Ok another make you smile BIG experience:
Way back when CDs were first coming out there were several folks making the best DDD cds they coould.
Hard to find stuff now in the original cd format but I have tons of theseā¦one this am is:
The selection is BIG NOTESā¦crank this puppy up and be prepared for a dynamic explosion of drums etcā¦holy crap amazingā¦
The HEDDS have no problem reproducing the stattaco drum hits superblyā¦

The one amp that doesnt have the power to really drive the HEDDS via its specs is the TUBA EL84 amp I haveā¦but I do listen with it and the HEDDS from time to timeā¦
This morning I was listening to excellent piano from Keiko Matsui, Dreamwalk CDā¦āLight Above the Treesā the piano versionā¦with the TUBA using the high gain jackā¦and the quality and tone of the piano was absolutley a 10/10.
The piano tone was very, vey realisticā¦hard to get rightā¦but this combo is just superb.

How does the Erish or A90 drive the Hedd? Also looking for a balanced dac that can match one of those amps. Iām gana want to get a stack of one of thoughās amps. Thinking about what is a preferred sound for me above $1k and these seem to be appealing to me, according to reviews.

TLDW of MaxSettingsā review:
Wowā¦watching and listening to the entire review I would never have purchased a pair of Heddsā¦
Contrast that review to this review:
Many of the things this reviewer speaks to many of us have not an issue with. The only real issue for some would be the weight and fit. To some this is a real concern, with me its a perfect fit, no hot spots, the padding in what he calls a āFatā headband is not enough for āhimā but yet its termed āfatā?
The padding in the headband is more that enough IMO and the material that rest on your head is the same type of alcantara you find in Focal Clears and Utopias. very soft and compliant.
But for those that have issues with fit I totally understand that and should try these on before purchasing.
The review states the detail resolving is not that good? WTF overā¦this headphone has a driver that moves air 4X faster than estats! Its resolving capabilities are world class, but not if you use a dragonfly to attempt to drive it.
A Schiit Magni 3 will drive these headphones rather well, although I much prefer the Schitt Lyr 3 or Jotenheim. With the JOT the balanced output on high gain make these headphones come alive.
Never experienced a hot spotā¦and can wear these for hours on end, and do 4-6 hours a day!
The krinkling of the Dupont Kapton driver material is real but in most all of the people that own these never have I heard of a issues as bad as this reviewer touts! I hardly ever hear a crinkling noise, ever. Once in awhile putting them on I do slghtly but again not with every ābeatā of my heart!! omg?
Many other reviewers state these headphones do not need EQ and are well balanced regardless of a freq curveā¦some do state that real bassheads might want to bump up the low end below 60-80 hz .5 to 1.5 but for most of us that do critically listen to music its not needed at allā¦
The cable is a very good OFC cable and is not anywhere as ābadā as is indicated. Its well built with a superlative 1/4 phone plug, very industrial and well made. The one thing this reviewer seemed to like?
When you are thinking of buying a high cost set of headphones, take a look at many reviews vs just one really positive or negative reviewā¦
IMO this guy has many things all wrong about the Heddsā¦
All the best
Alex
Note: As I change from my Focal Clears to the HEDDS this morning I am listening to a LIVE concert of Melody Gardot : Live in Europeā¦with the Clears the tonality is 100%, but the soundstage is narrow. WIth the HEDDS its alive and realistic, a wonderfully wide lateral soundstage like being thereā¦this is one of the positive attributes of the HEDDS, this reviewer missed IMOā¦And all the micro details in resolutio are there, the delicate sounds, people moving around in the audience, drum swishes, the hammers in the piano hitting the metallic stringsā¦etcā¦absolutley a wonderful realistic experience.
No smearing of micro-details, just the opposite!

Iām in complete agreements with your statements, Alex.
Unfortunately they donāt fit me well, but I wish they did. Your assessments are spot on. The HEDDphone is a transparent tool and a fun headphone experience.
Cheers!

I know that Hedd is well aware of the weight and fit concerns.
When on a recent Zoom session i brought up all the ānegativesā and they replied that this was their first
headphone and not their last.
They did not shy away from any criticisms but took the time to explain why the HEDD headphone is the way it is.
So we shall see what they do nextā¦but again these orginals are already exciting many people at their present day realistic performance and hopefully they will address theses concerns without sacrifcing the ātodayā performance.

Its a great time to be in headphone audio!!

Cool live stream with these guysā¦ They did a giveaway + an interview with the founders/CTO of the product. Seems like a very cool and capable first attempt from people that have quite an audio background (Adam Audio). I look forward to see where both the AMT and Ribbon (Raal) driver technologies head from here. Maybe weāre looking at the early onset of tech dev like weāve seen with planars and estats.

I didnt won it. 
Saw a few other Hifiguides guys in there
Great session u can tell both Klaus and son Freddie are very well founded in music and are elated in the AMT driver they have invented to this level for a full range tranducer for headphonesā¦
One thing that stood out was the HEDD is NOT a Ribbon type headphone, its a AMT deviceā¦
and this is the FIRST headphone and probably not the lastā¦

Nice review!!!
Honest, straight forward and very postive!!
A breathe of fresh air in the sea of reviews that nit-pick attributes negativelyā¦
I own the HEDDS as well as Focal Clears and Meze Emperyeans and othersā¦they all are my favorites but the Hedds are indeed a very special headphone for sure!
