HEDD Audio Heddphone D1

The HEDD Audio HEDDphone® D1 is an open-back over-ear reference headphone featuring a 32 ohm dynamic driver with Thin-Ply Carbon Diaphragm technology, 100 dB sensitivity, a 5 Hz to 40 kHz frequency response, dual 3.5 mm inputs and a lightweight 350 g chassis designed for critical monitoring, mastering and high-resolution personal listening.

Reference Monitoring Without Compromise

The HEDDphone® D1 delivers a studio monitor level of accuracy inside a headphone format engineered for extended listening. It presents tonal balance, transient speed and micro-detail with absolute control, allowing engineers, producers and audiophiles to assess recordings without coloration, fatigue or dynamic compression.

The open-back acoustic structure controls internal reflections and pressure build-up, allowing natural airflow around the driver. This design maintains linear low-frequency extension, a stable midrange and an unforced high-frequency response that preserves spatial information, stereo placement and depth.

Thin-Ply Carbon Diaphragm Technology

At the centre of the D1 sits the Thin-Ply Carbon Diaphragm, a composite material developed for aerospace and motorsport applications. HEDD integrates this material directly into the dynamic driver structure to create a diaphragm that maintains exceptional rigidity at extremely low mass.

This construction eliminates the need for conventional diaphragm damping. The driver therefore moves with greater precision, faster acceleration and improved stopping control. The result delivers lower distortion, sharper transient articulation and consistent phase behaviour across the full audible spectrum.

Re-Engineered Dynamic Driver Architecture

HEDD redesigns the entire dynamic driver assembly to achieve studio-grade precision. The compact motor structure improves magnetic flux stability and ensures uniform diaphragm control at all listening levels. This driver architecture maintains tonal neutrality while preserving dynamic headroom and long-term listening comfort.

The headphone reproduces bass content with weight and texture rather than artificial enhancement. The midrange remains linear and transparent, allowing vocal placement and harmonic structure to remain intact. High frequencies extend smoothly beyond the audible range, retaining air and spatial openness without introducing harshness.

Comfort-Focused Mechanical Design

The D1 weighs 350 grams and balances mass distribution across the headband and earcups to maintain comfort during long sessions. The compact driver assembly reduces physical bulk while maintaining structural rigidity. Perforated velour ear pads regulate heat and airflow, preventing pressure build-up and supporting consistent acoustic coupling.

The mechanical design maintains a stable fit that preserves frequency response consistency during movement, making the D1 suitable for extended mixing, mastering and critical evaluation sessions.

Universal Drive Compatibility

With a 32 ohm impedance and 100 dB sensitivity, the D1 performs efficiently across portable players, studio interfaces and dedicated headphone amplifiers. The driver design maintains control at low output levels while scaling dynamically with higher-end amplification, preserving transient response and low-frequency definition.

Dual 3.5 mm inputs support balanced cable routing and professional connectivity. The included textile-covered premium cable maintains flexibility and long-term durability for daily studio use.

German Manufacturing and Serviceability

HEDD manufactures the D1 in Germany with a fully serviceable architecture. The company builds every component for mechanical stability, acoustic consistency and long-term reliability. This approach supports sustainable ownership, extended product life and consistent performance over years of professional use.
