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.

Probably not if it’s actually Sony. But if they paired with a headphone brand I already trust to make good headphones and they have fans in them that keep my ears cool and comfortable (and somehow don’t mess with the sound quality in the process, through sorcery I guess?) then I’m in.

I don’t know if you know this but Sony XM line of headphones regularly makes the top of wireless headphone lists. They’re incredibly good.

That being said, I hate Noctua’s colors and can’t imagine they would bring anything to the table in this collab besides them.

  1. I’ve never liked that colour scheme, I’ve always bought the grey colours whenever possible.
  2. This is not their core competency, why’d I get that?

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

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

Why not Trojan™ and Western Digital?

I bet everyone would be all over that collab.

Unless the ANC is somehow better because of Noctua no I don’t think this would be a good pairing. I even like the colors but there should be a point to a partnership.

I guess I could see something like, we used our knowledge of computer sounds to tune out your PC running?

But yeah it’s pretty silly
