Porta
An on-ear wireless headphone released by Final whose headband and earcup supports are formed from a single bent metal wire, reducing the number of parts to achieve extreme lightness.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Japanese audio manufacturer Final has released a wireless earphone called Porta, featuring an on-ear design in which a single metal wire is bent into the headband.
The Porta earphone forms the headband and earcup supports from a single continuous metal wire, reducing the number of parts to a minimum and thereby cutting weight.
The single-wire metal headband structure offers limited room for adjusting clamping force, and users with significantly different head shapes may need to try it on in person to judge whether it fits.
The original text does not give a specific weight figure for the Porta, but describes its weight reduction as "hard to imagine it could be any lighter."
The on-ear design is inherently not advantaged in sound isolation and heavy bass performance; what the Porta solves is the conflict between comfort and stability, not the ceiling of sound quality.
The Porta suits users who are not used to in-ear models and whose ear canals easily become uncomfortable, office users who need to listen to music while staying aware of ambient sound, and users who prefer minimalist structural design.
