SPIRITLAND OPEN A DEDICATED HEADPHONE LISTENING SHOP IN
MAY FAIR
Spiritland was born out of a desire for people to engage with the music they love in the deepest possible way: to hear music as the
artist intended, to connect with the emotions within and to be transported to a musical wonderland, without compromise.
This vision for excellence in sound quality has been much lauded over in the past year by Spiritland’s Artistic Director Paul Noble.
“There isn’t a more engaging or involving way to listen to music than through one of the carefully selected 20 headphones and earphones, by high end brands such as Audeze, Chord, Sennheiser, Astell & Kern and more. This specially curated selection of personal audio will enable each music lover to enjoy music in the most sublime way - on the move or in the comfort of their own home.”
The newly launched West End boutique on New Burlington Street, London is a curious shaped shop, friendly would be a good way to describe it, but when Paddock Life discovered it as we were walking past one day, we were made to feel incredibly welcome and the small space felt more inviting than intimidating.
The small but perfectly formed shop, nestled between the luxury shops on Savile Row and Regent Street, sells some of the world’s nest personal audio equipment. Uniquely, the Spiritland Headphone Bar allows guests to demo the equipment side by side and at leisure, with a Japanese whisky in hand.

To compliment the selection of headphones, Spiritland Headphone Bar also sells ampli ers and digital audio players for listening to music in its highest possible quality.
Check out the Spiritland headphone Bar, but be warned it’s not for the feint hearted (or walleted) you won’t nd a pair of Beats in here, just serious quality cans for those who really appreciate their sounds. The staff are experts, handing us different sets as we made comments, these are the kind of headphones top musical engineers mix albums wearing, so you’ll hear everything as the Artiste intended. If you like your tunes and your gadgets be warned it could be a very expensive but incredibly rewarding afternoon - especially if you’re partial a bit of Japanese whisky.
