Detailed description

In 1991, we created the best helmet in the world. We had baptized him Orpheus. Today we start again. In all its mystical and timeless beauty. Designed to perfection. Equipped with unique features and state-of-the-art technology, this headphone transforms music: you no longer listen to it, you live it.

You’ve probably never seen a helmet of such beauty. But it is only a mouthful. Watch the Sennheiser HE 1 wake up gradually after contact – allowing the tubes of its amplifier to reach their optimum temperature. Then put it on and travel in the heart of pure sound. Where you’ve never been. In places hidden in your music. On vinyl. On CD. In high-resolution data files.

The advantages of tube amplifiers and transistor amplifiers – with the Sennheiser HE 1, you have them all. Thanks to patent pending circuit design. With its vacuum tubes connected to the spring-damped marble base to avoid structural noises and its belt of high-quality quartz lamps that protect against overhead noise, this state-of-the-art amplifier delivers ultra-high pulse fidelity For an ultra-low distortion level. For digital / analog conversion, the amplifier can receive digital signals through optical and coaxial SPDIF inputs or the USB input, it also accepts high-resolution PCM and DSD data. The music data is converted to analog signals using the 8 internal D / A converters of the ESS SABER ES9018. Four channels are used in parallel for each side of the stereo to improve accuracy and reduce the level of distortion and noise.

The exceptional design of the Sennheiser HE 1 combines form and function. Its amplifier rests on a base made of glass and a massive block of Carrara marble. This luxurious natural stone – made famous by Michelangelo’s renaissance sculptures – contributes to the beauty of the object but also prevents the sounds of structure. For a visually beautiful design, the control buttons benefit from meticulous realization of the highest quality. Each is machined in a single block of aluminum before its chrome plating. It is music made object.
