Adam Audio has announced the H200 closed-back studio headphone, 'bringing Adam Audio’s engineering heritage to a new monitoring format'.
Several years in the making, the H200 was designed from the ground up at the company’s R&D department in Berlin, which has expanded to include a dedicated team of headphone engineers.
The headphone’s 40mm Peek diaphragm drivers and patent-pending internal airflow technology aim to deliver the sound quality that Adam Audio has established with the S Series claiming a ‘benchmark for tonality’. Carefully considered headband physics ensure a comfortable fit, with memory foam-based earpads providing isolation.
With decades of use and environmental factors in mind, modularity and materials played an important role during the development process. Both the earpads and the headband padding are easily replaceable, and the durable main cable is attachable to either side of the headphone. The packaging is paper-based, while the driver housing consists of 85 per cent post-consumer recycled ABS plastic. A high-quality carry bag is included for storage and transportation.
A further advantage of the H200 is the purpose-built Adam Audio Headphone Utility DAW plug-in, which was built in collaboration with industry partner Sonnox. The included software offers a range of optimisation tools for the H200, as well as the Externalization feature that uses advanced crossfeed techniques to better translate loudspeaker mixes to headphones.
The H200 headphone will be available in stores from November, with suggested retail pricing of US$149.99, £139.99 and €159.99.
