Clear sound. Easy calls. A calmer way to listen.

Over-ear wired headphones for people who are on their phone or laptop all day and want to rely less on Bluetooth, without giving up good sound.

You know that moment.

Four hours into back-to-back calls, headset on since breakfast, and the battery warning pops up again. Air Tube headphones are the wired, low-fuss alternative: plug in and they just work, all day.

  • No Bluetooth, no pairing, no battery to run flat
  • Built-in mic and controls for calls and playback
  • Comes with a compact zip carry case

How it's different

What makes "air tube" different?

In normal headphones the speaker sits right at your ear. In Air Tube headphones the speaker sits further down the cable, and sound travels the last 12.7 cm to your ears through a hollow air tube, the same idea as a doctor's stethoscope.

So you keep the convenience of familiar over-ear headphones, with physical distance between your head and the powered speakers.

Only air reaches your ear. The electronics stay further down the cable.

Small switch, every day

Why people make the switch

Not because they're overhauling their whole routine. It's one small, deliberate choice about something they use for hours every day: their headphones.

  • Choose USB-C or 3.5 mm to match your phone or laptop
  • Over-ear cushions isolate you from background noise
  • Adjustable headband for long, comfortable sessions

Questions

Air Tube headphones: your questions answered

Straight answers on how they work, who they suit, and getting the right version.

What are air-tube headphones?

Wired headphones where the speaker sits further down the cable instead of at your ear. Sound travels the last 12.7 cm through a hollow air tube, so only air, not electronics, reaches your ear.

Will they work with my phone or laptop?

Choose the version that matches your device: USB-C for most newer phones (iPhone 15 and later and most Android phones), tablets and laptops, or 3.5 mm for anything with a round headphone jack.

Older iPhones with a Lightning port need Apple's Lightning to 3.5 mm adaptor with the 3.5 mm version.

Are they good for phone calls?

Yes. There's a built-in mic and in-line control for answering calls and controlling playback, so they suit work calls, video meetings and voice notes.

Does the air tube change the sound?

Sound is clear and natural for calls, podcasts and music. As the sound travels through air for the last stretch, bass is a little softer than in typical headphones with the speaker at your ear, which many people find easier on long listening sessions.

Are they noise cancelling?

Not active noise cancelling, which needs powered electronics and a battery in the earcups. Instead the over-ear cushions physically block outside sound. That works well on everyday noise like voices, keyboards and the TV, less so on constant low hum like plane engines.

How do I make them last? What does the warranty cover?

They come with a 1-year manufacturer warranty against manufacturing defects. To keep them working: pull the plug, not the cable; don't bend, crush or tightly wrap the air tubes; and store them in the zip case.

Damage from pulling the cable, crushing or bending isn't covered. If sound drops in one ear, check the tube isn't kinked and the plug is fully in, then get in touch at chat@bodybud.co.uk.
