Premium lifestyle brand Porsche Design and KEF, an originator of British high-fidelity sound, have collaborated to develop a trio of Hi-Fi systems embodying the refined style of Porsche Design and the peerless sound of KEF. Gravity One, Motion One and Space One offer the most demanding consumers a new level of design and audio performance.
This collaboration stems from Porsche Design’s desire to deliver Active Noise Cancelling headphones along with Bluetooth headphones and speakers, which are also essential to today’s style-savvy business travelers. In order to craft head-phones with sound that matches the excellence of their design, Porsche Design partnered with KEF, a company with its own long-standing heritage and reputation for high-fidelity sound and refined aesthetics.
Designed by the renowned Studio F. A. Porsche in Zell am See, Austria, the Gravity One Bluetooth speaker’s winged design, crafted from a single piece of aluminum and black accents showcase Porsche Design’s distinctive design language. KEF’s signature sit-anywhere’ Uni-Q technology projects sound 360° around the room for total freedom of listening, while configured back-to-back, twin force-cancelling auxiliary bass radiators cancel out unwanted forces and distortion, leaving only clean, natural bass. Bluetooth Qualcomm aptX audio support provides CD-like quality sound without wires, a dedicated microphone, controls for calls, backup power for mobile devices, a 3.5mm aux-in for other devices and up to 10-hours of play time make it an ideal Bluetooth speaker.
The Motion One in-ear headphones feature brushed aluminium housings with a titanium finish and high-contrast black soft silicone neckband which perfectly complements the professional attire of today’s global traveller. Precision engineering with Hi-Fi grade materials, expert tuning and advanced acoustic engineering create tight bass, spacious mid-range and crisp high-tones for a listening experience far bigger than their size.
A powerful antenna optimized for uncompromised music transmission ensures sound is rich, accurate and natural. Listen to music the way you want to: connect to compatible smart devices wirelessly using Bluetooth Qual-comm aptX audio for CD-like quality sound, or use an optional cable for high resolution audio. A pivoted outer edge allows the headphone cable to be placed over the ear for additional support, while an ergonomic shell, angled to fit the ear canal, provides a comfortable fit. Water resistance, and a built-in battery offering 10 hours of playtime ensures a premium Hi-Fi listening experience from commuting and travelling, to running and exercising, while integrated telephone functions are included on the neckband for complete ease of use.
The over-ear Space One active noise-cancelling headphones feature a bold and distinctive use of aluminum in their shells, with a sandblasted titanium finish. Every element has been intricately tuned and styled to craft headphones, which deliver the confidence of Porsche Design, while creating superior KEF sound. Inside, KEF’s specially-tuned active noise cancellation eliminates external noise without affecting the nuances and details that bring music to life, preserving smooth high-tones, lush mid-range and tight bass for total musical enjoyment. Engineered for high-fidelity sound, it uses 40mm drivers together with a large 20mm neodymium magnet and a lightweight copper-clad aluminum wire voice coil. Racetrack around-ear pads made from breathable, sweat-resistant leatherette over memory foam provides extreme comfort, allowing for hours of wearing. This trio of Porsche Design sound products provides a new range of essentials for the discerning listener, all with class-leading KEF acoustics and iconic Porsche Design style.
