Sounds good: The SHIFTsound SP!
You know us: We like good music and we like useful products. However, since our over-ear headphones, as the only member of our SHIFTsound product family so far, felt quite lonely, we treat it – and of course us – now loud company.

Note: The SHIFTsound SP is still in the crowdfunding phase. For orders from January 22nd, 2024, delivery is planned for the end of March.

It’s worth pre-ordering!
Your pre-orders are the only way this great project will become a reality. In this way, you enable us to develop devices according to our ideas, but also according to your ideas, without investors and their profit expectations. Because your pre-orders are so important, we are offering lower prices.
We originally needed 111 pre-ordered SHIFTsound SPs. And you have already cracked it!!
After less than 24 hours we can announce that we are already above the funding threshold. This is how the SHIFTsound SP is produced. Thank you so much! You are GREAT!

Sustainability, Reparability, Fairness!
Breaking new ground means a lot of development work. In many places we cannot rely on tried and tested methods. As a small company, we do not manage all developments alone, but work with suppliers and partners in certain areas. We have built a network of suppliers with whom we enjoy working because good relationships and trusting relationships have been established. We want to rely on the expertise of these partners because they understand why SHIFT is so important to us. Sustainability, repairability and fairness are not the primary issues in the smartphone industry – but they are very important to us.
