A dedicated home headphone system and a wireless pair for travel often serve different listening needs. The new T+A Solitaire T Pro brings both roles together.
It combines a carefully engineered acoustic design with Bluetooth connectivity, active noise cancellation, and wired listening options. Studio Pro Mode adds dedicated digital conversion and analogue amplification for focused listening.
Now at Hi-Fi Centre, the T+A Solitaire T Pro moves easily between your home system, workspace, and carry-on bag.
Great Sound Begins With the Driver
At the centre of the Solitaire T Pro is a 42 mm dynamic driver with a lightweight, rigid cellulose diaphragm. T+A designed it to deliver a balanced, uncoloured response even in passive operation.
- Cellulose diaphragm: Combines low mass with rigidity for precise movement.
- Edge damping: Helps control unwanted diaphragm resonances.
- Optimized bass system: Supports controlled low-frequency reproduction.
- Passive listening: Allows wired playback without battery power or electronic correction.
The same driver reproduces your music whether you listen wirelessly or by cable.
Studio Pro Mode for Focused Listening
Studio Pro Mode activates a dedicated ESS Sabre ES9219 digital-to-analogue converter, paired with an analogue amplifier and analogue volume control.
A DAC converts digital audio into an analogue signal, which the amplifier then uses to drive the headphones. This dedicated signal path is designed for focused, high-quality listening.
The trade-off is battery life: up to 25 hours in Studio Pro Mode, compared with up to 50 hours in standard use. For a closer look at digital conversion and its role in your system, read our guide to buying the right DAC.
Wireless Freedom With More Connection Options
The Solitaire T Pro supports wireless, USB-C, and analogue connections, allowing you to switch between your phone, computer, and home audio system.
- Bluetooth 6.0: The Qualcomm QCC5181 platform supports wireless playback and Auracast.
- Wide codec support: Includes SBC, AAC, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, aptX HD, LDAC, and LC3. The codec used depends on your source device.
