NEW! HP-1 Multi-Reference headphone Kali Audio, July 31, 2025

A Pair of Kalis You Can Take Anywhere.

The HP-1 is a professional over-ear studio headphone for music production, mixing, gaming, and everyday listening. With 3 selectable voicings, the HP-1 gives you a neutral, accurate view of your mix, and also allows you to check how your work will sound on the most popular headphones in use today. Quality-of-life features like Bluetooth, noise cancelling, and 40 hours of battery life make the HP-1 a fantastic all-around headphone.

Selectable Tuning Modes

The HP-1 is made to help you check how your work will sound on the headphones and other systems that people are ultimately listening on. With the press of a button, you can switch between:

Studio is a transparent, accurate tuning that will translate faithfully.
Bass Heavy is a fun voicing similar to headphones that are popular with hip-hop fans and producers.
Consumer mimics headphones sold alongside smartphones and tablets. The tuning is natural, balanced, and unobtrusive.

Quality Of Life

The HP-1 isn’t just a studio headphone. Because of the DSP chip processing the different tunings, the HP-1 also has quality of life features to make it a great headphone for casual listening and when you’re on the go!

Wired or Wireless Connection

Connect the included headphone cable for higher fidelity or use Bluetooth for on-the-go convenience. As your everyday headphone, getting used to the sound of the HP-1 will help you make better, more confident mixing decisions.

Active Noise Cancelling

When it’s loud out, engage ANC to block out the outside world.

Bluetooth Controls

Buttons on the headphone allow you to adjust level, go forward and back, and even pick up calls!

40+ Hour Battery Life

Get at least 40 hours of playback out of a single charge, then recharge with the included USB-C cable.
