HEDDphone®
HEDDphone®
The HEDDphone® features the world's first full-range AMT driver. By use of unique VVT technology, our open-back design delivers astonishing transparency and ultra-high resolution. It was designed for production, mastering and high-end audiophile applications. The HEDDphone® is handmade in Berlin, Germany. We only use high-quality, vegan-friendly materials.
"Perhaps the most natural sound representation I have ever experienced."
Released in 2020, the HEDDphone® was designed to bring the clarity and accuracy of our Air Motion Transformer driver to the headphone world.
Thanks to its open-back design and a redesigned AMT allowing the reproduction of frequencies from 10 to 40kHz, it has won accolades from the likes of Sound on Sound and has been the choice for top engineers across genres.
Immerse yourself in a world of unparalleled clarity and natural music reproduction, wherever you go.
Air Motion Transformer
For the HEDDphone we have developed a new full-range Air Motion Transformer. As opposed to planar, dynamic or electro-static drivers, it is based on a pleated Kapton diaphragm, which is folded into a magnetic field. Air is sucked in and squeezed out in every single fold, accelerating the air significantly. The sonic benefits are a faster transient response and greater treble extension, increasing precision, clarity and ultimately, realism in audio reproduction.
Variable Velocity Transformation
To achieve an even frequency response across the entire audible frequency range, we refined the original design by adding new geometries and a more complex system of variable sized folds. We call this approach VVT – Variable Velocity Transform.
Designed and Made in Berlin
The HEDDphone was developed from scratch in Berlin. Due to the precise folding technique and careful implementation of this unique design, the HEDDphone is handmade with great care and attention to detail like no machine is capable of. All sourced materials are of high quality, like the vegan pleather pads.
"I can't think of anything I'd recommend over the HEDDphone at this price.”

The HEDDphone achieves what I deemed to be almost impossible by recreating a flat frequency response and impressive soundstage whilst retaining an honest and accurate representation of the sound source.
The HEDDphone is quite simply the only device I have ever heard that can achieve this and to that end has earned its place as an integral and vital part of my workflow.
