Over-Ear Headphones PDH80

With these over-ear headphones, Studio F. A. Porsche has developed a product for Porsche Design that fits seamlessly into a distinct product family. A defining feature is the horizontal division of the main body into individual bands, which visually reduces the volume and gives the products a light, technical appearance. This design concept has been consistently applied to other audio products such as the PDS50 wireless speaker, the conference speaker and the true wireless headphones, creating a distinctive, consistent design language across the entire range.

Premium materials and exclusive appearance

The design of the PDH80 combines three major aspects of Porsche Design’s DNA: high-performance, premium materials and functionality. Large earcups deliver maximum comfort, as well as an exclusive and iconic look. The two earcups are fixed to the headband by a metal C-hinge which combines maximum flexibility with an extension mechanism.

The headband and hinges, crafted from precision-machined aluminium, not only give the headphones an exceptionally high-quality feel but also define their distinctive look.

The clean lines, minimalist design and uncompromising choice of materials reflect the design philosophy of Porsche Design. The result is an elegant, timeless look that characteristically combines technical precision with minimalist aesthetics.

The Porsche Design PDH80 features powerful 50 mm neodymium drivers and offers active noise cancellation (ANC), which effectively reduces distracting ambient noise. Users can choose between four modes: ANC Off, ANC High, ANC Low and Ambient Sound. An integrated microphone with echo cancellation ensures clear voice transmission during phone calls.

The Porsche Design logo engraved on the right ear cup also acts as a touch control. You can conveniently control music playback, skip tracks and adjust the volume by tapping, pressing or swiping. An automatic wear detection feature pauses playback as soon as the headphones are removed. They also switch off automatically after five minutes of inactivity to save energy.

The battery life is also generous: up to 75 hours of use is possible without ANC, and with noise cancellation activated, you still get an impressive 50 hours.
