These headphones present an accurate image of your music than ordinary headphones, allowing you to hear every nuance and aspect of your music. Therefore, having a good set of studio headphones is just as important as any other gear in your studio.
These headphones provide a fresh perspective to that mix you’ve spent hours mastering and recording, essentially giving you another set of ears.
Ideal for
Indoor Use
Open-Back Design
Headphones with an open-back design, allow air to pass through the earcups. This means that Open-Backs do not block any noise from around you, as closed-backs do, and music being heard will also leak outside to people around you. So they can only be heard in a quiet environment.
However, Open-back headphones do sound more natural and open. Open-back headphones create a feeling of space, presenting audio as if you are sitting at a live concert. Audiophiles swear by open-back headphones, and they sound quite different to closed-backs.
These headphones are perfect for critical listening sessions, mixing and mastering music. They have an accurate soundstage presentation and precise imaging.
Needs Amplification
Headphones and IEMs require a certain level of power to sound their best and work at their full potential. When your headphones or IEMs are underpowered, they can sound thin or muffled.
Amplifiers are required to provide adequate power to your headphone or IEMs to perform at their best. Simply put, amplifiers allow a weak audio signal to be boosted to a powerful one.
To put it into perspective, devices such as your phones and laptops come with an amplifier, but they offer very limited output power. This output may not be sufficient to power headphones and IEMs to shine at their best. This is where a dedicated amplifier is required to deliver adequate power to hear your music in all its glory.
Planar Magnetic Drivers
Planar magnetic drivers combine characteristics of several driver types. They employ magnetic fields akin to dynamic and balanced armature drivers. However, planar magnetic drivers, like electrostatic drivers, use a flat, thin diaphragm in contrast to a coil. The planar drivers are known for their quick transient response.
The Hedd Audio Heddphone is a technical marvel in every sense. It takes driver technology used in full-sized speakers and applies it to an open-back headphone for a speaker-like listening experience. Listening to music on the Heddphone is an experience unlike anything else, and I highly recommend it.

DESCRIPTION
A REVOLUTION IN HEADPHONE TECHNOLOGY DESIGNED AND MADE IN BERLIN
In Berlin, the HEDDphone was created from the ground up. The HEDDphone is handmade with great care and attention to detail as no machine can, thanks to the exact folding method and careful application of this unique design. Based on American-German physicist Oskar Heil's original Air Motion Transformer (AMT) technology, HEDD creator Klaus Heinz built the first compact and marketable AMT tweeter 30 years ago. Heinz began work on a full-range Air Motion Transformer in 2019 to establish a new ground for this superior transducer principle.
FEATURES WORLD'S FIRST FULL-RANGE AMT DRIVER WITH SUPER-LIGHT KAPTON DIAPHRAGM
Designed for recording artists, music producers, and audiophiles, the HEDDphone® is a cutting-edge headphone. It is the first full-range capable headphone based on the company's technology: the Air Motion Transformer, and it boasts gorgeous and hand-crafted Made in Germany components (AMT). The AMT is built on a super-light Kapton diaphragm which is folded into a magnetic field, as opposed to the standard voice coil, planar, or electrostatic designs. It is made up of several different-shaped folds that squeeze the air in and out, causing it to accelerate by a factor of three. As a result, the original signal is represented in an open, hyper-detailed, and realistic manner. The auditory benefits include increased precision, clarity, and realism in audio reproduction, faster transient response and better treble extension.
EMBEDDED WITH VVT® VARIABLE VELOCITY TRANSFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DELIVERING EVEN FREQUENCY RESPONSE
The HEDDphone uses the patent-pending VVT® diaphragm. This diaphragm extends the AMT principle to a linear full-range headphone transducer using the latest diaphragm geometry. This upgraded folded diaphragm lets air out four times faster and allows the playback of even the little nuances in the audio recording. Engineers modified the initial design by adding new geometries and a more sophisticated system of varied-sized folds to create an even frequency response across the entire audible frequency range. This method is known as VVT (Variable Velocity Transform).
EXCEPTIONAL BUILD OFFERING SUPREME COMFORT WITH SYMMETRIC 4-PIN MINI-XLR FOR EASY CONNECTIVITY
The solid body and functional design of the "HEDDphone" add to its unique architecture, being more reliable. The middle of the top headband piece has a notch, and the two side parts carry the brunt of the weight where the surface area comes into contact with the top of your head. This design means that after a few hours, there will be no hot spot in the middle, and the weight will be distributed to a more variable surface area laterally on the sides of your head rather than pressing down on the centre. The cups are also more tightly clamped inward, allowing part of the weight at the top to be relieved. Furthermore, the pads soften much of the clamp, preventing it from pressing against your jaw. There's a little cup swivel, so getting a good fit isn't a problem. All the materials used are of excellent quality, such as the vegan pleather pads, which provide superior comfort while also being acoustically treated to offer crystal-clear audio. It has a symmetric 4-pin mini-XLR for connectivity, which is rather convenient.

