Just got mine today in the mail. I am going to say immediately these are the best headphones I have ever tried hands down. I bought Samsung buds 3 (not pro) about 45 days ago and they are straight ass compared to these. Before the buds I ordered Sony WH-CH720N and took one listen and returned them immediately. The lows are deep and the highs are very crisp. The equalizer isn't available yet but honestly I'm not even concerned they sound so good. My oonly critique would be they are heavy and bulky but honestly I would walk around with a trash can on my head all day in order to get this caliber of sound quality. $244 and worth every penny. I am not paid by heavys and have no other incentives other than my desire to share this wonderful piece of equipment with as many people as possible. Love these headphones and love you guys at "Heavys". Great job!
I think the biggest thing to take away is listen to every review with a grain of salt. I watch reviews but I ignore most of the recommendations. Wanna know why? They aren’t me. I don’t know how many things these “experts” have reviewed and said they weren’t any good and I actually loved the product. It’s ok to watch reviews but don’t let that be your deciding factor
Im a backer of these headphones and been using then for about 2 months now. I'm still internally accepting that at the moment I'm not enjoying the sound from them. Seems like the tweeters need to be turned way up. If I push them backwards on my ears so that the tweeters are closer to my ears they sound a lot better. However they then don't feel comfortable to wear. I'm hoping that the app will allow me to adjust speaker volume without adjusting EQ. Adjusting EQ and boosting highs by a lot at the moment resolves some sound issues but causes more issues with sound signature. I also agree with some of your statements, button clutter and smearing on the plastic. I have a small head so clamping force is not to bad. Fingers crossed for that app, I can always update here if they ever release it.
I've been paying attention to their website, where they've recently added a "Downloads" section at the bottom. The message on that page originally said the app would release at the end of 2023, and now it's saying Q1 of 2024. And their FAQ continues to change wording about what features will be in the app. Right now all it says is "enable the management of specific headphone features and incorporate some exciting new advancements in the near future" which is incredibly ambiguous. I may create a follow-up video if there's something to be excited about when the app comes out, but I still cannot recommend it at this time-especially with the price fluctuations I've seen from their website. It's just too expensive for the experience you're getting. -Dylan

Great video, guys, im just starting my audiophile journey. Got some HD600s, 99 classics, and grados 060x's. These arrive tomorrow and i dont have the highest of expectation, even before this video. I'll try and update this comment with my thoughts
I got it - put in on, was dissapointed. Flat sound. But wait, ah it has to be switched on-BBBBOOOMMMM - I only use it with the premium silver coated cable and an AUNE S9 headphone amp. This truely is the best choice for metal especially for the price.
What about any creaking from the headphones structure when you move? I have some Sony Wireless from years ago that sound great, but when I move, if the headphones move AT ALL, you can hear the structure making noise. Also I read somewhere this is supposed to recreate the concert sound so wondering how will affect gaming, where you want to mimic surround?
I've had mine for a bit. They're OK, but less detailed than I was hoping for. They sound mediocre out of the box, but I have Android apps for more detailed EQ which definitely helps. Nothing beats a BT Dac/Amp with wired headphones combo. I don't care about ANC or ambient sounds with over the ear as I travel with IEMs. Actually, my Status between 3ANC IEM's are better in comparison. Even the Skullcandy Crusher Evo's are equally as good. I currently run the Fiio BTR7 Dac/Amp with Audio Technica ATH-WP900's for my main headphone listening, which for closed back they sound great and detailed. I am waiting for my open back Dac/Amp combo to arrive this week, and will most likely relegate the Heavys to very little use. I purchased iFi Dac & Amp separates and the Audeze LCD-X's. I am a long time (50+ year) metalhead, and Lovebites is my all-time favorite band. I want real detailed listening as their recordings are stellar.
I’ve got a pair of LCD-X as well, great pick! We are both fans of Audeze’s recent planar magnetic driver tuning hence why we recommended the Audeze Maxwell for metal. It’s definitely become one of my favorite most-used headphones as of late. Hope you enjoy your new portable setup! -Dylan
Is there a headphone that you would recommend for metal music specifically death metal? I’m trying to find one that’s right without going at it blindly breaking bank. I appreciate your review but I was hoping you were going to say that you loved it.. Guess I’ll just using my beats until I can figure out a better solution.
Have exactly the same cuestion 😂 I be insane soon Have listen to 10 different and don't like anyone its fucking difficult My band nr 1 365 days off the year is ORBIT CULTURE SO FUCKING GOOD THINK THEY GONNA BE THE NEXT HUGHES METAL BAND. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT PHONES I SHOULD BYE Have it the best Rock on 🤘🤘🤘
I use the ultrasone DXP as my go-to headset for listening to metal music. The bass dive is excellent and grado headphones are easier to carry around and use elsewhere. Also, for custom metal headphones, there's NA2METAL, an in-ear earphone made in China by NF AUDIO（宁梵声学） in collaboration with melodic death metal band Die from sorrow（郁乐队）, which is a pretty special kind of commercially available earphone because metal isn't as popular in China as it is elsewhere
It’s geared towards the live experience? I have never seen that mentioned, but I could’ve missed it. I have just heard they do the metal genre in general.
