HEDDphone V2! Hands on and impressions

[@jirihorsky9600]

I have always hoped HEDD would make a v2 version of their headphone. V1 always felt like HEDDphone 0.7.5. (like a proof of concept) in that it wasa really unpolished as a commercial product in certain areas.

[@Mishael_Agyei-Boamah]

This looks interesting. Might swing by an audio show to demo And Resolve smiled. Well done HEDD Audio for making the man smile

[@thomashorne6032]

Love the new format with sound samples. Hope this continues as the new norm on the channel 😊

[@TheHEADPHONEShow]

Those are not sound demos!! Just tracks I listened to for my first impressions

[@disastrousemouse]

@@TheHEADPHONEShowYeah, but it gives us a good idea what you use to assess headphones (or “Heddphones” in this case).

[@TheJediJoker]

Shoutout for including The Pineapple Thief! Bruce Soord is one of the best rock mixers out there right now. Great track, too.

[@syanhc]

I listened to this several times this weekend. Amazing sound.❤

RESOLVE SMILED, LETS GOOOOO (5:20)

[@impuls60]

Having seen the vid with measurements before this video I must say HOLY shit you where spot on with the frequency response estimate!

[@nathanberger618]

To me Resolve, this has been a great review. No measurements and no EQ involved, just your initial impressions of the headphones!

[@bernamej]

THAT’S the music you use to audition?!!!!!!?!!?! Oh my.

[@dwijenrao1776]

2 standouts for me at canjam london were the hedd2 and the atrium closed, managed to get an a/b done on hedd1 and the hedd2 and found the hedd2 retaining all the best features of hedd1 and to me the mids and treble were smoother and yet the presentation was a touch more detailed (besides the relief of much lighter weight)

[@HEDDAudioGmbH]

Thank you for your ears! ;)

[@theodorezurla496]

Looking forward to the reviewing wine to headphone parallel video 🍷🎧

[@balllovewow]

I think I saw Sony MDR-MV1 ..reviews coming soon?

[@carminedesanto6746]

Just picked up the AUDEZE LCDX 2021 Creators package …and it’s damn nice. It also shows me what you ( and other reviewers) actually mean when describing the performance. Have a great weekend.

[@kwarrenmusik]

I'm definitely want to try the HEDDphone next to the LCD X to see which one I prefer.

[@carminedesanto6746]

@@kwarrenmusikThat’s a great pairing to compare and contrast with.👍

[@Lishkabro]

Love my LCD-X , coming from HD650 for 7 years (still a keeper!). I'd like to try out some others over the next few months/years for something to compliment it for A/B (I have monitors but for headphones, as a pair, I'd quell that hunger to spend. Lol.

[@DaveMelby]

If you can "pair" wine with headphones, you've got a talent like no other!

[@arthurhaywood2184]

I thought that the original Heddphone was excellent in the upper midrange and treble. That made sense since that is what the amt heil driver was originally designed to do. Where it fell short for me was in the lower frequencies. They just weren’t up to par with the midrange and treble quality-wise.

[@PixelPipes]

Yeah the treble was definitely their party trick. The bass wasn't bad but it couldn't compete with a well-tuned planar.

[@mikeg2491]

As a Grado fan it actually sounds like this might be up my alley@@PixelPipes

[@bradwebb6927]

Observe then measure. Strange to see a reviewer do the scientific method correctly. Props.

[@ramalingam108]

I understand from your HEEDphone (one) review seemed to say it was good for classical music. I'd like to know if the HEEDphone two is not a good choice for a classical music lover, or if the HE1000se is preferable to it.

[@OblivionIce]

I could listen to you talk about headphones for hours. Keep up the good work. Think it's possible to give these a good bass shelf? How's the detail?

[@bivrostgaming]

AAAh-HA! I saw 20% of a smile guys

[@soulfulfool]

that is very interesting product

[@GadZookz]

Thanks Resolve! I find it hard to believe that you have never done a full day’s work. These headphones do look interesting though.

[@hildegarden6]

That is not a suspension headband. A suspension headband is self-adjusting, which the headband on HEDDphone is not. E.g. K612 Pro, K701, K702, K1000, Q701, Fidelio X2, HD668B, and Rognir are headphones that have a suspension headband.

