Founder of the brand, Frederik Jørgensen, explains that it is a “more versatile, cross-functional, and lightweight” model to join its roster. Visually, the headphones retain the [modular design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/overear-headphones1), allowing wearers to change the separate parts of the device. This includes the various earpads and speaker units, creating a fully custom and adaptable headphone that suits their needs. Additionally, it is also made with a sustainable mindset, using [recycled plastics and vegan leather](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bang-olufsen-beoplay-h100) applied to the ear cushions. The diaphragms are also made from bio-cellulose with the additional offer of a lifetime trade-in service program to send in old parts for future credit.
