HEDD - HEDDphone TWO
Please note: This is an open box product, packaging has been opened and demonstrated to a customer, but product is in as-new condition.
hand-built in Berlin, Germany
HEDDphone TWO has been crafted by Berlin based HEDD Audio, with a discerning eye on the needs of mastering engineers, mix engineers, and producers, but it will surely captivate hi-fi aficionados and also the broader spectrum of consumer headphone enthusiasts.
Powered by new advances in Air Motion Transformer (AMT) technology and user feedback from the original Headphone model, the new HEDDphone has undergone a turbo-charged evolution.
With a folded Kapton diaphragm over three times larger than in traditional
dynamic, planar, or electrostatic driver designs, the sound of HEDDphone TWO has
reached new heights with regards to precisely tailoring subtle transients and creating
a transparent, natural musicality. It produces a speaker-like, evenly balanced
soundstage with stunning definition, permitting long listening periods with very little
fatigue.
Several breakthroughs have been achieved in the three and a half year process of
developing and designing HEDDphone TWO. By reconstructing the driver from
scratch and using lightweight materials like carbon fibre and magnesium, the HEDD
R&D team was able to achieve a staggering 25% weight reduction from the first model.
An all new mechanical design was developed in order to make the product more compact and
durable.
A patent is pending for the all new unique headband (HEDDband) that provides
users with a true custom-comfort-fit experience. HEDD have invented a
smart strap system, allowing parameters like height, width, curvature and even the
clamping pressure to be tweaked to the individual head shape and taste.
To ensure highest flexibility straight out of the box, this includes a carrying
case as well as additional balanced / unbalanced cables, making it easy to take
HEDDphone TWO safely wherever you need to, or even on holiday (if you are like our Tom) .
Heavy users will also appreciate the spare set of ear pads for prolonged usage.
The extensive material and reliability testing results in HEDD offering a rare and
extended 5 years’ warranty for these headphones.

'The Uncompromised Fidelity That The HEDDphone Is Known For'
the spirit of innovationThrough our proprietary technology and spirit of innovation, we are uniquely situated
to deliver the pinnacle of headphone technology just when the world needs and
appreciates it most. We knew that our AMT driver would successfully form the sonic
foundation for the HEDDphone TWO, however, the three-and-a-half years of product
development was no ordinary venture.
Take, for instance, the fresh and innovative
approach we adopted in designing the headphone headband. This creative process
took us through a staggering amount of iterations and enhancements, culminating in
our final design which holds a pending patent. As for the driver, the AMT underwent
meticulous refinement to ensure a featherlight construction that still produces the
uncompromised fidelity that the HEDDphone is known for.
User Experiences
Users often liken the experience of wearing the HEDDphone to receiving a "warm
hug" for their ears. The headphones create a spacious soundstage, with powerful yet
authentic low frequencies, wide dynamic range, and transients that genuinely
capture the essence of the musical content – akin to being immersed in a studio
rather than just having drivers next to one’s ears.
HEDD maintains and cherishes its deep and symbiotic relationship with its users,
weaving their insights into the very fabric of the company's evolution. This not only
helps us envision the use cases for our products, but it informs the development of
our products. We permanently interact online and in person with our users to keep
this dialog open. Through this effort, we took notice that many creators have become
inseparably bonded with their headphones to the point where the headphones have
become the main monitors during production and mixing.
One example of a professional user is Blue May, a renowned producer and mixer,
who has recently relocated from London to Los Angeles. He had become
accustomed to working in professional recording studios in the U.K. for the likes of
Joy Crookes and Lilly Allen but now finds himself working in an improvised studio
space at his residence in the States. This shift in work habits has pushed him to
spend much of his time working with headphones, rather than studio monitors. He
was initially attracted to the comfort and natural sound of the HEDDphone and he
has grown to trust the sonic results that working on the headphone produces. He
attests that his mixes, sculpted through the lens of HEDDphones, possess an
elevated resonance. His mixes, as he puts it are “a little bit better than when I was
mainly on speakers.”
Similarly, mix engineer David Yungin Kim hustles between studios, and often
between the U.S. and Korea, while trying to efficiently mix records as part of
superproducer Hit-Boy’s team. Kim’s work has led to platinum and Grammy-winning
records by BTS, NAS, Nipsey Hustle, and Post Malone. He is often seen shrouded
by a pair of HEDDphones while grooving to the beat of one of his mixes. Kim says of
the HEDD monitors and HEDDphones, “When I’m mixing, I’m looking for a monitor
with balanced low frequencies and I want the highs to be tamed a little bit. There are
some speakers I’ve used in the past where I get ear fatigue and have to take a
break, which isn’t efficient. I find with the HEDDs that I can listen to them for a long
time. The low-end is nicely defined, the mids are accurate and my ears don’t get
tired listening to them.”
HEDD crafts its flagship HEDDphone TWO headphones for audio professionals with
a remarkable fusion of cutting-edge technology and meticulous craftsmanship. A
result that also resonates with the discerning ears of audiophiles. This is the
narrative of HEDD – an ever-evolving symphony of innovation delivering not just
audio products, but transformative auditory journeys.
