LUZLI ROLLER MK02 REVIEWS

  • The Luzli Roller MK02 is the best luxury set of headphones on our list

    For the most high-in-the-sky option for high-quality over-ear headphones, we found the Luzli Roller MK02. With an aesthetic that’s reminiscent of high-end watches, the Luzli Roller is meticulously-engineered for precise sounds and extreme comfort.

    Made of pure aluminium and stainless steel, these headphones are built to last. Its unique linked headband conforms to your head, allowing for a custom feel. The sound engineers behind the Luzli Roller helped craft a warm, detailed sound presentation that is worth every bit of the higher investment.

    Each headset is hand-made. There is only one size. There’s a reason for this: Each headset is flexible enough to fit into your life, no matter what.

    With its innovative segmented headband and weighty metal feel — as well as its higher price point — the Luzli Roller MK02 is the best luxury set of headphones on our list.

  • Luzli in Financial Times Online

    The conductor Otto Klemperer said, “Listening to a record is like going to bed with Marilyn Monroe’s photograph.” Klemperer died in 1973, but while listening to these new headphones from Swiss startup Luzli, I wanted to say to him, “Have a listen to this, mein freund, and tell me if that’s still your view.” To be fair, there was some decent hifi around in his lifetime, but to be listening to music on the move would have required a pre-Walkman cassette player and some stenographer’s headphones. I, meanwhile, was playing 24-bit HD recordings (each track bigger than the entire hard drive of a 1990s laptop) on the £1,999 Astell & Kern SP1000m player I featured last month, paired with Luzli’s extraordinary Roller headphones. (The smaller silver pair sells for £2,880, the larger for £3,840, which makes them among the world’s costliest.)

    Luzli’s headphones are amazing on two counts. The first is their physical form, which is unique. The headbands are reminiscent of an oversized aluminium link watchstrap, and I learn they are indeed made on a premium Swiss watchstrap line. The mechanical quality is superb. They roll up into a sort of dense, metallic croissant. The smaller, MK01, retracts to an 8.4cm diameter roll, weighing 206g; the larger, to 10.7cm at 334g. This means that you can fit audiophile-quality over-ear cans into a (albeit fairly capacious) pocket, or if you go for the MK02, a corner of a travel bag. And the audio they produce would cause Herr Klemperer to drop his baton. It is nothing short of stupendous for what is effectively a travelheadphone. One caveat: don’t waste your time plugging them into a phone – their quality will make ordinary recordings sound like mush. Either use an HD player like A&K’s, or a sound-enhancing amplifier like the £399 ifi xDSD I reviewed last November, or a Chord Hugo. Oh, and let the Luzli “run in” for a couple of hours. Mine were mushy for a while, but they soon loosened up to unleash their gloriousness.

  • Swiss-made headphones offer the ultimate audio quality to match the unwavering attention to detail

    “All headphones are largely the same, right? They are either large can-like things that go over your ears and pump noise into them, or they are little buds that go in your ears and pump noise into them. The folk at Swiss company Luzli will disagree, as their over-ear creations have more in common with luxury, high-end watchmaking than the sort of headphones you see athletes and wannabe rappers wearing in crap music videos. With headbands machined from pure aluminium and stainless steel, the same high-quality materials more commonly associated with premium watches, Luzli’s designs offer a great fit, resulting in outstanding comfort for those longer sessions”

  • NEW ‘ROLLABLE’ LUZLI ROLLER MK02 HEADPHONES ARE THE COOLEST

    “Luzli’s precision engineering means they are designed to last a lifetime. The cables and foam ear pads are also replaceable so they are a great investment. What is its philosophy? Luzli says it is about “small scale rather than mass-produced; local rather than global; long-lived rather than designed obsolescence; and personal rather than commodity”. Globetrender applauds this kind of thinking”

  • Luzli’s Ultra-High-End Roller MK02 Delivers Flawless Audio

    “Luxury audio brand Luzli has drawn upon its manufacturing background to construct the new Roller MK02 design, alongside a new black finish for its more compact Roller MK01 design. The Basel-based company is recognized for the craftsmanship of its headphones, the quality, and detail of which have been likened to luxury watches”

  • Luzli’s Roller MK02 headphones take design inspiration from Swiss watches

    “Great skiing, Lindt and Federer: we have a lot to thank Switzerland for, and that’s before we even get to all the lovely luxury watches the country is famous for. And it’s those internationally renowned tickers that Basel-based Luzli had in mind when designing its new MK02 over-ears”

  • These luxury headphones roll up so you can carry them around

    “Basel-based Luzli says it spent three years in development. Custom dynamic drivers were developed for the new headphones – 30mm for the MK01 and 40mmfor the MK02. Luzli says that the baffles, acoustic chambers, foam earpads and bass ports were all specially-tuned for these particular headphones”

    Pocket-lint 4/19 – Dan Grabham

  • Luzli’s Roller MK02 headphones are inspired by luxury Swiss watches

    “As with its siblings, the hand-made MK02 features a patented roll-up headband design – made up of several watch-like ‘links’ – so they can fold up into a small ball. This make-up of multiple links and springs also supposedly aids flexibility when it comes to fit”

  • Luzli introduces new ultra high-end Roller Mk02 headphones

    “Swiss brand Luzli has launched its new ultra high-end Roller Mk02 headphones that are uncompromising in their approach to design and sound for the best audio experience possible.

    The design aims to offer the perfect balance between comfort and style. They offer portability too, with the headphones able to be rolled up into a ball and stowed away in a bag or hand luggage”

    trusted reviews 16/4/19  – Kob Monney

  • These Swiss watch-inspired headphones could last you a lifetime

    “Even if you take the utmost care with your headphones, it’s unlikely that they’ll last longer than a few years; technology moves on, parts degrade, and what was fashionable a few years ago, becomes wildly uncool with alarming rapidity.

    That’s something Swiss-British design company Luzli hope to change with the Roller MK02 headphones”

    techradar 16/4/19 – Olivia Tambini

  • SWISS HEADPHONE BRAND MAKES UK DEBUT WITH ROLLABLE DESIGN

    The Swiss-made headphone maker says it brings a level of craftsmanship to headphone design more commonly associated with luxury watches”
