How your plan works
How your plan works
- £0 today. We check your card to make sure it works — no charge, no deposit, no credit check.
- Your first payment comes out on the payday you pick, then equal payments every week until it’s paid off.
- We order your item brand-new from an authorised UK retailer after your final payment and ship it within 20 business days.
- Cancel anytime — free in your first 14 days. After that we keep 20% of what you’ve paid, capped at £100 — never more than you have paid.
- No credit check — everyone can start a plan, because layaway isn’t credit.
For travellers who want hi-fi sound on the move and a single pair that works on a plane, at a desk and plugged into a computer as a DAC. Closed-back wireless over-ears with active noise cancelling and a wired USB-C mode that bypasses Bluetooth entirely.
What you get
- USB-DAC mode over USB-C, so a laptop sends a full-resolution digital signal straight to the headphones instead of a compressed Bluetooth stream.
- 30 hours over Bluetooth, 35 hours on the 3.5mm jack and 42 hours in USB-DAC mode, so the way you listen determines how often you charge.
- 15 minutes of charging returns about 5 hours of playback, so a stopover is enough to see you through the next leg.
- 40mm aluminium/magnesium 'M'-shaped dome drivers, so the diaphragm stays rigid and treble stays clean instead of hardening at volume.
- Distortion under 0.2% at 1kHz across 15Hz to 22kHz, so detail holds up when you push the volume against cabin noise.
- Three noise cancelling modes — Silent, Soft and Transparent, so you can hear a boarding announcement without taking them off.
- Eight microphones, so calls stay intelligible in a noisy terminal.
- Supplied hard case, so they survive being packed in hand luggage.

How do biweekly payments work?
How do biweekly payments work?
You pay nothing today. We check your card without charging it, then £15 a week comes out — timed to your payday. The price you see is the total you’ll ever pay. No deposit, no interest, and no extra fees for paying on time.
When do I get my item?
When do I get my item?
After your final payment. We order your item brand-new from an authorised UK retailer and ship it to you free within 20 business days of payoff. Waiting is what keeps the price at sticker — you never pay more for paying over time.
Can I pay it off early?
Can I pay it off early?
Yes, anytime — and it's free. Pay off your balance early and we order and ship your item sooner.

Is this credit?
Is this credit?
No. Layaway isn't credit — there's no credit check, no interest, and nothing is reported to credit reference agencies. You simply pay for your item over time, and we ship it once it's paid off.
Your card details go straight to Stripe — we never see or store them. Every payment you make is tracked in your account and refundable under our cancellation policy.
