Our Take
The HEDDphone is a leap forward in headphone technology with the first of its kind Air Motion Transformer Driver. Read our full review.


From HEDD

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.

HEDDphone

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.

Big headphone for Big sound

I bought my HEDDphones from Bloom Audio. Andrew gave me great customer service. It’s the first time I’ve bought from Bloom Audio, but it’s not the last. About HEDDphones, well they are beautiful. Certainly, they are not light with 718 gr, but I often wear them for two hours and I don’t feel tired. Side sound, I love them. The soundstage is very coherent, the clipping of the instruments and the clarity of the voices is perfect according to my old ears. The depth and dosage of the basses give meat and presence. In short, I am very satisfied, I am very happy!

A great Audiophile headphone, did not cut it for Studio Work though

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 . 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 too 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 used 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 or Hifiman He1000se instead as my open backs. Heddphone leans towards Audiophile and listening to music for enjoyment only at least for me.

I mix on these.

After 20 years of composing for Film and TV, I’ve found a pair of headphones that are both inspiring and accurate enough to mix on. They have a transient response like no other. I can hear clearly into mix details - the most microscopic amounts of distortion, the smallest changes of reverb, the most minute details of resolution. If you’ve watch Life Below Zero on NatGeo this year, you’ve heard music mixed on these. They make a portable world class studio truly possible.

These are wonderful headphones

I am a recording engineer primarily of classical music. I rely on headphones for monitoring many live recordings and sessions since these often take place in concert halls, churches, and other venues with good acoustics and when monitors are not available. I own and have used a variety of excellent headphones in the past including HiFIMAN HE1000v2, Sennheiser HD800, Audeze LCD-3, Stax, etc. I prefer open back headphones unless background noise is too high. Recently, I have been using the HEDDphone headphone for a number of recordings that are being streamed including Timothy Chooi and Max Levinson (violin and piano) https://rockportmusic.org/concertwindow/ and an arrangement of the Goldberg variations for string orchestra with Emmanuel Music to be streamed in another week or so. HEDDphone is very accurate in the sense that I hear all the details in a natural way. Equally important for me, it also provides the most similar experience to listening over my B&W 802 monitors in my studio of any headphone I have used. It is almost uncanny how predictive these headphones are for what the recording will sound like in the studio and are the first headphones I believe would allow me to confidently master a recording without using monitors.
