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.
