Our point of view

A workshop, not a warehouse

Kestrel began with a simple question: what would a listening object look like if it were made the way a good chair or a good knife is made? We work with a small in-house team and a handful of local suppliers, cutting, finishing and assembling in short runs. The result is not a gadget but a quiet object with a specific weight, a specific feel, and a specific sound that rewards the hours you give it.

The choices behind the object, from material to the last mile.

01 / Biocellulose

Biocellulose diaphragm

Layered organic fibre cut to a 40 mm dome for a controlled midrange character.

02 / Rear

Locking 2.5 mm connectors at each earcup; three lengths included.

04 / Friction-stay

Spring steel core wrapped in vegetable-tanned leather; no notches or clicks.
