Great engineering may come with cool looking design as well. Love how they choose to put a solid black colour for almost all area on hedd v2.

Addiitonal notes:
- Now I'm sure that Hedd V2 passed my test as become a comfortable headphone.
- Treble quality is just... insane, very fluid, fast, yet also liquid smooth, not harshness to be found
- It's indeed a revealing headphone, to make it shine a good recoding quality is a must. Not that all bad recordings sounds bright or sharp, some of them actually sound "mute", veiled and dull as well.
- I can't think any other headphone in this price range that able to match Hedd V2 in technical (Detail, Speed, Accuracy, Separation, and Pin Point Imaging). I think the only contender is a little more expensive Raal CA-1. However, I haven't tested it yet, and Raal still need extra "converter" to work with (another additional cost).

Rall CA-1a w/ converter, and filter = $2700 new, but used ones with converter seen at $1600 + $200 filter with enough power (Rag 1 or Pass Int-25 for instance) is head and shoulders above the HEDD-1 IMO, but I didn't hear the HEDD-2 or the 1 with the same EQ/phase improvement from the filter as the CA-1a gets - so that's probably not fair. But the CA-1a and converter w/o the filter sounded better to me than the HEDD-1 too, but it wasn't a slam dunk.

The HEDD-2 certainly is on my radar, may have to go down to NYC to hear it.

Anywhere to purchase earpads in the USA?

If you want genuine leather go w Vesper Audio

Can the HEDD two be driven to very loud volumes without distorting?

Tried the HEDDphone v2 yesterday and blown away by its treble, easily one of the best treble that i've ever heard on headphone and surprised the comfort is actually nice on the v2 ( never been a fan of v1 comfort )

It is harder to drive than expected though

Can the HEDD two be driven to very loud volumes without distorting?

I believe so. I had to turn the volume to uncomfortable levels due to all the background noise there, but I listen at below average volume, so ymmv. It not being super forward in the upper registers helps, but I think there's somehing else that keeps it fatigue free.

Haven't tried HEDDphone V2 yet. Not in a hurry as I love V1

I upgraded my DAP and I started testing out my headphones using the DX320 MAX Ti as the source/DAC and adding the Mass-Kobo 424. I have not heard my V1 sound better than this before. It was very difficult to putting them down each session. Especially with Drum and Bass.

Anyone with the TWO gotten any change with burning it in?

Any track it shines on in particular?

The One is so great. Like, if you want a really great tonality and excellent technicalities in equal measures, the One is the one of those headphones to get.

Unrelated- i went ham on the headband; removed the pleather and all the cushioning, cleaned up the residue from the glue left over and added a ZMF Pliot pad to the

naked spring steel. One is much more comfy now and I'm v happy i got rid of the pleather. I have genuine leather earpads on order for Vesper Audio as well.

Ah nice! You're the only other one I've seen in this thread besides me to mod the headband. It completely turns around how it feels to use it.

Agreed on your assessment. I think this headphone has just about perfect tonality.

And me!! Several pages back, pretty sure several of us have added leather straps and ZMF pads. I've got all of those added to make the H1 bearable!!

I'll give it a listen tonight and pick out some that are better than others.

 

[Rayzilla]

Here are a few that I heard last night. I'll check for some others when I get another chance if any of you like this kind of music.

How does the H1 handle
Daft Punk feat Panda Bear - Doin'it right ?

I have tried to look at every review I can on the HEDD TWO. There is one superb review. The remaining are "it is a reasonably decent headphone" to " it is not a very good headphone". A lot of negitive reviews.

I loved the ONE. Would someone who loved the one hate the TWO? How different could it be?
