The km5 Lightwear Headphones Hp1 blend nostalgic design reminiscent of Sony's original Walkman headphones with modern wireless technology. Launched on a Japanese crowdfunding platform, they became widely available recently for $189. Weighing just 103 grams, these headphones offer a minimalist aesthetic with a flexible stainless steel headband, compact earpads, and active noise cancellation capabilities. Despite their open design, they also feature transparency mode for enhanced situational awareness. With strong battery life rated at 24 hours and versatile connectivity options, the Hp1 caters to both casual listeners and tech enthusiasts alike.
Headphones had existed for well over 50 years by the time Sony's Walkman debuted in 1979, but the portable cassette player helped popularize the technology by miniaturizing it.
The Hp1 utilizes a more open design that minimizes passive noise reduction, but the headphones do offer active noise cancellation as well as a transparency mode.
