Nordell Max Speaker

$198.00

Nordell Max

Walls will hum

80 watts and a subwoofer. Notifying the neighbours is up to you.

A big speaker, no apologies

A speaker for the yard, the cabin and the sauna anteroom, not for your pocket. 80 watts, its own subwoofer and a battery that lasts up to 12 hours.

What is this? Valco's biggest Bluetooth speaker. 80 watts, 23 × 11 × 10.5 cm and about 1.9 kilos. This is not a pocket speaker. It sits on the table and the neighbours hear it whether you asked them to or not.

Splashes allowed. IPX6 protection handles splashes in the yard, the sauna anteroom and a wet bathroom floor. It does not go swimming. The big buttons work with thick gloves on.

The battery lasts. Up to 12 hours at moderate volume with the LEDs off. The battery is big enough to charge your phone too. Raimo Valconen still does not recommend using it to start a diesel Mercedes on a frosty morning.

Two beats one. Pair two Maxes as TWS stereo and the noise doubles. Want something smaller? See the Mk3 and the Micro.

PS. 14-day home trial, 2-year warranty and free shipping.

Nordell Mk3 Bluetooth Speaker

$117.00

Nordell Mk3

Hot tub, sauna, job site

Big buttons, a carry loop and a microphone. Works with gloves on.

A small workhorse, big sound

Metal, silicone and a carry loop. Grab it for the hot tub, the job site or a friend's backpack. It plays for up to 15 hours.

What is this? A Bluetooth speaker with a metal and silicone body. 202.5 × 61 × 78 mm and about half a kilo. Made for the job site, the sauna, the hot tub and the trail. Or under your desk, if that suits you better.

Water is fine. IPX7 protection handles water. In Valco's own YouTube test it also survives urine, which is a remarkably specific requirement. The big buttons work with gloves on, and the carry loop hangs it from a backpack.

Battery. Up to 15 hours at 50 percent volume and at least 8 hours at full blast. USB-C charging, 5200 mAh.

Stereo and calls. Two Mk3s pair as TWS stereo. The built-in microphone handles calls, and the 3D button tricks your ears into hearing more speakers than there are. Whether it works depends on the ears.

Honestly. The body is not entirely our design, but we have improved the sound ourselves.

PS. 14-day home trial, 2-year warranty and free shipping.

Nordell Micro Bluetooth Speaker

$47.00

Nordell Micro

Three colours, one loop

Black, grey or pink. Hangs from your belt or your neck.

Small, spicy, splash-proof

A speaker the size of a bar of soap. It hangs from your belt, shrugs off splashes and plays from a microSD card when the phone is elsewhere.

What is this? A small Bluetooth speaker, 10 × 8 × 4.5 cm and about 200 grams. Take it to the beach, the sauna, the job site and barbecues where the only sound system is a friend's phone.

Built for life. IPX6 protection handles water and sweat. The rubber back stops it sliding, and the loop hangs it from your belt. It does not go swimming.

The battery is small. 3–6 hours depending on volume. A bigger battery would make a bigger speaker, and then it would no longer be this one. Charging takes 1–2 hours.

One or two. One Micro plays in mono. Two pair as TWS stereo. A card slot plays MP3 files if the phone stays at home.

Honestly. The body comes from China. The sound is tuned in Finland.

PS. 14-day home trial, 2-year warranty and free shipping.

NL25 ANC earbuds

$198.00

NL25

Real buttons, small case

Physical buttons work with gloves on, and the case fits in a pocket.

Earbuds with real buttons

Each earbud weighs about 5 grams. A button switches between noise cancelling and transparency, and the case fits in a pocket in place of a snuff tin.

What are these? Wireless earbuds with active noise cancelling, transparency mode and physical buttons. Jussi Timonen shaped them and Jasse Kesti tuned the sound by ear, not by algorithm. Inside is a Qualcomm QCC30XX chip and 10 mm hybrid drivers: a dynamic driver for bass and a balanced armature for the high frequencies.

Buttons you can actually hit. You can press them with gloves on, even in the rain. The same button switches between noise cancelling and transparency. No guessing where the touch area is.

Noise cancelling needs a tight fit. Several sizes of silicone and memory foam tips come in the box. Pick the ones that stay in your ear and seal, because noise cancelling works best with a tight fit.

Battery, honestly. You get over 6 hours without noise cancelling and about 4.5 hours with it. The case charges the earbuds four times, for up to 17 hours in total, and the case also charges wirelessly. At 55 mm across, it is smaller than a snuff tin.

For everyday life. Multipoint keeps your phone and laptop connected at the same time. IPX4 protection handles splashes, and the hands-free microphones take care of calls.

PS. "Best earbuds" is a claim every manufacturer makes, so we won't. If someone makes the same features for less, buy those.

The best noise-cancelling headphones you can afford

Valco VMK25.2: Kesthouse tuning, effective ANC and a 55-hour battery for roughly half the price of the big brands. 2-year warranty and service until the end of time. 199 €.

Half the price, a two-year warranty.

The VMK25.2: a 55-hour battery, spare pads and repair. About half the price of the equivalent big-brand headphones.

What makes the Valco VMK25.2 special is that we've combined top-tier components, a touch of Finnish design and Kesthouse's more than 20 years of experience in mastering music and polishing sound.

The result is a balanced, accurate and pleasant sound, effective noise cancelling and a 55-hour battery life.

And all of this at roughly half the price of equivalent headphones from the big brands.

We dare to claim that the VMK25.2 offers exceptional value for money and one of the best listening experiences in its class.

And you don't have to take our word for it. Read the reviews or ask our customers. They say the same.

Unlike our competitors, we also care about what happens to the headphones after you've given us your money.

You get a full two-year warranty, replacement pads and a repair service practically until the end of the world. That's why most of the Valco headphones we've ever sold are still in use.

And on top of everything, our headphones are, of course, properly greenwashed.

VMK25.2 Noise Cancelling Headphones

$234.00

VMK25.2

Inflation is a choice

New on the inside, familiar on the outside. The price stayed the same because we decided so.

New inside, familiar outside

The VMK25 was a hit, but the cheaper VMK15 was accidentally more advanced. Order had to be restored: the VMK25.2 has a new Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 chip, up to 55 hours of battery and hybrid noise cancelling.

What changed? The insides. A new Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 system chip brings better sound quality, a more stable Bluetooth (5.4, aptX Lossless and Adaptive) and smarter power management. We didn't touch the looks, because new injection moulds cost a fortune. The money we saved went into components.

A battery you forget about. Up to 55 hours with noise cancelling on. That covers a flight from Helsinki to Australia, back, and the train ride home. USB-C charges it fully in 2–3 hours, and a 3.5 mm cable is in the box in case the battery runs out anyway.

Noise cancelling and transparency. Active hybrid noise cancelling takes the edge off open offices and aircraft rumble. Transparency mode is there because you asked for it. The indicator LEDs are hidden inside the cups, because headphones don't need to be a disco ball.

Change the colour. Magnetic covers come off and swap in a second. Pick one to match your mood, or your need to annoy the neighbours.

PS. We take old Valcos in trade-in. You get a discount on the new pair, and the old headphones get a second life.
