- Sound profiles for heavy and popular bass consumption headphones
- Launch at $ 199 / £ 199 / € 199
If you do audio for other people to listen, you will know how much pain it is to listen to several things, but, of course, it has to do it, because what sounds good in neutral study monitors can be too low in a pair of rhythms or unclear in the Airpods.
That means accumulating more headphones and ears that you have ears, which is expensive and, in my case, also very annoying because I still forget to load any of the wireless.
Kali Audio can have a better option.
Do you feel like a set of wireless reference headphones on the ear they can change to emulate the sound of low boomers or the most aquatic options? That is what the new HP-1 promises to deliver, although without naming specific headphones models. They are a single pair of headphones with a triple divided personality.
Kali Audio HP-1: key features and price
Kali Audio HP-1 headphones are headphones with a closed setback on the ear with 40 mm controllers, a promised frequency range from 18Hz to 22 kHz and personalized digital signal processing profiles. There are three different voices: study, heavy and consumer, all instantly accessible through the pressure of a button.
There is a 3.5 mm cable (essential for musical production without latency) and the headphones also have Bluetooth for a more relaxed listening, although that only has the basic standard codecs of SBC and AAC, instead of APTX or LDAC.
It is promised that the battery life is 40 hours, and there is an active noise cancellation for when you need to wear your show on the road.
The first profile, Studio, is the standard for these headphones, and is designed to offer a transparent and precise sound when mixing or dominates like any other pair of study headphones.
Press a button and change to the low heavy mode, which emulates the sound of “headphones that are popular among the creators and fans of Hip-Hop and EDM”. The difference between quite flat headphones and the most prominent low range of such headphones can be quite considerable, so this configuration should help keep the bass tight instead of too Boomy.
The third voice is the consumer, which according to Kali Audio “replicates the sound of popular headphones sold along with phones and computers”, which is an impressive way to tell me that you mean airpods without telling me that you mean airpods.
I have not tried these headphones, so I cannot say how they compare with the headphones that point to emulate. But if Kali has deciphered the sound profiles, these could be a good option for those of us who cannot afford to buy a library of headphones purely to mix. With an official of $ 199 / £ 199 / € 199 (around AU $ 400), the Kali Audio HP-1 is available to bedroom producers, as well as those with larger budgets.
