Gadhouse unveil Wesley: retro-inspired headphones straight out of the ‘80s

Fully wired for your USB-C smartphone

EMBARGO: 9am BST, August 25th.

Gadhouse, the audio brand known for reimagining vintage design through modern engineering, announces the launch of Wesley, a new line of headphones that channel a golden age of portable music listening: the 1980s.

“The Wesley headphones are a tribute to an era when music was tactile and deeply personal,” said Petch Watcharaphon, CEO of Gadhouse. “We wanted to revive the spirit of the decade with a design that feels both timeless and relevant today”.

Lightweight, comfortable and versatile, Wesley is designed to be an all-in-one daily companion. At just 105 grams, it delivers comfort without sacrificing durability. The in-line mic and intuitive controls make switching between music and calls seamless, while plug-and-play connectivity ensures instant use, no charging required...

More than just headphones, Wesley is a statement piece: a nod to the era of mixtapes.
