Why we stock it

If the HP-90 is the destination, the HP-60 is the headphone most people should actually buy. The biocellulose driver has that slightly warm, vocal-forward balance that flatters real-world recordings. At 150 Ω it scales meaningfully with amplification: fine from a Duet, better from a Solstice.

Owner reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 ✓ Verified purchase

The recommendation was honest

“Emailed asking whether to stretch for the HP-90. They talked me DOWN to the HP-60 for my setup. Who does that? It's warm, easy to listen to for hours, and repairable. Customer for life.”

Vocals sound like people again

“Coming from consumer wireless cans, the mids are the revelation. Everything the guide said about impedance turned out to matter. It is noticeably better from the Duet than straight out of my laptop.”
