Fantastic Beasts. Here’s where you find them.

Designed to handle serious headphones with ease.

Brilliant Bluetooth. Hi-Res Wireless.
The xDSD Gryphon sets the standard for wireless connectivity with the latest QCC 5100 series Bluetooth v5.1, supporting cutting-edge formats like aptX Adaptive, aptX HD, LDAC™, HWA/LHDC, regular aptX, aptX Low Latency, AAC, and even SBC
