Peace and quiet with headphones

Stop torturing employees with shitty tools
In the office, one person is hammering the keyboard like a drum solo, another is apparently calling someone deaf based on the yelling, and right next to them someone is blabbering on about how Marja-Petteri has brought home the daycare flu again. And what’s the employer’s solution to this cacophony? Usually it’s "the company’s official headset". A flimsy plastic contraption that makes the employee look like a telemarketer and sounds like distorted radio chatter from 1942. Then the same people go home and listen to music on proper headphones.
We claim that Valco’s noise cancelling headphones wipe the floor with the big competitors at half the price. Marketing talk is cheap, so we’re not asking you to believe us blindly, we’re putting our money where our mouth is: Take the headphones into your company for a month-long trial. Abuse them in the office and in remote meetings. If for one reason or another they don’t suit your use, we’ll take them back without whining and pay the shipping both ways. No risk, no excuses.
Detachable work identity
We’re now releasing an accessory that changes the game. This sturdy boom microphone plugs into the USB-C port of compatible Valco noise cancelling headphones, moving the mic from your ear to in front of your mouth. The result is a radically better signal-to-noise ratio: you dominate the line and the surrounding racket stays quietly in the background. At the same time, the shared name for the headphones and boom mic changes to the corporate-ego-stroking "Business Edition".
Gear for the perfect double life:
Work (8 am to 4 pm): The boom is down. You are a credible expert. Your voice comes through crystal clear in meetings, even if there’s construction going on around you or your colleague is yelling next to you. You are efficient, focused, and professional, or at least you sound like it.
Free time (4 pm->): The workday ends. You pull off the boom mic. Now you no longer have a headset, but top-tier HiFi headphones. Nobody can tell that a moment ago you were part of the corporate hierarchy. You can go straight to wandering the grocery store aisles or collapse onto your couch at home to listen to the kind of music you’d never admit at the office that you’re into.
VMK25.2 Business Edition noise cancelling headphones + Microphone thing
Flagship model (over-ear) with an unbeatable price-quality ratio. Noise cancelling that brushes up against the top of the market cuts down the surrounding racket. Studio-level sound quality and a battery that lasts a full work week on a single charge (55h). The perfect tool for building your own bubble in an open-plan office. No AI, no heart rate monitor, and no other pointless crap.
VMK15 Business Edition noise cancelling headphones + Microphone thing
Lighter on-ear model. Cups that won't make you sweat even in the toughest meetings. If you have a small head or the company's budget is tight, pick these. The sound quality is top-notch and the battery life is the same massive 55h as their big brother's.
What’s the point of headphones?
- Peace and quiet anywhere: Hybrid noise cancelling blocks out office racket or the roar of a construction site. You can also use transparency mode for, say, eavesdropping.
- Remote meetings without pain: Crystal-clear sound makes Teams almost tolerable.
- A battery that doesn’t give up: Over 55 hours on a single charge, meaning it lasts a full work week or two calls to your mother
- Comfort from morning to night: So light and ergonomic you’ll forget they’re on your head. No squeezing, no swearing, just an unbelievable zen feeling.
- Quality that lasts, and goes on Valco’s tab if it’s our fault: Two-year warranty with no pointless catches. If the damage isn’t covered by warranty (a tractor ran over them), our service team in Kajaani will fix your headphones for a fee. Spare parts and earpads will continue to be available too. No disposable nonsense.
- Top-tier Finnish design: Design by Lauri Lumme and studio-level sound by Jasse “Jazmanaut” Kesti. Even professional musicians use Valcos.
- Employee satisfaction improves: Bread and circuses, a familiar tactic since ancient Rome. Noise cancelling headphones for employees increase productivity by 12% and reduce rebellious sentiment by up to 64%*.

Mark employees with the company logo
The word "brand" originally meant a branding iron used to mark your own cattle. Legally, this is about as close as you can get to branding your employees. Because the replaceable shells on Valco headphones can be marked with your company logo. It won’t stay hidden either, it’ll be visible everywhere your employees go:
At the office: the logo shines in meetings and at desks, while the noise cancelling keeps distractions quiet.
In halls and on worksites: people get to work in peace, and your company logo is visible where the actual work gets done.
In their free time: out jogging, at a café, and at the airport, the logo gets visibility in places where a banner ad would never end up.
You’re probably thinking that since these are super fancy headphones, you’d need to be a super big company to buy headphones with your own logo on them. Well, that’s the trick!
Our highly advanced technology and patented mañana process make it possible to customize even pathetically small orders of just 10 units!
The branding is done by hand in Tampere. The quality is top-notch and the service is fast. Unlike most other things in this country.
Practical circular economy that isn’t just buzzword crap on PowerPoint slides.
A sustainable choice
Most electronics giants are built on "planned obsolescence". They sincerely hope you chuck your devices into e-waste every two years.
We at Valco, on the other hand, have a three-point counterattack against throwaway culture:
Our own service in Kajaani
If your Valcos break after the warranty runs out, we’ve got our own service shop in Kajaani that fixes them up. You’ll get your cans back in shape for a fraction of the price of a new pair. It’s an eco-friendly move that shows up right on the bottom line.
Lifecycle model and trade-in credit
When tech moves on and you want to upgrade your gear to a newer model. We’ll give you a fair trade-in price for your old Valco headphones when you buy new ones. We refurbish the old cans and find them a new, loving home.
We plant a tree for every pair of headphones sold
Is it greenwashing? Of course it is, no point pretending otherwise. But it’s still better than not planting anything.
Jasse knows so you don’t have to
Audio guru Jasse Kesti is the guy responsible for how these things sound. Since he’s the only one of us with actual expertise, he also gets to explain the finer points of the boom mic in the video. All you need to do is hit the play button and marvel at this triumph of technology.
An offer you can’t refuse
We offer companies a completely risk-free 30-day free trial. It’s the best way to understand why thousands of Finns have ditched the big brands and switched to Valco.
When you very likely decide during the trial that the gear is excellent, we’ll make you an offer for whatever quantity you want. We can deliver with your company logo or without, and then we’ll send the invoice.
If, however, for one reason or another disaster strikes and the trial doesn’t convince you, we’ll humbly take the headphones back and cover the shipping both ways.
Note! The free trial applies to business customers only. We reserve the right to refuse to send headphones for testing to suspicious companies for no particular reason.
Want to try them out or place an order? Get in touch!
These two minions answer the phone, emails, and smoke signals. Their job is to keep a hawk-eyed watch on deliveries and make sure the branding work is so damn polished it might even look better than your original logo.
