HEDD Audio releases HEDDphone® TWO GT

Thursday September 26, 2024. 04:53 PM , from Gearslutz
HEDD Audio releases From Pro to Audiophile: Introducing the HEDDphone® TWO GT.



Berlin, Germany, 26th September 2024 – Since 2019, HEDDphones have been trusted by artists such as visionary pianist Nils Frahm, iconic rapper Q-Tip, and Academy-Award winning composer Hildur Guðnadóttir (Joker, Chernobyl) to be reliable day in, day out. Audio engineers like Heba Kadry (Bjoerk) and Tchad Blake (Arctic Monkeys, The Black Keys) celebrate them for their honesty and precision in the process of making records.

Now HEDDphone® TWO GT writes the next chapter in this truly unique approach to headphones, taking the speed and fascinating clarity of HEDDphone TWO’s Air Motion Transformer driver to the world of modern audiophile listening.



Performance is PLEASURE

The GT is to the TWO, what a Gran Turismo is to a race car: more comfortable and certainly more forgiving. Whilst HEDDphone TWO was designed to be a cutting-edge engine to deliver fast and exceptional results for audio engineers and producers, the GT adopts the analytical clarity of the TWO, adding a warmer sonic signature and premium comfort experience. Every element of this high-performing product will enhance your ride.

The details you can HEAR

Like its professional counterpart, HEDDphone® TWO GT uses a robust, yet ultralight multi-layered Kapton diaphragm that is over three times larger than traditional dynamic, planar or electrostatic driver designs. The new HEDD Air Motion Transformer utilises the latest Variable Velocity Transform technology and produces the lowest ever distortion levels in AMTs across the audio spectrum, from 10 Hz to 40 kHz. Therefore the driver allows for more accurate dynamics and an effortless soundstage.

HEDD has combined substantial feedback from the passionate Head-Fi community with our unwavering dedication to improve. The new air-compliance tuning system creates impactful bass, alongside a warmer mid-range and sparkling top end to deliver the emotion within the music.

So, meet HEDDs Grandest Tuning to date.

The details you can FEEL

The HEDDphone® TWO GT is designed for pleasure, so get ready to lose yourself in your favourite album or playlist. We have engineered the clamping force on the carbon fibre headband to be more comfortable for longer periods, with softer ear pads and the unique dual strap system that can be adjusted and fixed to your preference. To give our customers a choice between different comfort experiences without taking them away from the music, the new ear pads are finished in either velour or sheep leather. The improved cable quality adds to the overall luxurious experience.

The details you can RELY ON

HEDDphone® TWO GT is all about high-end components & materials. We have designed it to be reassuringly strong. The lightweight magnesium chassis and carbon fibre HEDDband ensure comfortable extended or repeated listening experiences. We provide ultra high-purity copper cables and all the connectors you will need, so you can dive into your favourite music straight out of the box.

German engineering excellence

HEDD Audio founder Klaus Heinz has been a pioneer of loudspeaker design for over five decades, including creating the modern AMT driver, which is also the heart of the company’s unique headphone range. Our highly skilled assembly team in Berlin hand-builds every HEDDphone® to meet the highest standards of quality. Our pedigree in design and construction speaks for itself, but we back that up with a 5-year limited warranty for every HEDD product registered by our customers.

Accessories

The HEDDphone® TWO GT ships with all of the possible cables and connections you need to connect directly to your favourite amplifier. Every cable is designed for rigorous use and made using a combination of high-purity, silver-plated copper in hand-braided nylon strands.

The included travel case provides a sturdy way to store and protect your HEDDphone® TWO GT at home or on the move.
