The titanium-plated 150 Ohm drivers feature dual-sided connectivity and lay flat, allowing the headphones to be delivered in a hardshell case for safe transportation and storage. The package is completed by magnetically attachable soft cloth and faux leather earpads, a 1.3 m coiled studio cable, and the dedicated Hi-Fi cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe H715 Reference is strengthened by an included suite of tailor-made software.

The engineering team has achieved balanced tonal character, an exceptional bass response, with ultra-low distortion and plentiful SPL.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eTitanium-Plated PEN Drivers\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eResponsible for the sound reproduction of the H715 Reference, are custom designed Titanium-plated 150 Ohm PEN drivers. Within the assembly are ultra-strong neodymium magnets with meticulously tuned suspension and a patent-pending ventilation system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe drivers are angled and sit within a permeable, woven steel mesh which contributes to the transparency and openness of the headphones. The position of the driver outlet has been carefully considered and it’s surrounded by a dense acoustic material to dampen unwanted resonance peaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eErgonomic Design\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA major part of any headphone design is the mechanical engineering, which influences comfort and durability. Here, the H715 Reference excels with a spring steel headband for a secure fit for all head shapes and sizes. The headband padding features a central cutout to reduce pressure on the sensitive crown area, while the ultra-soft memory foam ear pads adapt to the shape of the head around the ears. The headband itself is secured to the earcups with milled aluminium yokes. The earcups can be folded flat, and, with the included hardshell case, you can take your reference headphones wherever you go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSoftware Expertise\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eADAM Audio has deepened its relationship with software experts Sonnox to expand the Headphone Utility plug-in. It offers precise calibrations for ADAM Audio headphones, including user-adjustable crossfeed, to better translate loudspeaker mixes to headphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition, ListenHub is included with the H715 Reference. This virtual monitoring hub allows you to line up reference tracks from streaming platforms, match loudness, and check mono, sides and balance. The Headphone Utility Plug-In can run directly within the MacOS ListenHub application for system-wide and source-independent calibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHi-Fi Mode\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who wants to experience music without compromise, the H715 Reference can be connected to a balanced amplifier output via the additional 3 m double-entry cable that features a 4.4 mm 5-pole Pentaconn jack. Hi-Fi Mode is activated by pressing the recessed button inside the left ear-cup with the included metal pin. This splits the common ground between the left and right earcup to allow the double-entry cable to deliver balanced audio via phase inverted signals from a differential amplifier. With another push of the button, the common ground is restored, and the regular single-entry cable can be used again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eModular Construction\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eADAM Audio approach headphone design with an understanding that some components may need to be replaced due to normal use of the device. Headbands and earpads will undergo a lot of stress during their lifetimes and will become worn. Cables can fray, and components can become damaged due to improper storage and transportation. With dual-sided cable connectivity and replaceable cables, exchangeable earpads and headband padding, and a high-quality carry bag, the H715 Reference was designed with years of use in mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAcoustics\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransducer Type: Dynamic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcoustic Principle: Open back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEar Coupling: Circumaural\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransducer Diameter: 40 mm (1.6\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransducer Magnet: Neodymium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiaphragm Material: Titanium Plated PEN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElectroacoustic Performance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNominal Impedance: 150 Ohm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Range, re 1 kHz and -3 dB: 9Hz-40kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax Sound Pressure Level at 1 kHz: 113 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensitivity: 1 kHz\/1 Vrms, 1 kHz \/ 1 mW: @1 Vrms = 102dB SPL, @ 1mW = 94dB SPL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax Input Power Handling: 100mW (3.8 V)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContinuous Input Power Handling: 30mW (2.12V)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHD at 1 kHz and 100 dB SPL: \u0026lt;0.05%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElectronics\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnectivity - Ear Cups: 2.5 mm (1\/10\") TRS jack plugs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnectivity - Source: Studio cable: 3.5 mm (1\/8\") TRS jack plug (straight), adapter for 6.3 mm (1\/4\").
