What audio professionals think about HEDD Audio?
The HEDD Type 05 A‑Core is characterised by a combination of control, power and detail, from the bass through to the midrange, alongside clarity and precision in the upper mids and treble. It is not only transparent, revealing and analytical, but is also easy to listen to — partially due to its smooth high‑frequency response, but also because it has an unstressed air of quiet power that never disappears. What I liked the most of all was the sense of immediacy in its dynamic response. This superb overall performance must reflect the pairing of the design and quality of HEDD’s new analogue filter board with the impressive performance of the Type 05 Mk2’s honeycomb woofer, AMT tweeter and ICEpower amplification.This is a very impressive loudspeaker that will not disappoint those searching for a high‑performance, small‑footprint, accurate and articulate analogue nearfield monitor that performs well above its price level.

There is a lot to like about the HEDDphone D1. It is comfortable and sturdy, with a practical design that uses widely available cable connectors and pad-mounting standards. The modular build with easily replaceable parts and the reassuring 5-year warranty are features I hope become standard across the industry.
Even more impressive is how effortlessly the D1 presents its neutral sound. After listening to a wide range of music, nothing feels coloured or exaggerated, everything sounds neutral and naturally balanced.
Further, it’s reassuring that the D1 stays close to proven classics like the HD 600, HD 660S2, and NDH 30. Not only does the D1 match them where it matters, it improves on them.
The HEDDphone D1 delivers a genuinely neutral, accurate, and highly detailed listening experience. Its tight bass, clear midrange, smooth treble, and precise imaging make it one of the cleanest and most balanced dynamic-driver headphones in its price class.
If you want a modern, articulate, and uncoloured headphone that performs equally well for all genres, the HEDDphone D1 comes highly recommended
