The Oboe street headphones are arriving in new colors this season and provide the same audio quality you’ve come to expect from WeSC. The WeSC headphones boast a futuristic design based on vintage headphone classics. With detailed features like a woven audio cord that comes short with an extensioner for easy on-the-go use, the Oboe is also lightweight and not as bulky as headphones with similar audio capabilities. Super soft ear pads and super stylish color-ways make sure your ears feel and look good.

Technically speaking, the WeSC oboes have 30mm power drivers and a 20-20 frequency range. With an impedance of 32 Ohms, the Oboe headphones from WeSC opens up your music to the wide range of sounds that have been going on which you may be missing if you’ve earbuds on when listening to music.
