In modern consumer culture, headsets have evolved beyond their original functions (e.g., music listening, calls, noise cancellation) into products with visual appeal and social symbolism. Young people express their individuality, aesthetic preferences, and lifestyles through their choice of headset brands, colors, and designs.
Inspired by the 1969 Realistic Nova 4, the WHIZZER 1969s blends fashion, retro aesthetics, and modern acoustic technology, harmonizing classic design with cutting-edge audio innovation to honor that vibrant golden era. Visually, it retains the Nova 4’s iconic 3D metal cavity panel, enhanced with modern surface treatments. Electrochemical machining (ECM) and traditional mechanical processing combine to create a unique retro-futuristic aesthetic.
Thanks to the inherent advantages of on-ear ear cushions and highly integrated internal components, the WHIZZER 1969s is significantly smaller than mainstream headsets, weighing only 135g. This avoids instability from being too light while reducing fatigue during extended wear, striking a perfect balance of lightweight design and comfort. Ideal as a fashion accessory for young users, it seamlessly integrates with various outfit styles while preserving its retro-futuristic charm.
Its proprietary anti-direct sound insulation mesh, lattice-style sound output holes, and internal acoustic structure based on dipole principles enhance sound isolation and soundstage control, overcoming the limitations of on-ear headsets in soundstage sealing and environmental noise isolation.
