Turn the city down.
Warm as a late Karoo afternoon, quiet as the drive home.
What's inside
Details
Built quiet, from the cup out.
A bead-blasted aluminium cup, a steel slider that clicks into eight positions, and a knit canopy that weighs less than a teaspoon of sugar. Six microphones listen to the room so you don't have to.

"I took the 06:10 MyCiTi to town and genuinely forgot I was on a bus. The Ember looks even better in person."
"Sixty hours is not marketing. I charged it on a Sunday and again the following Sunday, load-shedding and all."
"Swapped to the L cushions for my glasses. Thirty seconds, no tools, no pressure points after a full workday."
"The southeaster is gone. My neighbour's generator is gone. I wish the case were a little smaller, that's all."
"Comfortable enough to sleep on a red-eye to Joburg. The Cobalt gets compliments at every boarding gate."
"Returned my previous pair within the 30 nights to try these. Not sending these back."

How fast is delivery?
Free courier delivery anywhere in South Africa: 1–2 working days to metros, 2–4 to regional towns. Orders before 14:00 leave the same day.
What if they're not for me?
You have 30 nights. If they don't earn their place, we collect them free of charge and refund you in full.
Which cushion fit should I pick?
M suits most people. Choose L if you wear glasses or like more space around your ears, and S if you want a closer seal for running. The cushions are magnetic and every size is sold separately later.
How long does the battery really last?
60 hours with noise cancelling on, 80 with it off. Ten minutes on USB-C gives you six hours, which is handy before a stage-6 evening.
Can I connect two devices?
Yes. Multipoint keeps your laptop and phone paired at the same time, and the One switches to whichever starts playing.
What does the warranty cover?
Two years against manufacturing faults, repaired in our Cape Town workshop. Batteries are replaceable for life at cost.
