Noninvasive Clip-on Headphones

The Conceptual 'Aura PEBL' Headphones Keep Ears Open

This makes them exceptional for commuters or those who work in open-concept offices who need to maintain their hearing as they go about their routine.

The conceptual 'Aura PEBL' headphones are packed with a 6mm driver in each unit to deliver exceptional feedback for any genre of music or audio type.
