Got mines for a month now. I have many other medium and high end headphones (Audio Technica, Senheiser, Sony, Technics, AKG, Grado....), but for the punch and grease of metal, it's really the ones I enjoy the most, especially, for death, thrash and bands with a rasp sound, the mediums punches make me smile often like a kid. It reminds me of my Ultimate Ears Triple Fi wich where rellly good for metal too (and I still use occasionally). For the Kickstater price, they are fabulous, I don't regret a second. And even at retail price, I don't see a set I'd exchange it to and woud put the price without hesitation. To feel a gap you have to really put a lot a more money, and most don't have this raw live power we find here. Special mention to the power on/off/connect/hellblocker voice, it's glorious. Now make us some nice shells on a budget.

I have been a total opposite. my heavys have been put away as gimicky meh. i prefer my meze 99 classics and thieaudio ghost. i dont really care for anc headphone tech and was hoping these would be much more amazing with those features turned off and more analytical. instead i have some lossy sound that makes me favor continuing to use audiophile headphones with cable rather than these overweight monsters. I'm not saying it's bad but it definitely has a colored sound i'd like more imaging and clarity and dynamics. maybe with eq it will do better but i dont want to be handling eq all the time. i actually found them better for jazz than metal in some cases

I´m one of the backers myself. Love these headsphones. Great sound, nice to wear, great battery life and the case is actually not that big. One thing that no one mentions, but is actually the greatest feature (which MX4 and MX5 never mastered) is the dual bluetooth connectivity. I use my Heavys for work where they are constantly connected to my laptop and phone at the same time. It works - fails sometimes if I switch to quickly between devices, but most of the time it isn´t a problem. So I can proudly wear my Heavys at work, with the statement that they really do support my daily work, where I often switch between devices.

The highs are good, the mids and clear, the bass is strong but crisp. These have a very energetic sound signature. I've listened through albums by Metallica, Iron Maiden, In Flames, Pain, Judas Priest, Muse, At The Gates, Devin Townsend, Rammstein, Arch Enemy, Tool, Eskimo Callboy and more. Everything has sounded great! Always used them with my Apple TV to watch movies. I've listened almost exclusively wireless to HiFi with Deezer for music.

It simply stucks there. Because its like a drug. OUTSTANDING WORK, HEAVYS TEAM. Who is Beyerdynamic? Ah the ones with the cars right? Every guitar is presented like it should be, the bass roars and the double base blast bombs right into ur head. The groals let you feel like the lord of darkness has been fallen down to tell u something and u will hear details, never heard before. As a used listener of the DT-1770, I don't miss a thing I got more. Maybe its my test system: Aune S9 headphone amp, Aune X8 Magic DAC, double Sparcos Ss2590 pro op amp and now the Heavys H1H.

I know alot of people have been talking about these headphones but im pretty skeptical. Like i can plug my headphones into a reciever on max volume and literally hear my phones two entire floors away. The issue is they bleed ALOT so you do lose alot of audio due to that. Everyone around you will be hearing your music clear as day from up to 20ft away. I love my Xb1000s. I paid about $280 for them when they came out. But the heavys have caught my eye.

Yea i kinda liked the heavys more. The sound is way better to me. Abit much on the treble but its better than not emphasizing it like the Sonys. (Ps I just got mine 2 days ago) I think when the EQ comes out, it can be improved to one's own taste. I tried changing a song using an equalizer on comp and when I used the Heavys I was very impressed. As for the ergonomics I think its fine. I rather have the on anc off button as it is so I can rotate between on and anc. I ratger not try my luck and push the button across the spectrum coz if it fails, i cut my music off. The volume and track knobs are easy to use so I cant complain. The ear muffs are spacious and it doesnt squish my ears. So its a big win unlike my earlier marshall heads which heats my ear up. Living in a humid country, it can be annoying. Compared to my earlier heads which is the Marshall ANC Monitor (Over Ear), Heavys straight up wins. My marshall has been stuttering to no end and has the faulty air ANC sound, when I tested the Heavys, it didnt even stutter or produce any airy sound. (Ps. I had to change my Marshall 3x and they all ended up the same 🙄). And the best part is the customizable shells. Can't wait for more designs to come!!!

