For years we got feedback we didn't take seriously at first: your headphones are good, but too big. People with smaller heads tightened the headband all the way down, and the cups still dangled around their jawline.
So we made the VMK15. An on-ear model, about 200 grams, buttons hidden under the fabric surface and the same Jasse tuning as in our bigger models. The price is 139 euros, because we assumed you can't decently ask for more for smaller headphones.
Then Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung's Kaufkompass tested 48 on-ear headphones and picked the VMK15 as the winner of the entire comparison. We didn't design a test winner. We designed headphones for people the others don't fit. The win came as a bonus.
Below you'll find the reasoning, the reviewers' scores and one genuinely weaker point, which we'll tell you about ourselves before someone else beats us to it.
P.S. Light and folding down small, the VMK15 also makes an excellent travel companion: headphones for travel.
