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.

So many many many...

For so many many many years we have bought Valco products. Last one was the Nordell MK3 speaker and we are super happy with it although both packages, the outer and the inner, were damaged in the delivery but the speaker was ok. Sound is a lot better than what we expected and we use the speaker a lot.

Had a campaign for for 50e off when gibing back old model in exchange. Had a discussion where I got the understanding that it would also be okay to send the old ones when new arrive and get the 50e when old headphones was cheked. After purchase I got email that this was not possible and offered a 50e giftcard to their shop. Othewise everything went great and I am happy with the product. Also this was a bit special ask and understandable mistake.

My kind of headphones!

Fit, feel and sound are great - what more can I ask. Well, the battery life is amazing and once I managed the damage product (fell from the hights beyond reasonable) - Valco offers full repair service at reasonable cost.

VMK-25 headphones are absolutely…

VMK-25 headphones are absolutely fantastic in soundquality and improved ANC. The feedback while on the phone talking was that my sound (speech) was hard to hear. Perhaps the mic is not in the right place (I complained to Valco and they confirmed that it is a question of mic placement.. ok). Also (haven't tried this yet) according to the user guide, if you plug the 3.5mm to the phones, that disables the mic. Why? I used that a lot with VMK-20? Anyway, VMK-25 is superior in design, durability and sound quality. Please allow us to have the mic without the extra mic on those and redirect the inbuilt mic and we have a perfect product. Well done Valco! Well done :)

Thanks for the review! Plugging in the aux-cable makes the headphones "passive", as it resets the bluetooth chipset. ANC still works. If you have any problems, send a message to info@valco.fi, and we'll help you!
