- Sound profiles for heavy and popular consumption headphones
- Launch at $ 199 £ 199 /199 €
If you are doing audio so that other people can listen, you will know how much you have to listen to several things – but of course, you have to do it, because what sounds well on neutral studio monitors can be too comfortable on a pair of beats or little on AirPods.
This means accumulating more headphones and sur-End that you have ears, which is expensive and in my case, also very boring because I forget to load wireless.
Kali Audio may have a better option.
Fancy a set of wireless earphones without reference that can change to imitate the sound of basic baby boomers or more airy options? This is what the new HP-1 promises to deliver, although without named specific helmet models. They are a single pair of headphones with a triple-split personality.
KALI AUDIO HP-1: Key features and prices
KALI HP-1 KALI AUDIO headphones are over-earlier closed headphones with 40 mm drivers, a range of frequencies promised at 18 Hz to 22 kHz and personalized digital signal processing profiles. There are three different voices: the studio, the bass and the consumer, all accessible instantly via the press on a button.
There is a 3.5 mm cable (essential for musical production without latency) and the headphones also have a Bluetooth for more relaxed listening, although this only has the basic SBC and AAC codecs, rather than for Aptx or LDAC.
The battery life is promised at 40 hours, and there is an active noise cancellation when you have to take your show on the road.
The first profile, studio, is the standard one for these headphones, and it is designed to provide transparent and precise sound when mixing or mastering like any other pair of studio headphones.
Press a button and you go into low mode, which emulates the sound of “popular headphones with creators and fans of hip-hop and EDM”. The difference between fairly flat headphones and the more important low -end of these headphones can be quite considerable, so this parameter should help keep the bass tight rather than too explosive.
The third exam is the consumer, who according to Kali Audio “reproduces the sound of the popular headphones sold alongside phones and computers”, which is a strongly formulated way of telling me that you mean AirPods without telling me that you mean AirPods.
I have not tried these headphones, so I can’t say how they compare themselves to the headphones they aim to imitate. But if Kali fell in love with the sound profiles, this could be a good option for those of us who cannot afford to buy a library of headphones only for the mixture. With an official of $ 199 /199 € / 199 € (around $ 400 in), the KALI AUDIO HP-1 is well at hand for room producers as well as those with larger budgets.
