    Audio46's Opinion

    The HEDDphone is all about clarity. In terms of detail, few headphones come close. With respect to other sound characteristics, the bass is tight and extends well into the sub-bass. The staging feels vast, especially in terms of width. Vocals remain clear and intimate, thanks to a subtle forwardness in the midrange. The timbre is relatively neutral, striking a perfect balance between richness and brightness. Beautifully balanced, expansive, and ridiculously transparent, we have nothing to complain about here.

    A New Chapter in Headphone Technology

    HEDD is proud to introduce the first full range Air Motion Transformer headphones to audiophiles and recording artists worldwide. The Air Motion Transformer (AMT) is an electrodynamic transducer that allows to move air significantly faster than common voice coil, magnetostatic (planar) or electrostatic systems. Their traditional piston-like movement is overcome by a folded diaphragm that squeezes out air four times faster: A breakthrough for capturing more details in a musical recording.

    30 years ago HEDD CEO and Chief Engineer Klaus Heinz designed the first compact and marketable AMT tweeter based on Oskar Heil’s original Air Motion Transformer invention. Since then he has increased its sonic quality in several fundamental revisions. The 2019 version of the AMT can be heard in HEDD´s innovative Series ONE studio monitor line.

    Recently Heinz has focused on developing a full range Air Motion Transformer to break new grounds for this superior transducer principle. In order to reproduce the complete audible frequency band (and beyond), the HEDDphone® incorporates VVT® (pat. pending). VVT® introduces a new diaphragm geometry that expands the AMT principle to a linear full range (10Hz–40kHz) headphone transducer. It replaces the fixed geometric structure of conventional AMT drivers as the folds vary both in width and depth.

    The HEDDphone® introduces a fourth transducer technology. It brings the enormous dynamic capabilities and the superior sonic resolution of the AMT principle to the world of top-end headphones. HEDDphone® excels where it really matters: in accurate, untamed, and touching music reproduction.

    Great, but it has it flaws from Audio Production stand point.

    I am audio engineer. The clarity, detail, separation of instruments, and soundstage is great. I has 3D sound, but not surgical to reveal errors . Sounds come from the back, top, and side. The Sound is in between Planar and Electrostatic. Its closer to a warm natural sound. These are not bass heavy, the whole spectrum is lean to flat sounding. My main issue, is that these were marketed to music producers/engineers and they have it wrong. The sound is to spacious, smooth, warm and full bodied and not that dynamic. The timbre is not snappy or sharp how I like it. They are not revealing enough to pin point errors in music. Sound engineers need aggressive, intimate and microscopic detail. I use sources such as Sound reference, Waves and Can Opener to get the sound ready for mixing or mastering. I have Dan Clark Ether C as my close back and they are awesome for my needs. I will go with the Audeze MM 500 instead as my open backs. Heddphone leans towards Audiophile and listening to music for enjoyment only at least for me.

    Great for a 3D Hifi Listener, but did not work out for me as a Mix/Master Engineer

    I am audio engineer. The clarity, detail, and separation of instruments, and soundstage is great, with an almost 3D sound, but not surgical to reveal errors .

My main issue, is that these were marketed to music producers/engineers and they have it wrong. The sound is too spacious, smooth, warm and full bodied and not that dynamic.
