Description

Critical listening extends beyond the control room with the ADAM Audio H715 Reference open-back headphones. Designed for mixing and mastering, these flagship headphones bring a spacious open-back presentation and balanced tonal response to headphone monitoring, helping engineers and producers evaluate the details that shape a finished recording. Custom titanium-plated drivers deliver low-distortion reproduction, while included Sonnox calibration and referencing tools help maintain a consistent listening perspective when working away from studio monitors.

Titanium-Plated PEN Drivers Bring Mix Details Into Focus

Custom 40 mm titanium-plated PEN drivers use neodymium magnets and carefully tuned suspension to deliver balanced sound with exceptionally low distortion. Angled within the open-back housings, the drivers work with woven-steel mesh and acoustic damping to reduce unwanted resonances while preserving an open presentation. With a frequency range of 9Hz–40kHz and 150 ohm nominal impedance, the H715 Reference provides detailed reproduction for evaluating panning, low-end balance and subtle EQ adjustments during critical listening sessions.

Sonnox Calibration and Balanced Hi-Fi Mode Expand Listening Options

The included Sonnox Headphone Utility plug-in provides headphone calibration and adjustable crossfeed, helping engineers evaluate how mixes may translate between headphones and studio monitors. ListenHub adds loudness-matched reference comparisons and tools for checking mono, sides and stereo balance, with system-wide calibration available through its macOS application. For dedicated hi-fi listening, a recessed switch activates balanced operation through the included 3 m dual-entry cable and 4.4 mm Pentaconn connector, allowing the H715 Reference to connect to a compatible balanced headphone amplifier.

Replaceable Earpads and Pressure-Relief Comfort for Long Sessions

A spring-steel headband with a pressure-relieving center cutout and memory-foam earpads supports comfort during extended listening sessions. The included soft-cloth and faux-leather earpad sets attach magnetically, allowing users to select their preferred material. Detachable cables, replaceable earpads and replaceable headband padding support long-term maintenance, while milled aluminum yokes provide structural support. The earcups fold flat for storage in the included hardshell case, making the H715 Reference a practical monitoring solution for engineers and producers working across different listening environments.
