Adam Audio H715 Reference Headphones Debut With Open-Back Design and Studio-Grade Accuracy
Adam Audio has introduced the H715 Reference, a new flagship pair of open-back studio headphones built for music production, mixing, and mastering. Designed for audio professionals who need dependable monitoring, the H715 Reference focuses on neutral sound reproduction, wide frequency coverage, and a more speaker-like listening experience through dedicated software support.
At the heart of the H715 Reference are 40 mm titanium-plated drivers, engineered to deliver precise detail across a broad frequency range of 9 Hz to 40 kHz. This extended response is intended to help producers and engineers hear low-end depth, midrange clarity, and high-frequency detail with greater confidence when making critical mix decisions.
The headphones also feature a tuned suspension system and a patent-pending ventilation design. Together, these elements aim to reduce coloration and create a more natural, balanced sound signature. For professionals working in studios, home production spaces, or mobile setups, that neutrality can be especially useful when checking how a track will translate across different playback systems.
One of the standout features of the H715 Reference is the included Headphone Utility Plug-In for digital audio workstations. This software is designed to shape the headphone output so it behaves more like a pair of reference studio monitors. It can simulate the natural stereo crosstalk that occurs when listening to loudspeakers, giving users a more realistic stereo image while mixing on headphones.
That speaker-like presentation can help with judging panning, depth, and balance more accurately than traditional headphone monitoring alone. The plug-in also includes additional modes and controls, allowing users to fine-tune loudness response across the headphones’ wide frequency range.
Adam Audio has also equipped the H715 Reference with flexible connectivity options. The package includes a 1.3 m coiled unbalanced studio cable and a 3.0 m balanced cable with a 4.4 mm connector. A dedicated Hi-Fi mode switch enables balanced audio operation, giving users more versatility depending on their studio gear or listening setup.
Comfort and durability are also part of the design. The headphones weigh 300 g and include memory foam ear pads for long studio sessions. Both the headband and ear pads are user-replaceable, which should extend the product’s lifespan for professionals who use their headphones daily.
For storage and transport, Adam Audio includes a hard carry case, making the H715 Reference suitable for engineers and producers who move between studios or need a secure way to protect their equipment.
The Adam Audio H715 Reference carries a suggested retail price of $699.99 and is expected to become available soon through the company’s official sales channels and major online retailers. With its open-back design, high-resolution drivers, studio-focused tuning, and advanced headphone monitoring plug-in, the H715 Reference is positioned as a premium option for producers, mixing engineers, mastering engineers, and serious audio creators seeking accurate reference headphones.
