From $1,290Reserve Meridian
01Form
A wool knit band over a floating steel spring, and cushions so deep your ears never touch the driver. Each arm sweeps into the back of the cup in one piece, and clamp force is set by hand on every unit.

02Control
Turn the knurled ring around the right cap for volume and tap the glass to pause. The ring is cut from one billet and clicks through 32 detents, like the bezel of a dive watch. The glass is sapphire, so it never scratches.
03Inside
Every part is screwed, never glued. Any Solenne workshop can open a cup and replace a driver in 19 minutes, for as long as you own it.
04Finish
Each colour is anodised in small batches and matched by eye against its velour. Pick one to see it on the headphone.
Sand · Champagne gold, sand knit, bone velour
Since 1986 · La Chaux-de-Fonds
Forty years of watchmaking taught us one thing. Silence is a material, and we machine it.
Sound signature
Every Meridian is tuned on an ear simulator to within half a decibel of our target, then signed by the acoustician who measured it. The card ships in the box.

Not for sale. Each exists as a working unit on a bench in our lab, and each breaks a rule we used to think was fixed.
Halo
Prototype 4 of 7Lab review 2028
No headband. Two ceramic shells hold their place under a floating carbon arc, steadied by a magnetic field that learns the shape of your head in three seconds.
Prism
Prototype 2 of 5Lab review 2029
Sapphire shells you can see straight through. An ultrasonic ping maps your ear canal every 90 seconds and retunes the drivers while you listen.

“I mastered a whole record on Meridian before I trusted my monitors again. The low end tells the truth at any volume.”
“Eleven hours from Nairobi to Amsterdam and I forgot they were on. That has never happened to me with a closed back.”
“The knurled ring is the volume control. Every guest who picks them up turns it once and smiles.”