FAQs
What is the warranty on the HEDD Audio HEDDphone?
All HEDD Audio HEDDphone come with 2 year of warranty. To claim warranty read more on HEDD Audio warranty here.
Can I use the HEDD Audio HEDDphone for long hours?
The HEDDphone comes with extra soft earpads and it's over-ear design makes them comfortable to wear for long hours.
What is the impedance on the HEDD Audio HEDDphone?
The HEDD Audio HEDDphone Pro comes with impedance of 42Ω.
What do 'Impedance' and 'Ohms' mean?
Impedance is the so-called alternating-current resistance that headphones have under specific standard conditions. On devices with low output impedance, headphones are the louder, the lower their impedance is. In principle, we recommend that you choose headphones with low impedance for use on devices that are operated by battery/rechargeable battery (i.e. most portable devices such as smartphones, tablet computers but also notebooks). You can distinguish between high and low impedance. Usually, the gradations 18 Ω, 32 Ω, and 80 Ω are used in the low range. In the high range, 250 Ω are common. If you want to get the most out of your system (and it has the power to do so), choose a model with 600 Ω.

Customer Reviews
Weightwise, the Heddphone is a fair bit on the heavy side, but my oh my.. the sound is simply stunning.
They are the closest to desktop speaker sound quality I have heard in headphones yet.
The detail, the tight bass punch are simply outstanding.
Don't let the 42 Ohms impedance fool you. To make it truly shine some high power amps are needed to drive them but when it gets the juice, this headphone rises to the occasion and delivers sound that surpasses my LCD-X and Sennheiser HD800s,
It combines the bass punch of the LCD-X with the detail of the HD800s and adds its own flavor to the mix.
Highly recommended
So glad to know that you love them:) We look forward to serving you again. Happy listening!
I went to headphonezone studio to audition LCD-X. Came back convinced to buy HEDDphone instead after trying it out on Raghav's recommendation. For my personal preference, this does everything. Great detail retrieval, awesome dynamics and immersive sound stage. Vocals seems very present and I hear instruments and their placements that I have not heard in any other headphone before. I drive it with my Topping L30, A30 pro stack. Attached picture to show their chonkeyness.
Hey Syed,
Glad to hear that you liked our reccos. It was an absolute delight to have you here. Cheers!
Fabulous experience though fatiguing on the neck if worn for over 2 hours. I haven't had an end game headphones but brilliant sparkle with unsurpassed clarity. Bass is adequate and clear. Mids are forward but sweet, treble is shiny and highly tamed. Not at all shouty, but a refined Maybach. A heavy one though and needs power. Anything over 1 watt per channel will make them sing. I bought the gustard h16 and fiio q7 and they both have no problems at all driving the this behemoth. End game so far for me. The only thing ahead of these might be the American Dianas by Abyss Audio. I was wondering if could swap out the headphone cables with Audeze balanced xlr cables. I might try that soon.
Hey there, thanks a lot for your detailed and genuine feedback. We'll share your thoughts with the brand as well.
