Valco

The world's friendliest evil corporation

The best headphones you can afford. Every euro takes us a little closer to the Death Star.

Honestly

Valco is a headphone company from Kajaani, Finland. We design and tune our headphones in Finland, have them made in the Far East and repair them in Kajaani. No AI, no heart-rate sensors, no touch controls.

Why so cheap? With the big brands you pay for the components, plus celebrity deals, airport-shop margins and a headquarters tower. We cut those. We didn't cut the components.

Who tunes them? Sound guru Jasse "Jazmanaut" Kesti. We use the same Qualcomm chips as everyone else, but the tuning is done by ear, not by the marketing department.

What when they break? We repair them. During the warranty and after it. We take old Valcos in trade-in and sell warranty-serviced used ones for less.

NL25

Earbuds for people who actually listen to music

Noise cancelling in your pocket sizes. The case is so pretty it deserves a toast.

Pick your silence

VMK25.2 is the flagship. VMK15 is made for smaller heads. NL25 fits in your pocket. The Megadeth edition is for Megadeth fans, surprisingly.

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

I've really enjoyed using Valco's noise-cancelling headphones on the road. They've become my daily headphones for listening to music.

Megadeth

These sound absolutely FANTASTIC, and the active noise cancelling is a lifesaver when we get tired of listening to each other in the back room.

Battle Beast

We loved Valco headphones so much that we wanted them to make a custom model for our 40th anniversary. The sound quality and comfort are truly top class.

With headphones you often have to choose between good sound, comfort and working noise cancelling. With Valcos they all seem to be in balance.

I've been mixing on Valcos on the road, and you have to love the quality. Warmly recommended to audiophiles and audio professionals alike.

Reino Nordin

I have a LOT of headphones in every price range, and I can honestly say that Valcos are consistently my first choice for listening to music.

When listening to music it's essential not to have to focus on irrelevant things, but to enjoy a perfect soundstage.

Headphones that don't end up in a landfill

We repair Valcos after the warranty too, take old ones in trade-in and sell warranty-serviced used ones. Megacorporations don't like it.

The Valco story has only just begun

We started in 2018, groping around in the dark. In early 2019 we found sound guru Jasse Kesti, and together we designed our first noise-cancelling headphones of our own.

VMK20 took off online in 2020. A lot has gone to hell since: during covid we received a big batch of faulty headphones and the company nearly went under. It didn't.

The range now is VMK25.2, VMK15, the NL25 earbuds and the Nordell speakers. The office is in Kajaani, the phone rings occasionally and the Death Star is still the official goal.
