Aëdle VK-X



French audio brand Aëdle might have been in the business for less than a decade but their range of high-end headphones have been critically acclaimed for both design and audio quality. The company that describes itself as the makers of ‘travel instruments’ has finally added a wireless headphone to its product range. 

The new Aëdle VK-X wireless noise cancelling headphones build upon the company’s brilliant VK-1; however; the 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. 

Aëdle 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 basis, with a starting price of US$ 325. The headphones will eventually retail for US$ 650.
