Elblag, Pomerania - three pairs of headphones, five fans
Sound where you sit, air where you stand.
Three pairs for different rooms and five ways to move air without a floor unit: a translucent wired on-ear, a hybrid wireless pair, a volume-limited set for a school bag, then a desk fan, two handhelds and two travel fans. Every unit charged, run for an hour and listened to before it was listed.
Open the audio shelfTwo shelves, one bench
Three pairs of headphones on one shelf, five fans on the other. Every product page states what was measured and how, so the number you read is the number that came back.
A fan is judged in its second hour, not its first minute
Any handheld fan moves air for five minutes. The question is what it does after forty, when the battery has warmed and the motor has settled, so every unit here is run flat out until it stops and the time written down rather than copied from the box. Headphone cups are worn through a commute and the clamping force checked afterwards; cables are bent at the plug two hundred times. The slower speeds are measured for noise at arm’s length, because a fan you cannot stand next to is not a fan you will use.
Five fans, one bench
A desk fan with a night light, two handhelds that fold or clip, and two travel fans. Each card opens on the speed, the noise and the running time we measured.

The four questions we answer most
Before you plug it in
Short answers, with the same numbers that appear on the product pages. Open one to read it.
How long does a charge actually last?
The running time printed on each fan page is measured at the highest speed, from full until the motor stops. On the middle speed a handheld will run longer than that figure; a desk fan left on the top speed will not. Headphones are quoted by the hour and by the pair, because a wired pair draws nothing at all.
Can the kids headphones be used on a plane?
Yes. The volume is capped at 85 dB, the cable ends in a standard 3.5 mm jack, and the cups fold flat enough for a seat pocket. The cap cannot be raised by the child, and the microphone on the cable still works for calls if the airline allows them.
What happens if a device arrives faulty?
Write to us within 48 hours with a photograph of the device and the parcel. We replace it or refund it including the delivery charge, and we cover the cost of sending it back. The statutory two-year guarantee of conformity applies whether or not the fault appears in the first week.
Do you ship outside Poland?
Yes. Poland takes one to two business days, the rest of the European Union three to six, and the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Norway four to eight. The cost is calculated at checkout from the address and shown before you pay; there is no handling fee added afterwards.
The close-up: hinge, grille, cable
A folding fan lives or dies at its hinge, so the pivot is cycled open and closed a hundred times and checked for play before the model is accepted. The grille on the desk fan is moulded in one piece rather than snapped together in three, which is why it does not buzz at the highest speed. On the headphones the cable enters the cup through a strain relief that bends rather than pulls, and the microphone sits on the cable where a hand naturally holds it.
Before it goes in the parcel
Run down, then recharged
Every battery is discharged to cut-off and recharged twice before the unit is boxed.
Noise at arm’s length
The lowest speed is checked with a meter 40 cm away, because that is how close a desk fan sits.
