Check how your mix sounds through multiple popular headphone models with Kali Audio’s new HP-1 Multi-Reference HeadphonesKali Audio has launched its first ever pair of over-ear headphones, the HP-1, which lets you switch between three voicings to check how your work will sound through the most popular headphones in use today.
Ideal for mixing and quality control in the studio, but also suitable for gaming and everyday use, the HP-1 headphones are DSP-powered and provide a “neutral, accurate representation” of your track.

HP-1’s key voicings include a studio mode for transparent sound that translates faithfully, a bass-heavy mode that replicates headphones popular with hip-hop and EDM listeners, and a consumer voicing that replicates the sound of popular, everyday headphones sold alongside phones and computers.

When producing or mixing, these voicings let you tap in and out of what your listeners will hear when playing back your work. They can be switched between with the press of a button, and a LED on the right earcup will change colour to indicate the selected tuning, along with a voice response that confirms what voicing is active.
A wired connection is available via a 3.5mm jack on the headphone and an included cable, which will give the highest fidelity playback for serious studio use, but Bluetooth pairing is also possible for casual listening.
Other all-round features include active noise cancelling, wireless calling, and physical playback controls. They offer a closed-back design, 40mm drivers, and a long battery life for 40 hours of playback on a full charge.
