in June '24 because I had long looked for really good headphones with a clear and professional sound. And that's exactly what I got!! Tongue in cheek marketing mixed with truly exemplary headphones! No muffled bass frequencies, very clear details across the spectrum and the clearest Pan I've ever heard. I don't know how they do it, but I've noticed NEW stuff in songs I've listened to a thousand times before. And the battery life is almost ridiculously good. Truly enjoyable and affordable headphones, quick delivery and great service!

Headphones birthday present

The headphones were a birthday present from my parents. Best I've ever had. Great sound and super comfortable.
10/10 I recommend buying them!
A while later I got another little envelope from the company that contained a birthday note from my parents, a letter to apologize for the hassle (there was no hassle in my opinion) and delicious Finnish sweets!
10/10 excellent customer service!

Value for money

Nice sound, very robust, very good storage case, good price/ quality ratio, fit very well on theears and do not squeeze, effective suppression of counter noise = anti- noise control

Very bad battery!

The Nordell MK3 looks great, sounds great... but has 2 big issues:
- the battery has a super short life span, like 3-4 hours
- the Bluetooth pairing is not really optimal: to connect from one device to another you will have to disconnect the Bluetooth from the device itself, otherwise it won't change.