Yes, it’s a bit dizzying because the marketing and FAQ on their website is constantly changing. It’s not super emphasized now, but their kickstarter made mention of it. Even ignoring the “live experience” marketing, the headphone just isn’t tuned to our tastes. But we respect that others may enjoy it. Mind you, we’re audiophiles, so we may be coming at this from a different perspective.
Thanks guys. I feel like you guys are the only ones describing this thing sound signature accurately. Bloated bass. The people here don't seem to understand audiophiles aren't into this kind of sound.
We've undoubtedly heard worse / more offensive-sounding headphones. We can only hope that they may revise the sound signature through an eventual firmware update, but as they stand right now, they're not worth the asking price. Not every metal listener is going to be an audiophile, but a lot of modern metal has fantastic production quality. Our opinions are through our own subjective lenses, but for us, HEAVYs just doesn't yet tastefully reproduce what modern metal production engineers are trying to share with the world.
Are you two lying? Heavy’s have next to no bass. It was one of my biggest complaints. It’s all mid tones. Also. If somebody is talking to you, or an ambulance is going by, why would you turn off the noise canceling and not just press the big nob(which is very easy to get to) to pause the song? I’m still wondering about your bass comments because like I said. Worst and lowest bass sound I’ve heard in any over ear headphones.
The sound is really not that great out of the box. I think they could get fixed with proper EQ but so far I rarely use them because on iPhones I can’t set a global EQ only in Plexamp.
Volume gets very loud over iPhone. Search the settings app for “Reduce Loud Audio” and make sure that’s not toggled. It’s possible that you have a setting preventing you from going louder than a certain threshold.
Have you tried HEAVYS with another device? Maybe a computer or tablet? If you can connect over USB to your computer, that should also work, if you turn Bluetooth off on the left earcup. Over USB, they may show up as “BH697A Dongle” in the audio outputs. They should be able to get plenty loud. I just tested and yeah, they could blow my ears out.
I have the headphones myself and they are so much better than what they said on the video. The audio especially has a lot more treble and mids than they said
Actually they're being honest. Most people just kiss a products ass. Also a lot of people in audiophile community said these headphones are hot garbage.

@@richardwallace5625I've known a few "audiophiles" seem to hate everything I liked about music. Complaining about CD and any digital music, they'd seriously have a record player in their car if they could. Their EQ settings are so unlike what I run mine at, I let one completely tune my car stereo to his liking, at least as good as a CD can sound to him anyway. Unless it's a serious issue I don't let opinion on sound sway me unless it's overwhelmingly bad or good. One audiophile did the Kickstarter on these and gave them a real positive review on many types of music.
@@richardwallace5625they might be non detrimental to you, but that isn’t true for everyone. Knowing how comfortable a pair of headphones are and whether I can easily listen to them all day is important to me.

So imma just i strongly disagree with everything u guys said about the sound, i just got mine yesterday and i cant put them down they are also great for call of duty 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I was waiting for an honest review of these headphones. I'm happy I did not buy them. After seen You're review I'm more sure of it. I think I'll find something else. Awesome review!
This review sounds ridiculous. They complain about using 3 fingers instead of 2 for the ambient listening. Then they complain about the audio replication of a live show when comparing it to a live show, which sounds like a great thing, but because a live show sounds like crap and you go for the visual experience as well, they complain that you only get the sound but not the full experience...on headphones!! I shit you not...they are complaining about the sensory replication of a live performance von an audio device. As if they are complaining that it isn't in VR. Lol 🤣. I can't with these guys.
As someone who has been in this game for a long time, just some things to keep in mind. 2 ears only need two speakers to hear everything, from everywhere. Nothing is free and business is business. In a vacuum 8 speakers for $200 would be $25 per speaker, or 2 speakers for $200 would be $100 per speaker. At this price range the quality of a $100 speaker is dramatically different than a $25 speaker. Marketing is crushing it for this item, as it does with many other sub par audio products, but for those who really take the time to learn what your buying, this is probably not something you want to buy if your getting it because of the hype.
I do understand where you're coming from money wise. As someone who uses in ear monitors on stage I can tell you that having more than one driver to handle different frequencies makes a big difference. Going from single driver models trying to output all frequencies to dual, triple or even quadruple drivers with each handling different frequencies can make everything a lot less muddy. As for how these headphones are setup internally, I haven't a clue, they could sound horrible depending on how the crossovers are setup/used. I can say however that having multiple drivers, each with one job to do as opposed to a single driver trying to handle multiple jobs can be a benefit. This is the same reason most car stereos have component speakers in them nowadays, but this is just my 2¢ for what it's worth. 🙂
For anyone watching and wondering, just get the Marshall Monitor 2s for around the same price, its better than the Sony XM4 and much better than these too, much clearer bass, wider soundstage and better instrument separation, I know Marshalls are associated with their smaller on-ear square headphones which are not really good, but the Monitor 2 is great for its price and underrated compared to other options.