[@ChrisKeyman]

Review the Sony MDR-MV1 please 🙏

[@Nephilim-81]

Andrew smiled!! It is a winner! 😂

[@dixter1652]

would be interesting to compare the Hedd2 to other headphones in the same price range....

[@nickdual]

Yeah, I love to hear the sound from the headphone at least on your channel! All saying doesn't make sense.

[@towsifshahriarshovo]

Monoprice also realised a AMT headphone at $900 please review that

[@CheekyFest]

I think I tried it briefly at CanJam London

[@barneyrubble9309]

seriously tempted by these. is that a smile at 5:18 !!!!!!!

[@LordVictorHalgaard]

Now the only remaining issue is the aesthetic design - looks a bit ridiculous on the head; but looks very utilitarian/engineered, in a good sense. Hope I get a chance to hear it some time..

[@PixelPipes]

Yeah I definitely do think the HEDDphone ONE had something special to offer looks-wise. This one looks really generic, which I guess is fine for a studio environment. And what use are looks if it doesn't function as well?

[@HEDDAudioGmbH]

We are hearing you, headband looks was a much discussed topic in this project. Ultimately, we decided to go down that route, hoping that many audiophiles will put functionality / ergonomics over visuals. Also keep in mind, that many customers will work on these cans in the context of mixing and mastering records. Every day, many hours. 🙏

[@INeedsMoneys]

@@HEDDAudioGmbHi got a pair of the first ones, and I absolutely love the bulky design. Looks like something straight out of a futuristic 80s fiction movie. I might get me another pair of the v2 just for daily use.

[@PixelPipes]

@@HEDDAudioGmbH I think your gamble is reasonable given the focus on studio use. Audiophiles can also overlook looks if the sound quality is good enough. I mean if people can accept wearing a piece of exercise equipment like the Abyss 1266, anything is possible.

[@johs12345]

Amazing stuff! Resolve, how do these compare to the Hifiman He1000 V2 (non-stealth)?

[@TheHEADPHONEShow]

Hek v2 is definitely brighter. Subjectively both are excellent, with the HEDD being more tactile, but the HEKv2 being more clear as a result of stronger ear gain presence.

[@johs12345]

@@TheHEADPHONEShow Would you say that one is more detailed than the other? And thanks so much for answering!

[@maegnificant]

Goldplanar also makes AMT driver headphones and an IEM, the AMT16 as well, which is awesome! Both of these companies derived from the same AMT speaker tweeter company btw :)

[@lwrncl8329]

this thing is the same price as the he1000se. what are some of the difference between the two?

[@darrellross8609]

HPS, l know that you do not correspond to KZbin comments. But I will ask anyway. Where will you be posting the HEDDPHONE play list Freddy spoke about? Best, D.

[@ClevrGrl]

Wow those look night and day different. I liked the aesthetics of the v1 but 700+ grams no way.

[@harisjaved1379]

Great review! Also you have a huge head and the Hedd makes it even larger, just like my face becomes huge when I wear the lcd x

[@sjqideez6626]

It’s not a review, just initial impressions

[@hartyewh1]

I very much disliked the og HEDDphone due to the airy wafty bass and lack of physicality so the oppositw impression. I found them very fatiguing after half an hour and wasn't the weight and absurd 700g?😅

[@cussyrichards6121]

By 'tactility' do you mean slam? Does it slam harder than the original Hifiman HE6?

[@andreasschwarz4908]

not just slam, music in general (even violins) feel more palpable/weighty on the v1 due to more air movement without lifting bass frequencies. kind of like a reverse e-stat.

[@tradehut2782]

Which driver is faster? Planar or AMT?

[@AliArghavan]

Depends on the headphone I think. Not all planar headphones are built equal.

[@depthnos9248]

Good morning, Just when I was about to get Focal Mg Pro. Does anyone know the price of Heddphone V2? Thank you.

Everthing is relative to what you already know. This adjectives are meanless without them being compared to something else. *They're relative*

I own the V1 and I'm super excited how the V2 measures and sounds against the old brother. The og HeddPhone is outstandig sounding. Better than anything else I tested. Only the weight was annoying. So for many many out there the most important thing is are they as fantastic sounding as the og ones... 😊
