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

With headphones you often have to pick between good sound quality, comfort, or noise cancellation that actually works. With Valcos, all three feel balanced. You really notice it during a workday: how much calmer and more focused you feel once the background hum disappears and the music actually sounds good.
These sound absolutely FANTASTIC, and the active noise cancellation is a lifesaver when we've had enough of listening to each other in the back room.
We loved Valco headphones so much that we asked them to make a custom model for our 40th anniversary. The sound quality and comfort are genuinely top-tier. Valco headphones are a must-have for any music lover.
I've mixed on Valcos out on the road, and you've got to love the quality. The headphones also exposed the fact that my recording space has quite a bit of "room" to it. Highly recommended for audiophiles and audio professionals alike.
I own a LOT of headphones across every price range, and I can honestly say Valcos are consistently my number one pick for listening to music. And when I'm trying to sleep while my son is gaming in the next room, I just slip on the Valcos with noise cancelling on, roll onto my side, and drift off to some stand-up or an old Star Trek episode. What's not to love?
- Hello! Can you hear me?
- Loud and clear!
It's fundamentally important that when you listen to music, you don't have to concentrate on the irrelevant stuff and can just enjoy a perfect soundstage. Valco: the answer to your question of where to find a soundstage like that for your ears!

Don't believe us, believe our customers
We could tell you how great we are, but that would be a bit suspect. So instead, we let our customers do the talking. In our latest big customer survey, the average score was 9.2/10, which is plenty for a company that openly admits it wants to build a space weapon. The reviews are real. The photos are taken by the customers themselves, and unfortunately, it shows.
This is what we sell
At Valco, we sell genuinely great noise cancelling headphones, Bluetooth speakers, accessories and a rotating cast of lifestyle products like sunglasses. Not just because they're brilliant. Every product sold (and every euro of yours we pocket) gets us one step closer to our actual goal: building the Death Star and conquering the galaxy.

Noise cancellation, comfort and sound quality that holds its own against anything out there. Repairable, for when you sit on them drunk.

Bluetooth speakers for home, the cabin, the building site, even the hot tub. Small, big, and everything in between.

Earpads, cables, swappable covers and other bits you need when your pet eats the originals or your boring life needs a refresh.

Sunglasses and other stuff that isn't headphones or speakers. The selection rotates, because new things show up whenever someone has an idea.

Designed to last. Repaired after that too.
With electronics it usually goes like this: warranty ends, the thing breaks, and your options are the bin or a new one. We repair your headphones even after the warranty's done. Even if you sit on them drunk, the dog chews the headband, or your kid decides to test whether they can fly off the balcony.

We plant a tree for every pair of headphones sold
Valco wants to look like the good guys and sell a lot of headphones. Since everyone else is doing this kind of thing these days, we figured we'd launch our own environmental campaign too. Obviously it's greenwashing when a company plants trees. No point pretending otherwise. Let's be honest.
Essential Valco

Wallet a bit empty?
No worries! You can buy from us on invoice and in instalments too. Try the product in peace and pay if you decide to keep it. The pricier stuff you can pay off bit by bit as the welfare cheques keep rolling in.

What the press said
"The wireless Valco VMK20 noise cancelling headphones sound clear and detailed. The bass comes through nicely too. The VMK20s are good headphones, and as a package they're among the best in their price range."
"With its controlled bass and an almost overly detailed sound, the Valco VMK20 shows just how much you can get out of headphones for not much money. The noise cancellation and build quality are good, and the promised battery life of up to 45 hours is unmatched. A straightforward bit of fun with seriously impressive value for money."
"The Valco VMK20 and Urbanista Miami were reviewed using the same criteria and weighting as the previous Valco Valcoitus Bass in our three-headphone comparison in issue TM 4/2020. Valco's performance improved clearly, and Urbanista ended up with the same score as the Philips PH805 from our comparison."
(In the 4/20 comparison Sony got 8.3 points and Valco 8.3, Philips got 8.0. In the rematch Valco got 8.7.)
"Valco is by no means dirt cheap for the price, but it delivers a complete package: a solid Bluetooth connection, excellent battery life, top-tier ANC, and a warm, well-tuned hi-fi sound."
"I never thought I'd be writing this, but my old Beyerdynamic Aventho Wireless headphones have been sent into early retirement. The Valco headphones completely won me over."
"Personally I have nothing to complain about and I find them slightly better than my own Bose QC 35s. Valco has pulled off its gamble perfectly: quality headphones for half the price of the competition."
"Fresh and cheeky over-ear noise cancelling headphones that deliver great sound and comfort."
Score 90/100
"The Valco VMK20 is in fact a really good wireless over-ear model whose noise cancellation works really well. The headphones sound better than we'd expected, and in our opinion they're the best of the affordable noise cancelling headphones."
"The Valco VMK20 headphones impress above all with their sound quality. So far I haven't heard better noise cancelling headphones."
"The VMK25 isn't the most feature-packed noise cancelling headphone on the market. But if you value ease of use, durability and good sound, it's a no-brainer."

