Eskuché 33 1/3 S Headphones

(Photo Julius Kellar) Eskuché are a new headphone label in Australia that has come from the U.S. They have a very unique style about them, as described by Hyprebeast, “The vintage aesthetic is evident with some brilliant metallic finishes as an added contemporary touch.” In fact, their style has seen them used in a few pretty amazing fashion shows recently.

I had the 33 1/3 S’s to review which feature; interchangeable woven cloth cording which prevents tangling and includes a voice and audio cable (which is compatible with iPhones, etc.), 40mm driver diameter, 3.5mm to 6.3mm input plugs and super plush ear cups. The headphones have a bit of weight in them but were very comfortable to wear – I had them on for hours at my desk with no issues. The sound quality is excellent and blew away my old Sony MDR’s (which are about six years old now – so that was no surprise).

These retail for between $140.00 and $150.00 and are available through the stockists listed below. For more info, hit the website here.
