Product description

From the VMK20 came a new, better noise cancelling headphone

Can you even improve on headphones that were already great? The VMK20 was a hit: tens of thousands of pairs sold and praise from both the media and customers. But progress keeps progressing. So we used it as the foundation for a new, even better model.

Modern Finnish design, no blinking lights

Finnish design studio Ratamo Design gave the look a refresh: more modern, but still recognizably Valco. Both status LEDs sit inside the ear cup, because headphones don't need to glow in the dark. That way nobody spots you crouched in the bushes with these on, lying in wait.

Swappable covers and more personality

The VMK25 has magnetic color covers you can swap, wash, and customize, for your own enjoyment or to annoy everyone else.

New drivers and better noise cancellation

New 45 mm composite drivers take the sound quality to a new level. A completely new noise cancellation circuit and thick memory foam cushions block out noise so effectively you can listen to silence. There's also transparency mode included, even though we think it's kind of pointless. But you wanted it, so we built it.

Not the newest model, but still excellent

In the interest of honesty: the VMK25.2 has already taken its place, and this one has been out for a few years too. You won't find the latest Bluetooth tech here. But the hybrid noise cancellation, 45 mm composite drivers, and Jasse's sound tuning haven't changed one bit. Sound quality doesn't know inflation, and at this price you'll damn happily listen to these.

Test winner, don't take our word for it, trust the reviews

The VMK25 has earned praise from independent reviewers too. You'll also find a huge number of reviews from customers who've bought it, right here on our site.

This is a warranty-serviced unit that came in as a trade-in. The headphones ship in their original packaging, including the manual, charging cable, and 3.5 mm audio cable. Worn cushions have been replaced with new ones, and unused ones have been disinfected. There may be minor signs of use, but nothing significant: practically as good as new. The warranty is the standard 24 months, with a 14-day return right, same as a new headphone.

50-hour battery life

Fifty hours. That's two days of uninterrupted listening. You fly from Helsinki to Tokyo, sleep through the hotel silence, and fly back without a single recharge. If you're a normal person and don't fly to Tokyo, it easily lasts a week. You charge on Sunday and the next time you need the charger is the following weekend. Or later, if you forget.

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

We could tell you how great we are, but that would be a bit suspicious. So we'll let our customers do the talking instead. Reviews are real. Not every product has enough reviews yet, but the ones that do show up first. Photos are taken by customers themselves, and unfortunately it shows.

Mustat Valco VMK25 -kuulokkeet huoltopöydällä

Do your wallet a favour, save the planet on the side.

This is a warranty-serviced VMK25. When the newer VMK25.2 launched, a lot of loyal customers traded up, and big piles of excellent VMK25 headphones started stacking up in the corners as trade-ins. Our service crew goes through every single one: inspecting, repairing, testing, and replacing any worn or broken parts with new ones.

The result is a headphone that's practically as good as new, with a full 24-month warranty and 14-day return right. You might spot the odd wear mark or smudge if you look closely, but most units are still in excellent condition.

Why buy used? Because one person's junk is another person's treasure, especially when it's warranty-serviced. Lower price, same sound, and a favor for your wallet. Warranty-serviced units go on sale as fast as the service team can process them, and the colors available depend on what comes in as trade-ins. If you need a specific color for sure, you'll find the new ones on their own page.

Great products without the dead weight*

Did you know that almost all the electronics inside headphones come from a handful of giants?

Everything else is just smoke and sales talk.

A small maker like Valco can use the exact same top-tier components as the famous mega-corporations stick in their pricier models.

We just don't have a thousand employees to feed, a Manhattan skyscraper to pay for, or a CEO with a private jet (yet).

Which is why we can give you the best bang-for-buck on the market.

And what happens after you've bought? Our customer service and Valco's in-house repair team make sure our products last. And if you fancy a change, you can trade your old Valcos back in to us. Try doing that anywhere else.

At the end of the day, the point of all this is simple. We sell headphones to fund our own Death Star, so we can rule the galaxy.
