MetroBand

Live with rhythm.

Introducing MetroBand

The world's first haptic headband for rhythm.

Built for performance and creativity.

Musicians

Practice, sing, and conduct with silent pulses, not loud clicks.

Athletes

Lift, run, and train with steady timing and control.

Creators

Learn, dance, and record with better precision and choreography.

Our Design

What the future looks like.

The all-new MetroBand is exceptionally thin and light. At just 0.75 cm thin and 79 grams, it’s our most refined design yet. The hollow unibody design flexes naturally to the shape of your head.

MagLock

When engaged, MagLock transforms MetroBand into a single continuous loop. It reduces the footprint by 25%, unlocking entirely new ways to carry it.

3 buttons. Endless possibilities.

Tap Tempo

Press the Action button and tap 3 times. MetroBand instantly continues the tempo at the exact pace of your taps.

Direct Tempo

Hold the Up button and select an exact BPM using the Action button for +100, up for +10, and down for +1.

Haptic Control

Hold the Down button and use the up and down buttons to adjust pulse strength.

The Interface Revolution.

The first ambient interface of its kind.

Graphical User Interface (GUI)

Apple Macintosh. Point and click.

Touch User Interface (TUI)

Apple iPhone. Tap and swipe.

Haptic User Interface (HUI)

Walnut MetroBand. Feel and move.

Charge less. Live more.

The unibody design creates expansive internal space for our longest battery life yet. So you can charge less and do more.
