French audio company is a US$ 50 made-to-order customization option on its latest
offering. It will offer the buyers to choose between several warm lambskin
leathers sourced from the south of France and cool aluminum options.
In terms of technical specs, the headphones feature
Bluetooth 4.2 connectivity, 24-bit DSP/DAC high-resolution audio, AptX and LDAC
compatibility, USB-C charging, and active noise canceling technology.

plans to launch the VK-X wireless headphone in November this year, but the
company has launched a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo for those looking to
get their hands on it early. Those who pre-order on the crowdfunding platform
will also get a massive discount of close to fifty percent. Only a limited
quantity of 1000 units are up for grabs, available on first come, first serve