I got mine about 3 weeks ago and without Wavelet app, they are just super average headphones, heavy headphones. Don't know if I'm used to all my other different headphones, but these just don't have highs and mids. With Wavelet compensation they sound fine, don't feel that heavy on head (only in hand) and look different. What I hate is the final choise of earcup covers - during the campaign they looked more like pressed carbon or something. Now with the velvet-smooth finish, they will end like every other product with that finish - scratched, greasy and finally, super sticky getting all the dirt that comes around them. I wish the Heavys team will introduce a firmware updating tool and let users get the best out of these headphones, because I don't have Wavelet on my PC and because of that I still have to get my Superlux HD662F. Lastly, AUX on these headphones is super hungry, I have Topping DX3 Pro and it pushes a lot of juice to headphones to make them play compared to Superlux or Beyerdynamic DT770 I own.

Lost my xm3's in a move and need to replace them. If I listened to just metal, I'd get the Heavys in a heartbeat, but I don't. While the Heavys sound clearer, they also sound more distant if that makes sense. While most headphones I've tried that had this exact problem sound muddy or tunnely, these tease the f*ck outta me because they sound that clear. As an elder emo who always wanted a metal leaning headphone, I absolutely love the sound profile of the Heavys. But that distance causes them to lose themselves and it's evident on the back end of that sound test. I can spend less on a pair of xm4's, or even a pair of Momentum 4's at that, and be even more satisfied with listening to everything else I listen to than I would with the Heavys; at least at a reasonable volume.

I got mine just today and i´m unbelievably dissapointed. I´m seriously wondering whether my pair has broken tweeters because they´re dullas hell. But from what i´ve found online many people seem to feel this way about their sound. At the same time it´s quite possible that we all got very different sounding headphones ... my pair got shipped directly from Hong Kong and even got a broken knob on it. So there seems to be no,/ or at least neglectable qualitiy control. Still they respond terrebly to Eq. When boosting the Highs it literary sounds like trumpets blasting in your ear, nothing beyong 6-8k audible. When pulling the bass it uncovers just how little transperency there is. I can literary not hear Reverb and Hall on some Songs that i can clearly hear on my cheap jbl headphones.... Also the Sony XM5 in this video sound way more scooped and bright than they actually are. The XM5 also react to EQ way better, to the point where you can actually adjust your experience in a meaningfull way. I can only imagine your headphones sound vastly different from my pair. Otherwise i don´t understand how you got to your conclusion

Hi Voitcu! 😃 maybe i can help :) I have over 100 earbuds, 75 headphones over the ear (mixing, anc and others). Here's the solution: the heavys headphones are very heavy headphones, for mixing it's really not the best solution. I prefer headphones like audio technica athmxbt2 or mx wired (they all have stupid names haha). Heavys weight over 392 g. So, be aware that they are not the best for mixing, training, run or travel. Secondly, for the sound quality: the SQ on the heavys is terrible !!! If you want to mix, the are the worst ! No trebles at all !!! And i am not joking ! The bass is super muddy, not tight bass, the vocals are recessed, they sound like they are coming from a can. Oh by the way, sorry for bad english i speak french :) If you want to mix with those headphones, you will be decieved ! The instruments separation is one of the worst that i have heard, the detail...details? None !!! But what is positive with those headphones? They sound very loud !!!!!! If you want to be immersed by the sound, they are for you! But if you need details, instruments separation, tight bass, clear vocals, DO NOT BUY !!!!! I can't believed that mister Grell has made those headphones !!! I tried to EQ with amazon hd music. A little bit more trebles, but same muddy bass (bloat bass, nothing tight !!!!). I have them in the case and they will rest in the case until i sell them 😂 The company told on their web site in 2023: we will launched an app at the end of 2023. We are in 2024 and no app at all !!! They wrote now: the app will launched at the first quarter of 2024... hahaha... one month left heavys, hurry up !!! Thos company can't respect their promesses and their client, so any credibility for me !! So, if you want loud sound and big immersion, go for it. For the rest, don't buy those headphones !!!! Go for DT1990, audio technica, sennheiser open back hd600 (with an amp, you will be blown away by the sound). Want a little bit bass, go with the hd660 s2 :) Hope this help

I don't think these are comparable. The heavys are very specific, and very distinct in what they output. The Momentum 4 is the better Headphone overall in terms of ANC, battery life and compatiblity. And, for me, i use them as my primary Headphones.

