Kali AudioHP-1 Multi-Reference Studio Headphones With Bluetooth
1/10
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
HP-1 gives mixing and production work three onboard reference options: Studio, Consumer, and Bass Heavy. Switch among them with the power button to check a track against alternate tunings without changing headphones. The closed, circumaural build uses active noise cancelling to reduce distractions, and 40 mm drivers cover 18 Hz–22 kHz. Bluetooth plus 3.5 mm wired use, a 40+ hour rechargeable battery, and a foldable design with carrying case also suit phone QC, calls, and travel.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Checking a mix in Studio, Consumer, and Bass Heavy reference modes during a production session.
- Quality-checking tracks from a phone over Bluetooth while away from the main studio.
- Long sessions in noisy rooms where active noise cancelling supports concentration.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Listeners who specifically need open-back headphones; the HP-1 is a closed design.
- Workflows that require DSP bypass; the headphone's DSP is not bypassable.
