I wanted to highlight one of my favorites: Repeat Audio (formerly Gerrard Street). They’ve been pioneers in modular, fully circular headphones—100% Dutch design (TU Delft), one of my friends who studied there put me onto this.

Since 2014, they’ve been recycling broken parts and offering free repairs for life with a no-questions-asked policy. I’ve been a customer since 2016, swapped a few parts over the years, and even got a free upgrade when they rebranded. Had a great chat with one of the founders back then, which only made me more of a fan.

They were doing modular headphones long before some bigger names jumped on the concept. Repeat is now getting some pretty big national artists jumping in to support their mission, so I’m hoping they’ll do cool collabs and swap-outs in the future.

Does anyone have experience with them?

Those look great! The pricing is pretty complete too compared to comparable models from bigger competitors (with worse repairability).

I have a bunch of nice Dutch stuff already - time to add one more I guess?

Any other Dutch stuff you’d recommend?

Not Dutch, but Flemish. Loop earplugs switch model is pretty dope. 3 levels of earplug dampening with no electronics, just some acoustic engineering.

stroopwaffles?

Off the top of my head, my Secrid wallet is big one! It's a little gimmicky but the best wallet I've had for a very long time and the build quality is amazing. I went for one I could which would accept notes as well after seeing some German colleagues with them.

But otherwise it's mostly bicycle stuff to be honest which isn't as exciting or fancy!
