Here at Nixon watches and headphones we make the little shit better. The stuff you have that isn't noticed first, but can't be ignored. We pay attention to it. We argue about it. We work day and night to make the little shit as good as it can be, so when you wear our Nixon watches and headphones, you feel like you've got a leg up on the rest of the world. We believe that you deserve a lot of respect. When you choose to wear a Nixon watch, or select headphones to listen to your favorite thumps, or want to put the final touch on your steez, you deserve to have something that reflects your entire package. You may not know how to say it, but you've got something to say. Dammit brothers, you can't slap on an off-the-shelf piece and consider yourself you. Can you? That's why we started Nixon watches and headphones and that's why, 8 years later, we're still the leader in style and substance.
Nestled comfortably out of the way up against the pacific ocean in southern California, and tucked neatly next to the best surf in Europe, you'll find Nixon people doing what we do. What started as a frustration at a lack of quality watches that simultaneously do the talking for you and deliver what you need in various high stress work and play environments has grown into a network of athletes, rock stars, retailers, and dedicated loyalists that bring Nixon watches and headphones to market.
Some people look at professional skateboarders, surfers, and snowboarders and mistakenly think they know what they're looking at. Stereotyping can get you in trouble. Their skills are ridiculous, yes, but their experiences reach far beyond that handrail on the corner. Their actions are focused on perfecting their sports, but their interests and style are anything but focused. Their perspectives are unique, yes, but their needs are universal. It is our job to reconcile the former with the latter. Nixon hand picks those riders that are leaders in their sports and works with this elite group to make sure their perspectives contribute to a single unified expression: team designed, custom built.
Nixon’s launches into the personal audio category with the introduction of three custom designed, custom built headphone models; The Master Blaster (an over-ear studio quality headphone), The Nomadic (an on-ear travel headphone) and The Wire (an in-ear headphone). Built from the ground up after two years of research and design, the inaugural line of custom headphones will retail between $40-$200.
The Master Blaster, available in three colorways, is a lightweight and durable piece that boasts DJ quality sound and is topped of with leather details for the ultimate in listening comfort. The Nomadic, a compact and collapsible model, is made with stainless steel, durable nylon and custom molded foam. This perfect travel companion comes in seven color options and is also available for use with your cell phone. Designed with a minimalist point of view, ergonomic fit and soft touch application, the small dog with a big bark of the bunch is The Wire. The Wire delivers robust sound in a comfortable little package and is available in eight color choices and with two-way cell phone compatibility.
In support of this new category for the brand, Nixon has secured world-class athletes and musicians to the headphone team. Andy Irons, Bruce Irons, Andrew Reynolds, Paul Rodriquez, Danny Davis, Mos Def and Trouble Andrew round out a prolific mix of personality and style to further the product development process.
“Having the ability to re-think the product development from the ground up, how you want to use it and the way you use it has been a fun challenge,” states Nixon’s Marketing Director, Chad DiNenna. “The team’s involvement all the way down to the audio sampling process, matching the music they listen to most with how this product will perform, elevates the product for everyone. I’m excited for people to discover the product.”
