Key features

  • Thin-Ply Carbon Diaphragm

    At the heart of the D1 lies a diaphragm made from Thin-Ply Carbon, an advanced composite used in extreme applications from Formula 1 cars to NASA’s Mars helicopter Ingenuity. In headphone design, it becomes something entirely new: TPCD eliminates the need for traditional damping at the diaphragm level, enabling faster, cleaner and more accurate performance.

  • Custom Dynamic Driver

    Dynamic headphones have long balanced compromises such as speed versus stability or weight versus comfort. Drawing on four decades of R&D experience, and the expertise of Composite Sound, HEDD has engineered the core of the D1 driver to deliver studio-grade precision for personal listening. The result is sound that is detailed, balanced, and fatigue-free.

  • Universal Performance

    With 32 Ω impedance and 100 dB sensitivity, the D1 performs consistently across sources from portable players to dedicated amplifiers. It also scales gracefully with higher-end systems while maintaining control and balance.

  • Designed and made in Berlin

    All HEDD products are designed and assembled in Berlin by talented engineers and craftspeople who draw from a rich history in audio reproduction to create products tuned to the key of you.
