Key Features
- Hear Every Detail - Whether you’re streaming hi-res lossless audio or building your FLAC file collection, you are investing in a higher quality listening experience. Groove unlocks the full potential of that experience, revealing definition, clarity, and details like you have never heard before.
- Work on Your Music Anywhere - With professional headphones, your laptop and Groove, you can mix or make music anywhere. Groove’s reference quality sound insures you will hear every detail of your project as it would sound in the studio.

Whether listening through earbuds or “hi-fi” headphones, you’ll discover a new level of fidelity, clarity and detail.
