No, because Noctua is not just a color scheme it is a company known for making quality fans. I don’t care about brands. I care about quality products and as far as I’m aware they have never produced headphones before or know anything about making headphones.

What?

Considering this is a mock-up for Sony x Noctua, I would assume it would be manufactured by Sony, who has made plenty of headphones, for a long time. The color scheme is borrowed from Noctua and as far I’m concerned they’re experts at beige.

I understand the headphones in this scenario would be made by Sony which is why it being partnered with Noctua seems kind of pointless. They don’t bring anything to the table when it comes to headphones beyond the color scheme.

wouldn’t be the first time noctua took part in something that’s quite a bit removed from their regular products, though. Drop sells a noctua -colored custom keycap set, for example.

Oh yes, a colab with a fan company, that’s a great idea. Personally I would love a Bose/Whirlpool edition.

Why not Trojan™ and Western Digital?

I bet everyone would be all over that collab.

I mean, if those XM4 are anything like the XM5, a fan would be a welcome addition lol

I wouldn’t. Noctua makes fans.

The only noctua product I bought was 97% packaging. I think I remember seeing a fan, right enough

The brown is too nice looking to be Noctua brown.

Yeah I was thinking that, too. Both the beige and the brown are off, they’re more like bone and copper, which looks nice. Noctua uses very distinct colors, but they only work well because they’re on fans that are hidden away, they’re not “pretty” colors. And do not have to be, either!

I agree, but I also can’t deny there is something to be said for “ugly chic”. Not sure if that’s a thing but it sounds good in my head.

EDIT: Apparently it is a thing and was invented by Prada from what I could find.
