Kali Audio has built its name on delivering accurate, reliable studio monitors that help musicians and producers make better mixes. Now they have distilled that same philosophy into a headphone you can take anywhere. The new HP-1 is a professional closed-back, over-ear headphone designed for music production, mixing, gaming, and everyday listening, blending high-end sound quality with comfort, portability, and flexibility.
Starting at just $199, the HP-1 is more than just a set of good-sounding cans. It comes equipped with three selectable voicings that make it as valuable in the studio as it is on the road.
With the press of a button, you can switch between Studio mode, a transparent and accurate tuning that gives you a faithful translation of your mix; Bass Heavy mode, a fun and powerful low-end-forward voicing similar to what you’d hear in popular hip-hop headphones; and Consumer mode, a balanced, natural tuning designed to mimic the listening experience of the headphones most people are using with their smartphones and tablets.
The HP-1 is just as much about convenience as it is about accuracy. You can run it wired for maximum fidelity using the included cable or go wireless with Bluetooth for everyday listening. Built-in Bluetooth controls let you adjust volume, skip tracks, and even take calls without touching your device. When outside noise becomes an issue, active noise cancelling steps in to block out distractions so you can stay focused on your work or your music.
Long sessions are no problem thanks to a comfortable vegan leather headband and replaceable vegan leather earcups, and with over 40 hours of battery life on a single charge, you can go days without reaching for the USB-C cable. At just .4 pounds, the HP-1 is lightweight and foldable, making it easy to carry in the included hard case wherever your music takes you.
Whether you are dialing in a mix in your home studio, checking your work on different voicings, gaming late into the night, or simply enjoying your favorite tracks on the go, the Kali Audio HP-1 Studio Headphones deliver accurate sound, premium comfort, and the versatility to handle every situation.
The Kali Audio HP-1 Studio Headphones are available here for $199.
