Ian DeLucca Diamond AirPods

As Apple's AirPods have become more and more ubiquitous, more and more people are looking for ways to customize them. LA-based designer Ian Delucca decided on a far-from-subtle approach. Limited to just 25 pairs, his Object No. 1 AirPods are cast in white gold, then adorned with 1,0000 individual VVS natural, mined diamonds. Each set has its edition number and creation date inscribed and arrives with a custom marble charging stand.

Cambridge Audio Melomania 1 Wireless Headphones

Five decades of experience. Tiny enclosure. Cambridge Audio's Melomania 1 is the company's first pair of truly wireless in-ear headphones. Named after the live music venue at their London R&D center, they have 5.8mm graphene drivers that deliver surprising clarity and presence. Bluetooth 5.0 provides a stable connection, AAC and aptX support lossless wireless audio, and MEMS microphones keep calls clear. The headphones weigh just 4.6g each and can run up to 9 hours on a single charge, with up to four recharges offered by the included carrying case.

Master & Dynamic MW65 Noise-Canceling Headphones

An active lifestyle demands a pair of headphones that can keep pace. And the wireless MW65 does just that with three selectable active noise-canceling modes. So whether you're at the office, all alone, or trying to drown out a noisy crowd, the MW65 has you covered. In all three modes, the crisp, warm sound that helps M&D cans stand out isn't lost, with a little extra low-end punch when canceling is activated. They're also the most comfortable M&D headphones to date, with a premium leather headband and lambskin-wrapped memory-foam ear pads that surround a new, lighter anodized aluminum build. Each pair has an impressive 24 hours of battery life, strong Bluetooth range, built-in Google Assistant, and land snugly in the included carrying pouch when they aren't wrapped around your head.

Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700

Long the most well-known name in noise-cancelling headphones, Bose is striving to once again be the best. Their new 700 cans use four microphones and advanced processing to offer 11 levels of noise cancellation, with a Conversation Mode for quick real-world conversations, near complete silence when needed, and outstanding clarity on phone calls. There's a dedicated button to access your favorite voice assistant, a sleek, futuristic design, and active EQ. As the first headphones to support Bose AR, they also promise futuristic, tailored audio content based on where you are and what you're looking at.

Powerbeats Pro Wireless Earphones

Powered by the same H1 chip as Apple's latest AirPods, the Powerbeats Pro are workout-ready, totally wireless earphones. Completely redesigned, they're 23 percent smaller and 17 percent lighter than their predecessor, with a sweat- and water-resistant design. An ergonomically angled acoustic housing works with four included tips to provide outstanding sound quality while isolating outside noise. Like the AirPods, they support hands-free "Hey Siri" requests when paired with iOS devices, and charge up in the included carrying case when their 9-hour battery runs out. Coming in May in Black, Ivory, Moss, and Navy.

Master & Dynamic MW07 Wireless Earphones

Truly wireless with a handcrafted tortoise brown acetate body, the MW07 earphones from Master & Dynamic strike an ideal blend of convenience, performance, and style. Inside each 'bud is a custom 10mm Beryllium driver that delivers impossibly good sound from a small package. Silicone "wings" in two different sizes ensure a secure fit, and MEMS mics let you handle calls easily. They last for 3.5 hours, charge inside the included stainless steel carrying case for a total of 14 hours of battery life, and have an IPX 4 splashproof rating, making them capable, although unlikely, gym companions.

Available in Matte Black, Tortoise Shell, or White Marble.

Bang & Olufsen x Rimowa Beoplay H9i Headphones

With a monochrome silver look that matches Rimowa's iconic suitcases, these Bang & Olufsen H9i Headphones are an ideal travel companion. As headphones, they offer the same active noise cancellation, 40mm electro-dynamic drivers, soft lambskin ear pads, and touch-based controls as the standard edition. But instead of a simple pouch, they come in a custom Rimowa case that cradles them as delicately as they do your ears. The limited edition cans are finished with a Rimowa logo on one ear cup and the B&O logo on the other.

Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay E8 2.0 Wireless Earphones

The original BeoPlay E8 earphones were billed as truly wireless, and that was true — except when it was time to charge them up. This 2.0 revision eliminates that final cord with a leather changing case that supports both micro USB and Qi wireless charging. As before, they're crafted from aluminum, stainless steel, and leather, with a reassuring build quality that feels great in your ears. An app-accessed Digital Signal Processor lets you adjust the EQ and gain to suit your preferences, a built-in mic lets you handle phone calls, and an adjustable Transparency Mode that lets you hear the world around you. The latter is accessed via an intuitive touch interface that also lets you start and stop the audio, change tracks, and activate voice commands. They offer a playtime of four hours on their own, with an extra twelve provided by the case, and are a great-sounding alternative to ubiquitous white 'buds. With the release of the 2.0's, it means you can also pick up the original E8's for quite a bargain.

Frequency: 20 - 20,000 Hz / Impedance: 16 Ohm / Wireless: Bluetooth 4.2 AAC Codec

Earphones: 0.9" x 0.79" x 0.98" / Charging Case: 2.87" x 1.85" x 1.30"

Klipsch Heritage HP-3 Headphones

Using a highly-efficient design, the Klipsch Heritage HP-3 Headphones offer audiophile sound untethered from dedicated amps. At their heart are free-edge 52mm bio-dynamic drivers made from a secret mix of bio-cellulose and inorganic fiber that are incredibly balanced and controlled. They're seated in solid wood ear cups that are triple-vented to reduce pressure in your ears and deliver consistent, natural sound. Matching the quality of the audio, the rest of the design is hand-assembled using visible copper nuts and bolts, with a hand-stitched cowhide headband and magnetic removable sheepskin ear cushions. They arrive in a handsome wooden case, along with a pair of smartphone-compatible 3.5mm cables, a 1/4" adapter, and a solid steel headphone stand. As seen in Uncrate Issue 03.

Grado x Uncrate UN2000e Headphones

Family-owned Grado Labs has been hand-making high-end audio equipment in its Brooklyn offices since 1955. That heritage made them an ideal collaboration partner, and these holy grail Grado x Uncrate UN2000e headphones are the result, and have been re-released this year in limited quantities. The company's original version — called by reviewers "very likely the best sounding headphones ever made" and "simply an audiophile work of art" — is an open-air design with internal maple parts and mahogany cups that combine with purpose-built 50 mm drivers to create a special resonance inspired by techniques long-used by musical instrument makers. To have ours sound and look our very own, we paired ebonzied oak cups — different types of wood sing with their own personalities — with the internal maple wood to produce an organic sound that's full of unrivaled detail, rich vocals, and a huge soundstage with deep lows. The bison leather headband and ebonized oak finish match our turntable perfectly.

Marshall Monitor Headphones

Marshall's stage equipment has been trusted for years by some of music's biggest names. Now you can trust them with your personal audio via these Monitor Over-Ear Headphones. Their 40mm drivers provide dynamic audio reproduction, with Bluetooth aptX support providing a high-fidelity wireless stream of music for up to 30 hours per charge. A 3.5mm port allows you to use them as a corded 'phone or share your wireless music, and the control knob also works with the built-in mics to let you take phone calls when needed. To ensure they look as good as they sound, the ergonomic, collapsible design incorporates black leather, brass accents and plugs, and a white script logo evoke the spirit of the company's vintage amps.

Drivers: 40mm Dynamic / Wireless: Bluetooth 4.0 aptX / Weight: 9.56 oz.

Master & Dynamic MW60 Wireless Headphones

Built from uncompromising materials with a design that's at once modern and timeless, these Master & Dynamic MW60 Wireless Over-Ear Headphones are meant to outlast any gadget you're streaming with. An exposed all-aluminum Bluetooth antenna is integrated into the design and gives them range far beyond competitors, while custom 45mm neodymium drivers provide lively, detailed, and well-balanced sound with plenty of low-end response. While their steel and aluminum construction gives them a quality heft, the leather-wrapped headband and lambskin-wrapped memory foam earpads help keep them comfortable for hours, with the latter providing impressive isolation. With a 16-hour battery life, the MW60's fully fold into the included canvas headphone pouch, and a canvas cord case, 1.25m-long 3.5mm cable for passive use, charging cable, 3.5 to 6.5mm adapter, and leather cable box are all included.
