PHONON Inc.

Born in Japan and founded by a team of audio professionals, PHONON creates headphones designed to capture the soul of music — not just the sound. With deep roots in studio engineering and DJ culture, the brand set out to bridge the gap between professional studio monitors and personal listening. The result is a range of headphones that deliver a natural, immersive experience with the spatial depth and bass response of real speakers.

At Groove Central, we stock PHONON’s most popular models, including the SMB-02, SMB-03, and SMB-01L — each designed for a specific listening style. Whether you’re DJing, mixing, or final-monitoring in the studio, PHONON headphones are tuned for precise imaging, warmth, and emotional connection. Most PHONON headphones reproduce sound in line with studio speakers, delivering tight, powerful bass and balanced midrange clarity — ideal for both professional work and everyday music enjoyment.

What truly sets PHONON apart is its artistic approach to design. The brand’s founders include experienced sound engineers, producers, and DJs who understand that great sound is as much about feel as it is about frequency response. Every headphone is carefully tuned and assembled in Japan, ensuring consistency, build quality, and that unmistakable PHONON sound — smooth, detailed, and fatigue-free even after long hours of listening.
