Linstol and Denon are enhancing the inflight experience with class-leading sound

Linstol, part of the Hoffmann Family of Companies, has unveiled its latest luxury headsets—now taking flight in the French airline market to elevate the inflight experience for First Class travellers. Launching in April 2025, the headsets are set to redefine inflight audio luxury and performance. 

Developed in collaboration with the renowned premium audio brand Denon, the headsets feature class-leading sound and embody a sophisticated reimagining of a timeless classic.

Linstol said it partnered with Denon to reimagine the brand’s timeless over-the-ear headphones. By developing innovative new machinery, Linstol brought this vision to life, with a seamless blend of heritage and cutting-edge technology.

"We are thrilled to introduce this new innovation," said Mark Russell, CEO of Linstol. "These bespoke headsets are engineered to deliver an exceptional inflight audio experience, combining premium sound fidelity with ergonomic comfort for long-haul use. Developed with sustainability in mind, they are crafted for repeated deployment across multiple flight cycles. Their robust construction and rotable design significantly reduce waste, offering a long-term, environmentally responsible alternative to traditional headphones."

Designed with first-class passengers in mind, the premium headsets would retail in the "high hundreds," Linstol said—underscoring the exceptional product quality. Tailored to seamlessly integrate with any airline’s inflight entertainment system via a custom connector, the product delivers the elevated comfort and an immersive sound experience prestige customers expect.

Speaking on behalf of Denon, Tom Henderson, Director of Partnership Marketing, said, “We are delighted to bring Denon’s famous audio performance to passengers enjoying the first-class experience. Combining Denon’s signature sound and refinement with Linstol’s comprehensive understanding of in-flight entertainment has resulted in a collaboration that will delight customers and offer industry-leading sound.”

Linstol will showcase the new premium headsets at WTCE this week. Visit Booth 4E30 to check out Linstol’s full range of inflight passenger headsets and amenities.
