I wanted to highlight one of my favorites: Repeat Audio (formerly Gerrard Street). Theyโ€™ve been pioneers in modular, fully circular headphonesโ€”100% Dutch design (TU Delft), one of my friends who studied there put me onto this.

Since 2014, theyโ€™ve been recycling broken parts and offering free repairs for life with a no-questions-asked policy. Iโ€™ve been a customer since 2016, swapped a few parts over the years, and even got a free upgrade when they rebranded. Had a great chat with one of the founders back then, which only made me more of a fan.

They were doing modular headphones long before some bigger names jumped on the concept. Repeat is now getting some pretty big national artists jumping in to support their mission, so Iโ€™m hoping theyโ€™ll do cool collabs and swap-outs in the future.

Does anyone have experience with them?

I've rented one via Commown (a Fr-De cooperative for renting electronics). The sound is great, the microphone is nice and I like the design. It's also quite funny to have to assemble it yourself when you receive it. However, I find them quite uncomfortable when worn over a long session, but since I wear glasses, I have this problem with every headset.

Hopefully I wonโ€™t get shot for recommending a Japanese brand but if you get a chance to try the Sony WH-1000XM5s I find they work well over my glasses.

Those aren't bad but the skinny headband hurts my head after a while. For me their older models were more comfortable. I don't wear glasses though
