NO RACK.
NO STACK.
NO COMPROMISE.
What if your hi-fi system didn’t sit on a shelf—
but rather on your head?
écoute is the world’s first and only headset with dual-mono amplification and a built-in vacuum tube preamp stage—the warmth of tubes, the separation of monoblocks, and the freedom to move.
BUILT FOR THOSE
WHO LISTEN.
It's not about replacing your system.
It's about taking its soul with you.
écoute began with a simple question: how do we make the sound of a high-end system portable—without compromise?
The answer is architecture. Not effects. Not emulation. A signal path that mirrors a serious two-channel rig:
→ A reference-grade DAC captures every detail in the source
→ A true valve preamp breathes life into the midrange
→ Dual-mono amplification maintains channel separation and dimensionality
→ Firmware-level DSP tuning lets you shape your voicing precisely to your taste
Wearable. Portable. Built for real-world listening—without abandoning the principles of hi-fi that made you fall in love with listening.
Sounds Like A Rack
System Because
It's Built Like One
Most headphones just play music.
écoute stages it.
At the heart of écoute sits a pair of true valves acting as preamps, shaping the signal with harmonic richness and dimensionality before it reaches discrete paired analog amplifiers. This isn’t an effect layered on after the fact—it’s the same kind of front-end architecture you’d find in a high-end hi-fi system.
The dual-mono signal path keeps channels completely isolated, eliminating crosstalk and preserving imaging with striking clarity. Instruments lock into place. Vocals sound human. Details unfold naturally across a three-dimensional field.
A listening experience that feels grounded, expressive, and intentional—like a proper system. Because it is one.
LISTEN NOT JUST
WHERE YOU WANT—
BUT HOW YOU WANT.
Most headphones force you to choose between fidelity and convenience. écoute doesn’t.
Three ways to listen:
→ Bluetooth 5.3: High-resolution wireless LDAC or AAC
→ USB-C: 24-bit / 192kHz lossless digital playback
→ Analog 3.5mm: Active or passive mode, your call
Every input gets routed through the same signal path—the tube preamp and dual-mono amp. So no matter how you connect, you get the same full system-grade performance.
YOUR HEADSET.
YOUR SOUND.
Most headphones ask you to adapt to their sound. écoute lets you shape yours. With the écoute Tuning App for iOS and Android, your headset becomes more than just a playback device—it’s a tunable instrument.
This isn’t EQ in the traditional sense. The adjustments you make in the app are applied at the firmware level, directly within the DSP—preserving full resolution. There’s no added distortion, no artifacts, no post-processing smear—just clean,high-resolution tuning that respects the integrity of the signal as much as it respects your preferences.
Why does this matter?
Because every ear is different. Every library, every genre, every source brings its own sonic signature. Whether you want a more neutral curve, greater vocal clarity, or a low-end bump, the écoute Tuning App gives you that control—precisely and without compromise.
