Therefore, we have planned and released the HA-S99N, wireless headphones that are lightweight and comfortable to wear, so that you can enjoy listening comfortably even when worn for long periods of time in a variety of environments. In terms of weight reduction, we have adopted a honeycomb rib structure on the back of the housing while ensuring the strength of each mechanism and parts, resulting in the lightest*1 body in Victor’s history at approximately 195g.

In terms of sound quality, it is equipped with a high-quality driver that uses a high-magnetic neodymium magnet to achieve a well-defined sound, and is also equipped with three sound modes that can be switched according to the song or mood. It is also compatible with the smartphone app “Victor headphones,” allowing you to customize the sound to your liking with a parametric custom equalizer and change key settings for various operation buttons.