These headphones are catered towards the “I’m hard af. I listen to Five Finger Death Punch and Pantera” crowd who wanna blow their money on crap because they’re too small minded to see through marketing propaganda.
Omg you have to use 3 fingers? 🥺 What an atrocity.. If someone's talking to ya, who doesn't just take their headphones off lol. You guys are seriously nit picky jesus😂😂 All power to ya, but for a review it's quite biased and you make it sound like the small quirks are gonna make the big difference, which it never does, because one just get used to that stuff 🤙
At 5:57 I literally say the controls are not a big deal and that you'll get used to it. But of course it's biased towards our own preferences. Whether it's sound, user experience, comfort, etc-it's all perspective through our own personal lenses.
@nd4091 they sound fantastic. Once they're eq'd to taste. There's nothing out there comparable to the depth of sound these drivers produce. They're engineered for Metal. I mean, how could they not sound incredible? Unless you're trying to listen to gangsta rap on them. But that would probably sound great as well if eq'd properly. Just saying. Anyone that says these aren't good are either ignorant of the eqing options or haven't actually tried them and just trolling!
I work in a data center where everyone talks to each other with headphones on cause it's easier to hear over the white noise. A lot of people don't take headphones off when talking to someone, ever been to a gym bro?
That's not what they're marketed towards. People usually include Zepplin, Floyd, and for some reason I hear a lot of Monkeys, in reviews for things like Sony or AKGs. These are not marketed to general audiences, though. Whether that's who actually would enjoy them doesn't matter because their main purpose is not to a make a thin, flabby snare from a Zepplin Album sound good.
This is literally more complaining then anything about every inch of the headphones. O my God there's a smer on them. That's a total world ending moment on them. Or oh my God you have to have 3 fingers on them just to turn the volume down. 😂 It's called take them off and press to pause! Or o my God it's to hard on my jaw line! I can't handle it for to long or I had to stretch them! It's called just don't wear them... Worst of the worst review I seen about this.... 😂😂😂😂
That's utter nonsense. I've been a metalhead for over 40 years, the production quality of metal songs varies greatly. On one end of the spectrum you have Metallica's Ride The Lightning which sounds like it was mixed in a phone booth. On the other end, you have Velvet Revolver. To claim "metal is not clean" is ridiculous.
Metal is very clean. That's like a large part of it. Being square and on time helps with aggressive hits. There are many parts that aren't, like the KoRn tone or the Sludginess of fat breakdowns, but the majority of metalheads strive for cleanliness to increase their aggression.

I work in a data center where everyone talks to each other with headphones on cause it's easier to hear over the white noise. A lot of people don't take headphones off when talking to someone, ever been to a gym bro?
Lmao thats the point you being up!? I cant watch any more.
Poor quality review
How about Led Zepplin or Pink Floyd? C'mon guys, include Classic Rock in you genius interpretations!!!
Those are rock not metal
That's not what they're marketed towards. People usually include Zepplin, Floyd, and for some reason I hear a lot of Monkeys, in reviews for things like Sony or AKGs. These are not marketed to general audiences, though. Whether that's who actually would enjoy them doesn't matter because their main purpose is not to a make a thin, flabby snare from a Zepplin Album sound good.
This is literally more complaining then anything about every inch of the headphones. O my God there's a smer on them. That's a total world ending moment on them. Or oh my God you have to have 3 fingers on them just to turn the volume down. 😂 It's called take them off and press to pause! Or o my God it's to hard on my jaw line! I can't handle it for to long or I had to stretch them! It's called just don't wear them... Worst of the worst review I seen about this.... 😂😂😂😂
its also called......just dont watch the review
Look here you puddle of mud fans here in the video, METAL IS NOT CLEAN❗ "a smudge☹️☹️☹️"
Grow a pair
It’s just a headphone, there’s really no need to get so upset over our criticism of it.
That's utter nonsense. I've been a metalhead for over 40 years, the production quality of metal songs varies greatly.
On one end of the spectrum you have Metallica's Ride The Lightning which sounds like it was mixed in a phone booth. On the other end, you have Velvet Revolver.
To claim "metal is not clean" is ridiculous.
Metal is very clean. That's like a large part of it. Being square and on time helps with aggressive hits. There are many parts that aren't, like the KoRn tone or the Sludginess of fat breakdowns, but the majority of metalheads strive for cleanliness to increase their aggression.
These dudes sound like they listen to Winger. Like two chicks.
