Meters by Ashdown has its background in live pro audio, so, knowing how demanding life on the road is, the new NOVU-1 Studio Reference headphones are designed to last and be easily repaired; the cables and ear pads are replaceable.

Additionally, the NOVU-1 Studio Reference feature custom-designed 50mm dynamic drivers, a gold-plated 1/8-inch (3.5 mm) stereo mini-plug with included 1/4-inch (6.35 mm) threaded adapter, and a carry bag.

Meters by Ashdown was founded by Mark Gooday, chairman at Ashdown Engineering who makes bass amps and speakers for acts including U2, Foo Fighters, Arcade Fire, The Who, Pink Floyd, Sir Paul McCartney and Black Sabbath. Its products are immediately identifiable on stage by the glowing VU meter.

However, where the entry-level NOVU-1 Studio Reference displays the new 'VU meter logo', working VU meters feature on several Meters headphones models and even its £59 Meters Cubed wireless speakers.

The Meters NOVU-1 Studio Reference headphones are available now for just £69.
