At Steel City, we know that if you’re putting your branding on a product, you want it to be perceived as really good quality. We choose headphone models that we know stand up to daily use, and we take a consultative approach to the details – like branding position, lead times, and specs – to ensure the final result is spot on.
Whether you’re sending these out for onboarding, ABM, events, or as a VIP gift, it’s those small details like case shape and print area that ensure the product lands well with the recipient.
- Headphone formats people actually use: We put forward a tight mix of TWS earbuds, on-ear wireless, premium ANC, and wired USB-C because each one solves a different “day one” problem, from commuting noise to laptop calls. If your team won’t want the hassle of Bluetooth setup or charging, the wired option is a brilliant way to ensure they can use them straight out of the box.
- Branding that looks the part: Our team checks print areas early and proofs to the curve of cases and earcups, so 1-colour print, full-colour print, and laser engraving sit perfectly and stay readable. We want to avoid logos looking off-centre or forced; it’s about ensuring your brand stands out and looks professional.
- Lead times you can rely on: We are transparent about options at 5 days, 6 days, and 12 days from proof approval, and we’ll always flag longer-lead premium choices if your brief allows. If you have an event date fixed, we’ll make sure we suggest items that will get there on time.
- Packaging that arrives perfectly: We prioritise compact TWS cases (~56 x 44mm; 60 x 47 x 25mm; 61 x 49 x 29mm) and small storage boxes (e.g., 71 x 72 x 19mm) because we know bulkier packs can struggle in the post. especially for welcome packs sent to home addresses, this ensures the item lands well without scratches or scuffs.
- Battery life that lasts: We choose models with clear specs on earbud batteries (30-50mAh) and case batteries (200-500mAh), with realistic playtime targets (up to 8 hours for earbuds; up to 40 hours for over-ear ANC). It’s really important the product is useful for the recipient in their working day, rather than running flat by lunchtime.
- Sustainability without the greenwash: Our range includes recycled ABS/recycled plastic builds and an RCS-recycled option because “eco” only works if you can evidence the material spec. If your team needs to tick those sustainability boxes internally, we make sure the claim is tied to something measurable.
- Built to last: Where the budget allows, we suggest models with replaceable parts like battery, headband, and ear cushions so one worn component doesn’t mean the end of the product. If you’re gifting premium sets, this ensures they are used over and over again, leaving a lasting impression.
More options available: The products shown above are our suggestions for a strong starting point—items we know work well regarding lead time, branding quality, and day-to-day usefulness. If your scale and timeline allow, our team can work with you to source alternatives that match your packaging, spec, or gifting tier perfectly.
