    The Ugly Duckling of headphones

    Upon a close examination of Advar's chassis, people found one small detail that caught their attention and intrigued them: the serial number. Starting with the word UGLY, that tiny name engraved on the chassis is actually a meaningful metaphor to us.When designing headphones, it’s hard to convince everyone of your vision right from the start. Back in 2018, when Antonio started working on this project, it looked like this:  Even our team didn’t believe in their potential an...

    Creating the Phoenix

Now, we’re always looking to build something innovative, whether we’re ta...

High churches with hand-sculpted heavy fir or oak poles and shingle roofs, traditional h...
