VMK25 ANC Headphones
IN MEMORIAM: VMK25 (2022–2025) VMK25 was more than just a headphone. It was a phenomenon. It proved to doubters that a small Finnish company could make world-class noise-cancelling headphones that were good enough even for Megadeth.
It served thousands of ears faithfully, blocked millions of hours of useless noise, and funded the buns in our coffee room (as well as the Death Star building fund).
But time is ruthless, even to legends. VMK25 production has ended, and the model has retired to Audio-Valhalla. Before long, it will be a collector's rarity.
Do not cry, however, for the King's legacy lives on stronger than ever. The new VMK25.2 is here – it looks exactly the same, but is better in every way inside.

VMK25 ANC Headphones
A new and improved noise-cancelling headphone was born from the VMK20.
Can you improve headphones that are already brilliant? The VMK20 wireless noise-cancelling headphones have been a hit – tens of thousands sold and praised by both the media and customers. But as always, progress progresses and there's always something new to learn, even the best noise-cancelling headphones can evolve. That's why we created a new, even better model based on them: the VMK25 noise-cancelling headphones.
Modern Finnish design – without the flashy lights
Finnish Ratamo Design revamped the look – more modern, yet still unmistakably Valco. We aimed for a modern appearance while keeping the "family resemblance," so there's no need to suspect the VMK25 noise-cancelling headphones of being the postman's son.
Since we believe wireless headphones don't need to glow in the dark or flash like a disco ball, both function LEDs are tucked inside the ear cups. This way, you can be sure you won't be spotted lurking in the bushes with these on.
Swappable covers for extra personality
A fun detail of the VMK25 model is the magnetically attached color covers, which you can easily swap, wash, and customize for your own amusement (or to annoy others). You can check them out more closely here.
Revamped elements and better sound quality
The previous noise-cancelling headphones were already tuned to perfection, and no amount of tweaking could make them better. That's why these have new composite drivers, allowing for even better sound quality than before. The Bluetooth technology is, of course, Qualcomm quality.
Improved noise-cancelling and transparency mode
The noise-cancelling feature is now on a whole new level. A completely new noise-cancelling circuit, combined with thick memory foam cushions, blocks out noise so effectively that you can listen to silence. And by popular demand, we've included transparency mode—even though we think it's a bit silly. But you wanted it, so we made it.
Award-Winner – Don't take our word for it, trust the reviews
And if you don't believe us, believe the tests. The VMK25 has also received praise from unbiased reviewers – check out this review for example. We also have a huge amount of customer feedback from buyers right here on our site.

With the wired microphone thing, you get a lag-free gaming experience, and you don't have to buy ugly gaming headsets separately. The boom microphone that you can push in front of your mouth also helps filter out annoying coworkers, in case you still have to go to the office for work in the 2020s.
What on earth is a noise-cancelling headphone?
In the accompanying video, Jasse "Jazmanaut" Kesti explains in simple terms what it's really about when we talk about noise cancellation.
Note! The video tests the VMK25 headphones, which have a slightly better noise cancellation feature than the VMK20 model.
Brilliant 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 and sales pitches.
A small manufacturer like Valco can use the same top-notch components as the well-known megacorporations in their more expensive models.
We just don't have a thousand employees to support, a skyscraper in Manhattan, or a CEO (yet) with a private jet.
Thanks to this, we can offer you the best price-quality ratio on the market.
And what about after you've bought? Our customer service and Valco's own maintenance ensure our products last – and if you want a change, you can trade in your old Valcos with us. Try that elsewhere.
In the end, what really matters is why we do this. We sell headphones to fund our own Death Star, with which we'll achieve galactic domination.

Headphone FAQ
You can find more answers to different questions here.
Do these have a built-in microphone?
Yes, they do. All VMK series headphones have a built-in hands-free microphone, which allows for calls and boring Teams meetings.
Are these suitable for gaming?
If you're playing single-player games, then why not. But Bluetooth isn't yet very good for wireless gaming headphones. If you want to use VMK headphones for gaming, it's worth buying a wired microphone thingy, so you'll have excellent noise-cancelling headphones for gaming too.
How do Valco headphones differ from competitors' headphones?
Our headphones offer excellent sound quality, long battery life, and are as comfortable as a feather pillow. And best of all, they're designed in Finland. By buying Valco headphones, you can be sure your money mostly goes to the Finnish taxman and the retail oligopoly.
While the headphones don't exactly differ from others (except by being exceptionally good headphones for their price), our customer service is something you won't get elsewhere. Or can you send other brand headphones for repair after the warranty period?
Of course, the biggest difference between us and others is that we're real people. The money you give us honestly goes to beer, child support, big gold watches, and sports cars. Or well, what's left after the Finnish taxman sinks his claws into it.
Unlike our competitors, like [A large Japanese or Korean conglomerate], [The world's largest American corporation], and [A large German microphone factory], you can always reach Valco's entrepreneurs and even go for a beer.
Try doing the same with [Megakorporaation].
Do Valco headphones have a warranty?
Of course! We believe in our products so much that we give them a two-year so-called full warranty (which is more comprehensive than others). If the fault is clearly ours, we'll help even after the warranty period with headphone matters. 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 slightly better of the two. Its structure is sturdier, materials more expensive, and it features a new type of noise cancellation and new headphone elements. However, both headphones are absolutely worth the money.
