HEDD Audio HEDDphone (Latest Revision) | Open Back Air Motion Transformer Headphones

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!

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.

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.

Very pleased

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.
