NL25 ANC earbuds

Product Description

NL25 – earbuds for those who actually listen to music

Ready to enjoy a serenade in your ear canals? Forget the expensive "premium" earbuds from mega-corporations – the NL25 takes you to the heart of music without having to sell a kidney.

Shaped for your ears, tuned for your soul

The award-winning Jussi Timonen's design and sound guru Jasse Kesti's tuning make the NL25s the perfectly tuned wireless ear buddies. The new Qualcomm chipset is the foundation, but how these headphones actually sound is thanks to Jasse's personal tweaks. Every nuance, bass, and breath is polished by ear—not by algorithm.

Compact case – designed for real life

The wireless charging case is perfectly modeled after a pocket-friendly item, namely a snuff box, but it's even smaller: 55 mm in diameter. The perfect choice to take anywhere.

Natural sound insulation and noise-cancelling

The NL25 features Qualcomm's own noise-cancelling tech, and thanks to the snug fit, the sound stays in and the noise stays out. These Bluetooth earbuds work like earplugs—but with great sound.

Physical buttons. Seriously.

Because life is too short for touch controls, we put real buttons on the NL25. You can press them even with gloves on, without having to guess if you hit the "zone." You won't find this in many of the best earbuds.

Buy two products, save more

By the way, we've got a deal going on where you can snag the Nordell Micro speaker at a discount with the NL25. But we're not shouting this from the rooftops – you'll only find out if you bother to read this text.

Still having doubts?

If you're still not convinced of their awesomeness for some reason, check out Jasse's 10-minute intro on YouTube: NL25 intro video.

What on earth is a noise-cancelling headphone?

In this video, Jasse "Jazmanaut" Kesti explains what noise cancellation is all about.

Note! The video tests VMK25 headphones, which have slightly better noise cancellation than the VMK20 model.

Great products without the extra baggage*

Did you know that almost all headphone electronics come from a few giants?

Everything else is just smoke and mirrors.

A small manufacturer like Valco can use the same high-end components as the well-known mega-corporations in their more expensive models.

We just don't have a thousand employees, a skyscraper in Manhattan, or a CEO (yet) with a private jet to support. This allows us to offer you the best price-performance ratio on the market.

And what happens after you buy? Our customer service and Valco's own maintenance ensure that our products last – and if you want variety, you can trade in your old Valcos with us. Try that elsewhere.

In the end, what matters is why we do this. We sell headphones to get money for our Death Star to achieve galactic domination.

Headphone FAQ

More answers to various questions can be found here.

Do these have a built-in microphone?

Yes, they do. All VMK series headphones have a built-in hands-free microphone that allows for calls and boring Teams meetings.

Are these suitable for gaming?

If you're playing single-player games, why not. But Bluetooth still isn't very good for wireless gaming headsets. If you want to use the VMK headphones for gaming, it's worth buying the wired microphone thingy, so you'll have excellent noise-cancelling headphones for gaming as well.

How do Valco headphones differ from competitors' headphones?

Our headphones offer excellent sound quality, long battery life, and they are as comfortable as a feather pillow. And best of all, they are designed in Finland. By buying Valco headphones, you can be sure that your money mostly goes to the Finnish taxman.

While the headphones don't radically differ from others (besides being excellent value for money), our customer service is something you won't get elsewhere. Can you send other branded headphones for service after the warranty period?

Of course, the biggest difference between us and others is that we are real people. The money you give us honestly goes to beer, child support, big gold watches, and sports cars. Or at least what's left after the Finnish taxman takes his cut.

Unlike our competitors like [Big Japanese or Korean conglomerate], [World's largest American corporation], and [Big German microphone factory], you can always reach Valco's entrepreneurs and even go for a beer with them. Many have done it, even from abroad.

Try that with [Megacorporation].

Do Valco headphones have a warranty?

Of course! We believe in our products so much that we give them a two-year full warranty (which is more comprehensive than others). If the fault is clearly ours, we'll help even after the warranty period with headphone issues. And don't worry about the warranty ending – unlike other headphone manufacturers, we have our own service. If you encounter problems, we're here to help. But don't worry, Valco headphones are as reliable as Finnish sisu!

What is the difference between the VMK20 and VMK25 models besides the price?

Both headphones have top-notch Bluetooth connections and sound quality that will make you dance. The VMK25 is just a bit better. Its construction is sturdier, the materials are more expensive, and it has a new type of noise cancellation and new headphone elements. However, both headphones are totally worth the money.