Win your own Death Star!
We tried to buy a real Death Star, but some Danish con artist sold us a box of plastic bricks. We can't bear to look at this pile of shame any longer, so we're raffling it off among our newsletter subscribers.
Enter the giveaway by subscribing to the Valco newsletter before 15.11.2026.
No complicated forms or licking stamps. Easy as stepping on a Lego brick.
An honest headphone comparison
Our competitors make good headphones. We have to admit it, even if it makes us grind our teeth. Then again, it'd be pretty embarrassing to make bad headphones with thousands of employees on the payroll. The difference is in how much margin gets eaten by executive salaries, what happens after you buy, and most importantly, whether you can grab a beer with the CEO.
Four good reasons to buy from us
Killer value for money
Even though we sell these headphones to fund the construction of our Death Star, we still offer something genuinely one of a kind.
Valco headphones combine the best sensibly priced components, Finnish design, and Jasse Kesti's 20+ years of mastering experience. All at a very reasonable price.
We'll go out on a limb and say Valco headphones offer unbeatable value for money and a listening experience that's untouchable in their price range.
If all goes well, in 2025 we'll have what might be the world's first headphones manufactured in Finland. And quite possibly the only ones in the world, Valco headphones also have an official aftermarket. You can trade in your old pair for new ones!
Shipping's on us
So basically, we don't charge for shipping. Since the United States of America has decided to seek military protection from Finland and NATO has now joined Finland, as a show of solidarity we no longer charge them for shipping either, even though they live far from here at the center of the world.
You should however be prepared to pay customs if you live in some developing country like Switzerland or Norway. Thanks to Brexit, the UK is now also a developing country.
Actually, if you live in Europe outside the EU (i.e., the UK), you're almost better off ordering the headphones through our reseller Thomann.
Valco's full warranty
Valco products come with a unique two-year full warranty. It covers everything except damage caused by gross negligence or intent, and even then we can usually help out (for a small fee, at the very least).
So during the warranty period we hang on tooth and nail to make sure you can fully enjoy your Valco headphones (or other Valco audio products).
Our loyal minions reply to your emails, chat with you on Facebook, and keep you company on lonely evenings.
We believe that good customer service, including after the sale, is the best way to market products.
And once the warranty period ends, you can still get spare parts from us and have your headphones repaired back to like-new condition for a nominal fee, for as long as this outfit exists.
Risk-free purchase
We trust what we sell. Unlike your spouse, we're not satisfied unless you're 100% satisfied.
You can try the headphones at home and return them within 14 days if, for example, the bailiff is knocking, your head is too lumpy, or you just don't appreciate a good pair of headphones. Just remember that when you return them, the headphones should be intact and clean. We don't want your earwax or dandruff any more than anyone else does.
If for some reason you end up returning your purchase, let customer service know (so we can send the money back to the right place) and ship the product back. That's it. We won't harass you or ask dumb questions.
Naturally, if there's anything we can improve, we're happy to hear your ideas.
...and one more thing
Valco Oy isn't some faceless website. We have the company's business ID and the owners' names and faces clearly visible on our website. We're real people who enjoy the small pleasures of life.
The money you give us goes honestly toward beer, child support payments, big gold watches, and sports cars. Whatever's left, we'll put toward the Death Star.
Unlike our competitors, like [Big Asian conglomerate], [World's biggest American corporation], and [Big German microphone factory owned by a Swiss holding company], Valco's founders are actually reachable and can even go for a beer with you.
Try the same with [Megacorp].
At Valco Oy, we're proud to be real people, with real faces, who actually care about our customers. Join the gang and feel the difference!
