H200 Closed-Back Headphones with Detachable Cable, Modern Industrial Design Providing Exceptional Sound Quality

I don't have HD280's left but these strike me as a direct replacement, closed-back for studio use, good isolation, a good tight fit so the thing doesn't fly off your head when rocking out. I also had HD380 which were a lot firmer than the 280 and gave a good reference on dynamics, but overall liked the tone of the 280. These Adam HD200's are firmer still, but wait...there's a plugin! Using the plugin you can change the tone quite a bit. I have left the leather pads on that it came with (who knows how available spares for this fairly rare can will be when I need them?) but you can set the plugin to soft cloth profile anyway and the sound goes from Unity Rock hard (hardest sounding speaker I ever heard) to Dynaudio soft and rich with a full low end. You can soften the sound of a driver but not harden it, so this makes perfect sense why they went this way. I also like the UNR option the same, but it is a much more subtle change. I understand the crossfeed option but it more or less collapses the stereo width so I would just try it as one of many reference points and otherwise leave it off. Most people are listening in headphones anyway so your mix should work without it. As a tracking can these are unforgiving which may be worse for the less confident but better for hearing parts buried in the rough mix one should be responding to. A critical listening can I would say. And the 32ohms is LOUD. Very high output! Be careful accordingly. The cable I understand can be a problem, it's the fairly standard mini jack (is that 1/16"?) but it has a friction grabber rather than the Sennheiser/Neumann twist lock thing. Who knows if I will be able to get official replacements again, but...I yanked the cable from the NDH-20s which are available here and it fit in there fine and stayed put. Speaking of the NDH-20, those are much heavier and less comfortable but they are a more refined sound than these, one would hope so for the price. I do like the fact the cable can go in either ear as you prefer! That also gives a backup jack, those jacks can be impossible to replace. A good price and ADAM gives nice free plugins on the account sometimes and I've enjoyed ADAMs since I got the S3As years ago. I think this review will steer you exactly right with these. Apparently the higher end models are even better. And btw, these do not sound or feel like Beyers AT ALL no idea why a reviewer elsewhere said that. This is like an updated HD280/380 but with a Sonnox-developed plugin that works well.

Comfortable. Clear. Accurate sound quality. The fit: The H200’s fit perfectly. I have a big head. But I like a firm fit. Don’t have to worry about them falling off. I’ve worn them for 4-5 hours at a time without discomfort. Sometimes when I go to get up I forget that I have them on. Sound: The sound quality is great. Balanced. Natural. Sounds good at all volumes and across the frequency range. Bass is good, keys are clean, and the brass true. Guitar (acoustic & electric sound great). Great for mastering. The occlusion actually allows me to work for hours without distraction. I’ve spent more for headphones and gotten so much less. Usually you get what you pay for. With the H200’s you get way MORE. The bonus free software actually made the bargain better. Actually permanently added it to my vocal chain. Adam Audio will be my first stop for future sound equipment purchases.

Been listening to reference tracks on them for about two days getting use to them, but only orchestral recordings. The natural "flat- pure" signal is alright. Sounds good, easy to get use to and for tracking. Quality feels right. Slightly on the heavier side. So, Sonarworks doesn't have this profile yet and not sure if it will since the H200 has it's optional free software plugin you can download which will include a crossfeed and it's own neutral profile. As for orchestral music, one of the headphones that I liked the most for strings in particular was the AKG k240 when paired with Sonarworks. They were a borrowed pair of semi-open back style that brought the orchestra forward. The price for the H200's seems right or even a bit over in value. A little surprised they didn't charge a bit more. The fit is ok. I wear glasses and need the obvious break every 15 minutes. After awhile they do feel on the heavy side. They do not feel too tight though.

Sound good. Great value. Fit was tight for me. Extending helped, but needed a break after a short while. They ran warm, too. Ready to swap out the pads, but soft replacements were out of stock.

Absolutely loving these phones! I use these for location recording, and not only do they sound very nice, the isolation is excellent. Highly recommended.

They are ok

Superbe, go get one for yourself

Great first full release from Adams!

側圧は強めですが、メガネをかけた状態で使用していても痛くなるようなことはありませんでした。とはいえ、長時間つけっぱなしは少し疲れます。

Produit professionnel, 5 étoiles pour la robustesse, le son et le design. J’ai l’impression de porter des monitoring Pro sur les oreilles 🤣. Bravo ADAM.

ich habe nach langer Recherche die ADAM Audio H200 Studiokopfhörer erworben und bin äußerst zufrieden. Die geschlossene Bauweise sorgt für eine hervorragende Abschirmung von Außengeräuschen, was besonders bei Aufnahmen und in lauten Umgebungen von Vorteil ist. Die 40-mm-PEEK-Treiber liefern einen klaren und ausgewogenen Klang über das gesamte Frequenzspektrum, sodass ich selbst feinste Nuancen in meinen Produktionen präzise wahrnehmen kann. Ein besonderes Highlight ist das mitgelieferte "Headphone Utility" Plugin, das eine Externalisierungsfunktion bietet. Diese simuliert das Hören über Lautsprecher und erleichtert somit das Abmischen über Kopfhörer erheblich. Die Möglichkeit, das Kabel sowohl links als auch rechts anzuschließen, finde ich toll. Der Tragekomfort ist auch sehr gut. Insgesamt überzeugt mich der ADAM Audio H200 durch seine hochwertige Verarbeitung, den klaren Klang und die durchdachten Funktionen, die mir den Studioalltag erleichtern. Ein Kopfhörer, der sowohl im professionellen Umfeld als auch für ambitionierte Hobbyisten eine ausgezeichnete Wahl darstellt.

Muito bom !!!

I have a small'ish collection of IEMs and headphones, and desktop monitors (Presonus, M-Audio and Adam Audio)). I use Tidal for all my music I recently bought a pair of Adam Audio D3V's and was blown away by the power, clarity, bass, sub bass... literally everything about them... I wanted to add to my headphone collection, with something new - have FIIO FT1s, Meze 99 Classics, Bose QC35, B&W PX7) - and after hearing the D3V's I decided to try to H200s They are simply superb! The fit is quite tight, great isolation Everything about the sound is like having a couple of mini D3V's strapped to your head! The high, mids, lows, sub, staging are all spectacular. The response and sheer clarity of these are second to none (that I have ever tried) I highly recommend these to anyone wanting high level headphone sound without the high level cost Now a quick 'non-audiophile' summary - These deliver gorgeous clear sound, loads of punchy base, clear high ends, fantastic spacial staging - they'll take your kit & music to levels you didn't think were possible For this money, they're an absolute steal! Just buy a paid and see for yourself p.s. I see some reviews complaining about the length of the cable. Gees. Too long, too short, wrong colour... whatever next. Yes it's long (3m - about 10-11ft), thats great, it gives utility. If you're a lot closer to your kit, here's an idea it appears most don't think of - roll it up!
