SUDIO is a Swedish lifestyle brand which makes elegant earphones that are said to offer studio quality sound for a third of what they would have cost in stores.
Here’s what a brand new set of their signature Klang earphones will look like:
Unboxing was a lot of fun, as I found out. Each component came packed neatly in individual boxes.
How much do you think they retail at? The prices will be revealed at the end of this post. Be patient.
The Designer
Mats Wallsten is the designer behind Sudio. He was born on the Swedish island of Lidingö in 1988. The family of Wallsten has a long tradition of designers and Mats started working for his father’s yacht design house at the age of six. Matt attended one of Scandinavia’s most prestigious design schools, the University College of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm and he believes that a product should be intuitive and ready to use at all time.
The Sudio Story
It all started a few years ago when Sudio’s founders were looking for earphones. The market consisted of black electronic products as well as street and hip hop products which didn’t fit what they were looking for. They wanted a stylish accessory, like a watch or a belt, akin to a design style like Ralph Lauren within earphones. Thus, they decided to create the product they wanted to buy.
During the project, one of the founders was in New York and ran into musician Phil Collins, who was having problems with his earphones. As the product was still in the prototype stage and had no name then, all he could say to Phil was “Trust me, I know the feeling”. From that bittersweet meeting, the name “Sudio” was born — a homage to the Phil Collins song “Sussudio”.
Sudio does everything from design, manufacturing and sales to keep prices low. Currently, it has two products, Klang (S$60) and Två (S$45), and you can learn more about them via the official website. Both are available in four colours – brown, white, black and orange.

Klang works best for iPhone (3 buttons) and has one cord longer than the other for the stay-in-ear function whereas Två features one button only to fit all devices and with two long cords.

I have been using $10 Panasonic headphones for over 2 years now, and while I am proud that they have lasted so long and maximized it’s value, I do sincerely wish to upgrade to a better quality one. These Sudio Klang earphones look great and seem to fit what I need perfectly! On second thought I may just get these (in the event I don’t win them from you guys!) haha!
I would like to win this as a gift to my father in his birthday in May. His job requires listening to music but his current earphones is having problems at times so I believe this earphone will be his best work companion if I could win it for him. 🙂
I hope to win as Studio Earphones are well-known for its good quality products and I sincerely wish to own a piece to make listening to music even more enjoyable.
I would like to win as I have never tried Studio earphone before but always heard from my friends that it delivers quality music. Wish that I get to win this to be able to experience quality music daily! I like to move it!!! ^^

I would like to win this awesome pair of sudio earpieces because a good earpiece is like my next best bff everyday as I am always on earpiece when I’m on my move to work or at work. I would like to enjoy the awesome experience to my ears with sudio. I believe a good pair of earpiece is what makes a difference to the music we listen to.

I would love to have these as they’re incredibly stylish and would look right with even the snazziest evening wear.

I would love to win these earphones because I am really into the sleekness and simplicity of Swedish design and these earphones look like the ultimate ear candy!
I have always been an audiophile, placing a premium on good quality ear phones to maximise my music listening experience. Alas, my only pair of earphones just broke after years of extensive usage. Being a fresh grad and foraying into the working world means that I’m pretty strapped on cash right now, so winning this would be a bonus (and a great birthday gift as well. I turn 23 tomorrow! 😉 )
Studio quality sound? Bring it on!
