“Music is an integral part of our lives, and with improved technology, the W800BT makes this union even more harmonious,” comments Sebastiaan Gruijters, head of Onkyo at Gibson Innovations.

Our new headphones are the future, and we’re proud to showcase this real breakthrough in technology here at IFA.”.
Each headphone features a powerful 8.6mm driver, delivering a balanced sound between 20Hz and 20kHz. Open acoustic design provides clear and accurate sound with passive noise isolation. The right earpiece is equipped with a microphone to accept hands free calls when connected via Bluetooth to a mobile device.
