Konohazuk H3

The first Konohazuk series headphone set that offers the finest of Japanese quality and has a limited impact on the environment. We are taking headphone design to the next level by researching modern hand crafting techniques, using natural and earth-friendly materials, and placing an emphasis on delivering a high-quality sound that comes out crisp and clear.

Music through wood

Development in woodworking technology has produced a variety of musical products, such as percussion instruments and string instruments. Additionally, many audio speakers and acoustic panels in concert halls are also made of wood. From a scientific perspective, it has been found that the reverberation and attenuation rates of sounds within wood are suitable for the listeners.

The H3's body is made of Japanese beech wood that maximizes musical sounds. This not only adds value to the H3, but also sets it apart from other headphones, making it special and unique.

Japanese Craftmanship

The wood that makes up the H3 originates in the Iwate Prefecture. The flexible headband is constructed out of thin sheets of wooden veneer that are gently applied in a curved shaped in order to fit any head size. Every ear-cup is carved precisely on a CNC machine and hand finished and polished. Memory foam ear pads covered in soft PU leather and stitched fabric provide extra comfort for wearers.

Acoustic Sound Quality

The H3 has an enhanced 40mm speaker driver, finely tuned in order to create a balanced, natural sound. The ear cups offer effortless noise isolation, and minimize any ambient noise. Beautifully constructed with a look that is sleek and simple, with natural properties and characteristics, these headphones are guaranteed to provide an audio quality that will create a pleasant experience for any user.

Comfort while Listening

In order to achieve a comfortable fit while wearing for long periods of time, we have developed a unique joint mechanism to flexibly adapt to various heads sizes. The band made of molded plywood is able to withstand a sufficient amount of lateral pressure. It has the ability to adjust to your head gradually while you are wearing it. Furthermore, because of the soft ear pads, your ear will not tire, even after long periods of listening.

Minimal Design

These are not simply a pair of headphones, but crafts created out of natural materials that are simultaneously minimally designed, environmentally friendly, and finely constructed in such a way that will guarantee their users to love and enjoy them after every use.
