These 40-gram wireless headphones make it hard to imagine ever getting lighter
A lightweight on-ear design
Final’s Porta use an on-ear design held by a headband, with the structure formed from one piece of wire. The headphones weigh 40 grams. For comparison, Marshall’s Milton A.N.C. headphones, also designed as smaller on-ear models, weigh 200 grams. The Porta’s design has a loose resemblance to lightweight headphones Sony once bundled with its Walkman players.
Basic features and battery
A 57mAh battery charges through USB-C and provides up to eight hours of use. The headphones connect using Bluetooth 5.4 and support SBC and AAC audio codecs. The Porta do not have active noise cancellation, a feature often absent from on-ear headphones that do not form a full seal. Their IPX4 rating means they can be used in rain or during a workout without moisture damage, according to the article.

The Porta are available to preorder through Final’s online store for 12,800 yen, or around $80. Buyers can choose black or orange ear pads. Shipping is expected to start on October 23rd. Final has an Amazon shop for US customers, but the Porta were not listed there yet.
