Until now there have been two types of headphones—closed and open. We were struck by the fact that there were none that allowed us to change from one state to another according to the user’s situation and preferences. So, we decided to design ones.
A unique, impeccable, and transparent sound, but with two different acoustic experiences by simply rotating the outer shutter discs to open and close the acoustic chamber of each headphone.
In closed mode we can isolate ourselves from the outside world and enjoy music with acoustics similar to that of a recording studio or a small venue. And also, we won’t disturb those around us if we are on a train, a plane, an office or other public space.
The open mode provides a feeling of open space, as if we were in a large concert hall or outdoors. What’s more, by reducing reverberation, we gain definition.

The most practical and, at the same time, accurate way to quantify sound quality is with laboratory measurements that record reality objectively.
Throughout the development of the Palma, we have carried out countless tests until obtaining data and curves that border on perfection.
And we like them so much that we measure each set of headphones produced to verify that they meet our requirements, and we provide this information with the product documentation.
Sensitive, chameleonic, communicative, son of flamenco artists… This guitarist broke the mold by introducing the electric guitar to the flamenco world, and the flamenco duende to the universe of jazz. Since his first album, “Gitano Cromático” from 2003, Jaco Abel has toured the world many times playing with artists such as Estrella and Enrique Morente, Niña Pastori, Joaquín Cortes, Ketama, Jimmy Smith, M’Shelle N’Dege O’Cello, Candy Dulfer, Tower of Power, Luis Salinas, Larry Harlow, Jovino among so many more.
These days he is working on his new album and a documentary about his musical life. We owe a lot to Jaco, his opinions and inputs have been fundamental for the development of the DHS-1. We invite you to discover one of the great musicians of our country, it is well worth it.
Whatever the experts and measurements say, in the end it is you who has to validate the sound of our new headphones. Send us your contact information and we will let you know where and when you can put the Palma DHS-1 to the test and see if they meet your demands.
The convertibility of our headphones makes them a good companion, wherever you go. Therefore, they are supplied in a practical carrying case that protects them from impact and where the cables and other accessories fit so that you can always carry them with you and enjoy your music.