If you are a metalhead looking for pair of headphones - keep looking! H1H is not for you. They are not tuned for metal, unless [insert any boy band name here] is what you consider to be metal.

@@LeechTM Sure, sound over AUX connection is awfully poor, it sounds muddy and think. BT and digital is a bit better, but is still base heavy, guitars and vocals are muted. The only genre of metal I can think of, that would sound okish (without some extensive EQ work) if funeral doom.

Had mine for 3 months and yet to turn them on and pair them, I got them ad a Kickstarter backer and waited a solid 2 years so whats another 3 months, I'll get around to it soon. I'll look forward to hearing how they go to some Heavy tunes including anything with a thumping bass melody. Don't like the aesthetics of the controls though, hopefully version 2.0 will address these concerns especially that silly On / ANC / off switch, what was the physical design team thinking !?!

I got mine a month ago ... with analog cable included and I orderd an extra long analog 2.5 to 3.5 cable as well ... the ANC is realy not the best, but its enough to block my playing son in the living room and it lowers the A/c sound as well to almost silence ...fact is that my bose 35 has retired! and I started using the H1H also in meeting, die to the very clear sound on spoken voices. BT 5.1 I use only with my Phone ... on the computer I use an USB-C cable (not the one what came with the HEAVYS ;-) one thing I miss ... switch off the charging when conected with USB-C cable... and the switching ON/OFF for BT tranparent mode (very usable in public) with the 2 buttons is ... lets says a pain in the a... ... on longer tracks it not only swith the mode, it also starts the track again or skips to the next song 😞 - hopfully with the coming app this can be done within the app and not with the hardware buttons 🙂

Yes same here. I actually own the pair and I'm sure many others do too. This is a very independent creation so we know what's going on. The Audio from Heavys "H1H" are not very good. They lowered the Highs and Mids to protect hearing and only lowers the quality of the Sound. Vocals from Operas, Pop Singers and yes even Vocals from Metal genre are all held back because the headphones holdback the HIIIGHS. Then there's the Bass or the Warmth of the Audio, they set that too high creating an audio that Muddles Highs and Mids and only further Muddles guitar, bass, drum work. Oh also, we're able to use the headphones through Auxiliary cable, but that audio is also ruined because the DAC needs to be turned on in order for the headphones to process audio. You can also hear audio without turning On but the audio quality is not the same 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️

@@tsohgallik I don't think leech was being dishonest. He probably enjoys metal that works well with heavy bass, e.g. nu-metal, djent, industrial, etc. For someone like me who prefers MDM, OSDM and speed/thrash metal, the Heavys sound signature does not suit my needs. I prefer a headphone tuned to the 2013 Harman Curve; metal DOES need bass but too much ruins it (so does too much treble). I'd also suggest the Harman Curve for most classical music.

I got mine today and yes, they sound exactly like you described: Muddy, where bass drowning everything. I have nothing in the same price range to compare, so I can’t say whether or not they’re good for their price - maybe they’re incredible, IDK. All I have are Audeze Maxwell and Steelseries Arctis Pro, and they both sound way better than Heavys, which I guess is expected given the price difference. I never expected Heavys to come close to Maxwell anyway but I kinda hoped they wouldn’t be this much worse than Arctis Pro, at least for metal music, as the Arctis series is mainly for gaming while Heavys is designed for listening to metal music. On the good part: Very comfortable, looks solid AF, and has great controls. I hope they release a firmware update or something to balance things out. I don’t want to believe this is bad for hardware reasons.
