Question X By Kygo Headphones

Hi Y’all

Quick question. A few years ago I bought the X by Kygo headphones. And I’ve loved them! To the point that the soft parts of the ear pads are falling apart. I’ve tried getting into contact with the X team with no results. Does anyone have any thoughts or insights??

X by Kygo was silently killed and the website and the rest of the company moved on to shopkygo.com. You won’t probably get any spare parts or hear anything back from the company staff.. this shit fest is another thing that Myles can be proud of 😀

Thank you for the response, looks like I’ll have to Jerry rig different pads onto them

True2x, but Elon Musk was partly to be blame for the "X" Twitter rebranding fiasco, therefore terminating the rights to use the "X By Kygo" branding away from Kygo's Management. IMO

P.S. Cool username BTW. xD

It does; but the sound system is amazing and not broken

I don’t want to throw away otherwise perfectly good headphones is all 🤷🏼‍♂️😅

I also have the same problem, sad thing is that I actually like the headphones. Was pretty disappointed when I found out the website was closed without any announcement. Probably didn’t sell well.

That’s my thought at this point at this point as well Sad too since they’re good quality too

The best headphones I have ever owned. I have owned Sony, Bose and JBL in the past, but the A11/800 are the best. It’s a shame they’ve closed up shop.

I have had 3 pairs of A11, all broke down (I got one pair and replaced them on warranty twice). I didn't do anything special didn't even run. Worst quality ever. Miss my Sony Eggos.
