Are they warm / dark or bright headphones ?Pictures of the prototype at High End:
Quite heavy indeed, which is especially noticeable when turning your head quickly. I do like the sound, and the bass is impressively intense, beyond that of an Ether C Flow, I'd say. I only tried it briefly with a provided DAP. The cable had a 2.5 mm balanced connector, so I couldn't try familiar music off a familiar source like my phone. They plan on making various cables available, but aren't sure yet exactly how. The connectors on the headphone side are 4-pin mini XLR, just like with Audeze headphones.
They also want to make the ear pads swappable so you can customize them as needed, with a mechanism similar to MrSpeakers headphones (wrap over some lip).
Apparently it took them just six months to get here. Quite impressive, I think.
The HEDD folks are fun to talk to, by the way!
I'd need to spend more time with them, with known equipment and material to judge with any accuracy. The one song I heard on a provided DAP with unknown EQ settings sounded mostly neutral, except for some bass emphasis.Are they warm / dark or bright headphones ?
One thing that I think hasn't gotten enough attention is that the HEDDphone will be the world's first headphone to use this type of transducer!
And that's pretty cool!!
Can someone please tell me how this technology differs from Mr. Speakers V Planar tech?
