Aiwa might not be the first name that comes to mind these days when you think about gear for audiophiles, but the company has a long history of making audio products and they’ve always offered great sound quality. In other words, don’t it a comeback when you check out the hot new Aiwa Arc-1 Bluetooth Headphones and Aiwa Exos-9 Portable Bluetooth Speaker and find that the sound quality completely blows you away. Aiwa’s new Arc-1 headphones sport a great design and impressive battery life, but sound is the star of the show thanks to their 40mm dynamic biocellulose composite drives and AptX support. Then there’s the Exos-9 portable Bluetooth speaker, and we’ll let the Amazon reviews do the talking — it’s gotten more than 1,350 ratings and almost 90% of them are 5 stars!

Aiwa Arc-1 Bluetooth Headphones

  • ► Incredible sound: The Arc-1 uses a 40mm dynamic biocellulose composite speaker driver to deliver the most clear, distortion-free, rich sound from the lowest bass to the highest treble. When combined with the 24-bit DSP and aptX & aptX Low Latency codecs, this level of sound quality has never been seen in the Arc-1’s class before.
  • ► Amazing comfort: At a super-light 252 grams, the Arc-1 sits comfortably on your head with protein and genuine leather pads for comfort through all-day listening sessions.
  • ► Premium Accessories: The Arc-1 comes with a rugged travel case and durable nylon-woven, anodized aluminum-housed 3.5mm aux audio and USB cables.
  • ► Futuristic features:The Arc-1 can connect to two Bluetooth audio sources at once – like a phone and laptop. A friend can also share your music by wirelessly connecting their headphones (any brand works) to the Arc-1 using the Qconnect feature – share music on the go anywhere!
  • ► Amazing Battery – The Arc-1 boasts 20 hours of music playback and 800 hours of standby time. And when it’s finally time to charge, you won’t have to wait long – the Arc-1 can play up to 3 hours from a 15 minute charge.
