Enjoy immersive sound with crisp and clear voice comms in your favorite games with the VZR Model One MKII

The VZR Model One MKII takes the original’s impressive spatial accuracy and refines it with upgraded tuning, comfort, and detail retrieval, making it one of the most versatile closed-back headphones in its class.

The result is a sound that works equally well for music, movies, and gaming, where accurate positional audio is critical.

Build quality is equally impressive with the VZR Model One MKII, featuring a steel-reinforced headband, carbon fiber elements, and plush hybrid earpads for improved comfort and acoustic performance. The detachable boom microphone delivers clear voice capture, while the removable cable system allows easy swaps for different setups - including a cable option with an in-line microphone.
