Headphones with a Balanced sound signature presents a precise sound and an enriching listening experience, where sounds are naturally presented without extreme emphasis on any region. With a pair of headphones with this sound signature, you can hear audio with clarity and detail. The sound is vivid and revealing, a perfect mixture of instruments and vocals, lows, mids, and highs. This sound signature works for most music listeners who like switching between various music genres like Classical, Jazz, Blues, Rock, Folk and Pop.

These Wired Headphones are designed for discerning music lovers. If you are someone who cares about audio quality deeply, you'll want a pair of Wired Headphones like these. You can expect these Wired Headphones to present you with a refined listening experience. The audio quality exhibited by these Wired Headphones is a beautiful mix of musicality, technical brilliance and high precision. These Wired Headphones deliver a spacious and open soundstage that compares listening to music on actual speakers.

As the name implies, anything branded a studio headphone will have been designed especially for use in a studio setting, with a particular focus on accuracy and transparency for monitoring and mixing. 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 piece of gear in your studio. These headphones provide a fresh perspective to that mix you’ve spent hours working. Essentially, giving you another set of ears.

Headphones with an Open-Back design are rather special in that they allow air to pass through the headphone ear cups to the speaker. What this means is that since open-back headphones don’t block surrounding noises as closed-back do, you’ll be able to enjoy an immersive sound experience. The sound is more natural and high fidelity due to the lack of pressure build-up. Open-back headphones create a feeling of space, presenting a feeling as if the musicians are all sitting around you. These headphones are perfect for critical listening sessions and mixing and mastering music due to their accurate soundstage presentation.

If you plug your wired headphones directly into your phone or laptop, you are probably not hearing them at their best. This usually happens because the amplifier in your phone or laptop is not capable enough to drive your headphones to their best. A dedicated headphone amplifier is an elegant solution for this, and it can power your wired headphones to their maximum capability. When you invest in a good pair of wired headphones that are hard to drive, it's worth getting a dedicated headphone amp as it will make your headphones sound even better.

Planar Magnetic technology has been around for decades and headphones with Planar Magnetic drivers present a more detailed, more coherent representation of the music. Planar Magnetic driver features a series of magnets on both sides of a very large, flexible diaphragm containing tiny, electrically charged wires. When an audio signal is passed through it an electrical conductor moves between fixed magnets, reproducing sound waves. Headphones with a Planar Magnetic driver deliver an accurate and distortion-free audio signal.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

FREQUENCY GRAPH

CHEAT SHEET

Regions of the frequency spectrum

SUB BASS
(20Hz - 80 Hz)

The first section of the frequency spectrum is the sub-bass. Everything below 80Hz is sub-bass, so generally, you need a subwoofer or a good pair of headphones (open-back headphones, for example) to hear this region. This region comprises instruments like the Kick Drum and the Bass Guitar. You should be able to hear Sub-Bass if you’re listening on monitors or headphones. But if you’re listening on a laptop or a phone, there’s no way you will hear that.

MID BASS
(80 Hz - 300 kHz)

After the Sub-Bass region, we get into the region known as the Bass or Mid-Bass. This region consists of everything between 80 and 300 hertz. In this area, we’ve got instruments like bass guitar and the low end of a snare. Lots of the low-end vocals as well, because male vocals are going to have the fundamental below 200Hz in most cases.

LOWER MIDRANGE
(300 Hz - 1000 kHz)

Next, if you go from 300 Hz up to 1000 kHz, this is known as the Lower Midrange, and this is a crucial region for music because this is where you get a lot of buildup with guitars, vocals, and even the top-end of the bass guitar especially. Lower Midrange is an area guilty of adding mud to a mix and clarity in this region lifts a track exponentially.

UPPER MIDRANGE
(1 kHz - 6 kHz)

Human hearing focuses inherently on this frequency range. So it’s crucial to get this range right. This region consists of the main focus of the track (e.g. vocals) and synths. Be aware that this is also where you can start to get into harshness and aggressive tones.

TREBLE
(6 kHz - 10 kHz)

After the Upper Midrange, we’ve got the Treble region between 6kHz and 8 kHz, and this is where things start to get harsh. This region is where we have brittleness from instruments like the Hi-Hats and Cymbals. This is also a crucial range for clarity and aggression, especially for female vocals.

AIR
(10 kHz - 20 kHz)

At the end of the frequency spectrum, we get to the Air region or the Top End. This region consists of everything above 10 kHz. This is where we have air and this is where we get a sense of shine and sparkle in our music.

"HEDD Audio has managed to create a high end headphone which brings freshness to the personal audio world. Bass goes deeper and especially the sub bass is remarkable."

"The Hedd Audio Heddphone is something very special: Here, the so-called Air Motion Transformer (AMT) is used in a headphone, and also as a full-range driver.

"What an outstanding tour de force HEDD Audio has released, what you get is such a transparent and true to life listening experience that they will melt away into the background once you put them on."

"I'm thrilled to report that the HEDDphone does live up to the hype. More importantly, this release changes the landscape for high performance headphones."

"The speed and definition of the HEDDphone’s treble exceed that of any planar and most DDs. The HEDDphone represents the first decently implemented, commerically available AMT headphone."

"They sound great, in a way that’s actually useful for mixing and mastering. Something of a technological breakthrough. Enter the HEDDphone, and a fourth driver technology that eliminates this compromise."

"It’s no secret by now that I had an enjoyable time listening to the HEDDphones. I think they are an absolute beast of a headphone that not only innovates in design but sounds impeccable as well."

"I’m pleasantly surprised that HEDD Audio could produce such versatile and good-sounding headphones in its first try, using a technology that has never been tried in headphones."

Stellar Sound

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!

HEDDphone review

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!
