Product description

Admittedly, sitting on the terrace in nothing but noise cancelling headphones and your underwear is the highest form of existence. Unfortunately, the neighbours, the doorman or your mother-in-law may demand something a bit more civilised covering the upper body. For that reason we have brought this miracle of the textile industry to market.

Why do you need this?

The shirt is like a silent protest, with a massive "Cancel Some Noise" print across the back. It's a civilised way of telling whoever's whining behind you: "Sod off, I'm listening to music."

On the chest there's a subtle Valco logo. It's like a Masonic handshake that signals to others at the top of the audio caste that you don't settle for supermarket headphones.

Built to last, with a 4-layer collar and reinforced seams. This shirt will survive several festival weekends and the occasional time you have to leave the house.

This shirt is a Slim Fit cut. It's designed for people with either a tight body or extreme self-confidence.

So buy at least one size up from what you think you are. If you think you're an L, your reality is an XL. If you're being honest with yourself and like "a bit of room", go two sizes up. We don't want the shirt to look like a sausage skin on you, although that is also a kind of fashion choice.

Put it on, switch on ANC and enjoy the fact that you don't have to listen to anyone.

Slim Fit cut

Designed for people who either have a great body or excellent self-confidence. The rest of us go up a size or two. We don't want your shirt to look like a sausage casing, although that is technically a fashion choice too.

Don't take our word for it. Take theirs.

We could tell you how great we are, but that would be a bit suspicious. So we'll let our customers do the talking instead. Reviews are real. Not every product has enough reviews yet, but the ones that do show up first. Photos are taken by customers themselves, and unfortunately it shows.

The best shirt you can afford

The best shirt you can afford

There's a hierarchy in the audio world. At the top sit the people who know why vinyl beats Spotify, but also know better than to bring it up at the dinner table. They recognise each other by small signs. A certain brand of headphones on the living room table. The way someone talks about dynamic range. The quiet smirk when somebody compliments Japanese supermarket headphones.

The problem is, you can't spot these people on the street.

That's why the Cancel Some Noise t-shirt exists.

On the front, a discreet Valco logo. It doesn't beg for attention, but a fellow believer clocks it immediately. Like a nod from the other side of the metro platform. A secret society handshake without the physical contact, which would be uncomfortable anyway.

On the back, a massive 'Cancel Some Noise' print. This isn't a subtle hint, it's a protest. This is for when someone behind you on the bus is loudly explaining why they picked that particular lunch spot, and you'd like to politely communicate that you can't take a single second more.

The shirt doesn't say any of this to you. It just stands silently on your side, like a good advisor.

Great products without the dead weight*

Did you know that almost all the electronics inside headphones come from a handful of giants?

Everything else is just smoke and sales talk.

A small maker like Valco can use the exact same top-tier components as the famous mega-corporations stick in their pricier models.

We just don't have a thousand employees to feed, a Manhattan skyscraper to pay for, or a CEO with a private jet (yet).

Which is why we can give you the best bang-for-buck on the market.

And what happens after you've bought? Our customer service and Valco's in-house repair team make sure our products last. And if you fancy a change, you can trade your old Valcos back in to us. Try doing that anywhere else.

At the end of the day, the point of all this is simple. We sell headphones to fund our own Death Star, so we can rule the galaxy.

FAQ

More answers to all sorts of questions over here.

What's the cut?

Slim Fit. That means two things: it's designed to sit snug, and you should order at least one size up from what you'd grab on instinct. If you think of yourself as an L, reality is XL. If you're being honest with yourself, go two sizes up.

What does "Cancel Some Noise" mean?

On headphones, noise cancelling means active noise cancellation (ANC). This is the same thing in textile form. A massive "Cancel Some Noise" print across the back, which is a civilised way of telling the people whining behind you to piss off, I'm in the middle of a song.

Does this work for women?

Works for anyone with a head and arms. The arms aren't really mandatory either. A Slim Fit cut sits differently on different bodies, so regardless of gender the same rule applies: go bigger than you think.

Does the print survive washing?

Yes, as long as you don't run it at 90°C. 40°C inside out and the print will last a long time. Don't iron directly over the print. The shirt itself is built to last: 4-layer collar and reinforced seams.

Can I wear this with headphones on?

We actually recommend it. You get both passive and active noise cancellation: the shirt communicates with your surroundings, the headphones handle the actual silence part. A combo that works both for your ears and for negotiations with the people around you.
