I backed a Kickstarter project called Heavys:
They've also got their own dedicated website:
Headphones with 2 frequency ranges and 8 speakers so you can listen to heavy music the way it’s meant to be heard. Personalized sound field for an optimized superior metal listening experience. Over 50,000 music fans Ordered a Pair. Engineered by Axel Grell. Start listening now

I want to say I backed the project around end of 2021, but regardless, I received my cans this past Monday. I'm one of the last ones to get them because I bought the bundled items, so a case, a Type-C cable, and a short and a long analog cable.
I've been using them for the last 6 days.
- They really do have a 50 hours battery life. And that is not standby - 50 hours of active use.
- BT pairing with my PC, phone and watch were flawless. It can only be connected to two devices simultaneously, but that is all I really ever need at any given time.
- Device switching is flawless - using them with my PC as active source, call came in, H1hs swapped over to phone, and as soon as call ended, it switched back to the PC.
- The sound is amazing. For the first time since I built this rig, I've been able to kill Nahimic completely, and only use Atmos for Windows audio output, and an EQ to slight increase the low and high freqs, and it works great.
Also - I don't just listen to Heavy Metal. I've thrown techno, trance, hard rock, classical, and hip hop at it, and all the genres sound good. I've also done some extensive gaming with it (all of my
Starfield this week has been using them solely, except for comparisons on Tuesday), and even gaming sounds good.
All of this has been over BT, I've not yet tried the so-called
analog mode - aka using headphone jack and wire. But for $180 total for my early bird pledge, and considering my SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless were almost $100 more in 2022, I gotta say this is probably one of my top projects backed.
