Heavys

Heavys is an American audio startup created by heavy music fans for fellow rock and metal enthusiasts. The brand became famous for developing the world's first headphones with an acoustic architecture specifically optimized for complex compositions saturated with distortion and fast drum parts.

The company was founded in 2021 by Jonathan Hubshman (CEO). Axel Grell, a legendary developer who led the High-End audio department at Sennheiser for over 20 years and contributed to iconic models like the HD 800, became the project's chief technical consultant and engineer.

Heavys headphones were designed specifically for heavy music lovers. The engineers behind the model ensured they accounted for everything, including frequency range, dynamic performance, and ear protection, even when playing at high volumes.

The brand's core product features an innovative system of eight drivers (four in each ear cup), where each speaker is responsible for its own frequency range. This achieves exceptional detail in electric guitars and punchy kick drums without muddying the sound. A significant milestone in the brand's history was the capital raised through crowdfunding, proving the immense demand for specialized audio equipment among fans of the heavy genre.

The technological context of Heavys includes the use of patented sound pressure dosing technology, which allows for loud listening while maintaining natural sound perception and protecting the eardrums. The brand actively collaborates with legendary rock producers and musicians to tune its devices to the specific requirements of "heavy" mixing, emphasizing dynamics and soundstage transparency.
