Heavys H1H Headphones Review: Bass-Driven Power for Heavy Music Fans

The headphone market is crowded, but every so often a product comes along with a very clear mission. The Heavys H1H headphones boldly market themselves as the world’s first headphones engineered specifically for heavy metal. That’s a big claim—but after extended listening, it’s clear these headphones are designed with bass lovers and heavy music fans firmly in mind.

First Impressions and Brand Background

Heavys may not yet be a household name, but their focused approach immediately sets them apart. Rather than trying to appeal to everyone, the H1H headphones are unapologetically built for listeners who crave impact, weight, and physicality in their music—particularly metal, hard rock, EDM, and cinematic soundtracks.

Right away, the H1H feels purposeful. From the packaging to the design, it’s clear these headphones are meant to deliver a powerful listening experience rather than chase minimalist aesthetics.

Build Quality and Design

The H1H headphones feature a rugged plastic construction paired with plush, comfortable ear pads that sit well over the ears. Despite their solid build, they remain comfortable during extended listening sessions. At 410 grams, they are on the heavier side compared to many over-ear headphones, but once worn, the weight is well distributed and quickly becomes unnoticeable.

A standout design element is their foldable, collapsible structure, making them easy to store and travel with. They also ship with a dedicated protective case, reinforcing their practicality for daily use.

Another notable design choice is the reliance on physical buttons instead of touch controls. For many users, this is a welcome feature—physical controls are reliable, precise, and less prone to accidental input.

Technology and Features

The H1H headphones support both Bluetooth connectivity and wired listening via a 3.5mm jack, offering flexibility for different use cases and preferences. This makes them suitable not just for casual listening, but also for gym use, travel, or desktop setups.

Internally, the H1H headphones use an impressive eight-driver configuration—four drivers per ear, including dual bass drivers, a mid-range driver, and a tweeter. This multi-driver setup is central to the headphones’ powerful sound signature.

Heavys also offers a companion app, allowing users to adjust the EQ, customize their sound profile, and update firmware when needed. This level of control helps users fine-tune the experience to their personal taste.

Battery life is another strong point, with 50+ hours of playback, helped in part by the absence of power-hungry touch controls.

Sound Performance

As expected, sound is where the Heavys H1H truly stand out. These are decidedly bass-forward headphones, delivering deep, punchy low-end that makes kick drums, bass guitars, and drops feel physical and engaging. For heavy metal, this translates into thunderous drums and thick, aggressive riffs that feel alive.

Despite the dominant bass, mids and highs remain present and clear. Vocals and guitars don’t disappear, and with the help of the EQ app, users can easily rebalance the sound if they prefer more clarity or top-end detail.

The H1H headphones also perform well across adjacent genres. EDM and cinematic soundtracks benefit greatly from the powerful low-end, while hip-hop remains engaging, though still bass-dominant by design.

Noise Cancelling and Isolation

The H1H headphones include active noise cancelling, which effectively reduces background noise in everyday environments. While it may not outperform industry leaders in this category, it does its job well enough to keep listeners immersed, especially when paired with the naturally isolating ear pads and the headphone’s strong bass presence.

Final Verdict

The Heavys H1H headphones are a confident, niche-focused product—and that’s exactly their strength. They are not trying to be neutral, analytical, or universally balanced. Instead, they deliver an unapologetically bold, bass-driven sound that perfectly suits heavy metal, hard rock, EDM, and cinematic listening.

With solid build quality, long battery life, physical controls, customizable EQ, and a sound signature built for impact, the H1H headphones offer excellent value—especially at their discounted pricing. For listeners who prioritize power, energy, and immersion over strict neutrality, the Heavys H1H are an easy recommendation.
