HEAVYS Teams Up With Guitar Virtuoso BERNTH
Modern metal guitar culture has expanded far beyond albums and live shows. Today, creators, educators, and technical players shape entire online communities — and few names are bigger in that space than BERNTH.
Now, HEAVYS has partnered with the Austrian guitarist and online educator for the Born To Shred limited-edition headphone shells, designed specifically for HEAVYS H1H headphones.

Who Is BERNTH?
BERNTH is an Austrian guitarist, composer, and educator known for:
- Extreme picking precision
- High-speed shred technique
- Progressive metal influences
- Guitar training content on YouTube
- Structured practice systems for modern players
Over the years, he has built a massive online following through technical guitar challenges, educational videos, and original instrumental music. HEAVYS describes him as one of the most recognized modern guitar influencers in the metal community.
His audience spans:
- Metal guitarists
- Progressive rock fans
- Technique-focused musicians
- Online music education communities
- Gear enthusiasts
That focus on precision and immersion makes the collaboration feel like a natural extension of the HEAVYS brand.
What Is the “Born To Shred” Edition?
The Born To Shred release is part of HEAVYS’ customizable shell collection for the H1H headphone platform.
The collaboration includes:
- Official BERNTH-designed headphone shells
- Limited-edition collectible artwork
- Snap-on interchangeable shell system
- Compatibility with HEAVYS H1H headphones
- Artist-approved visual branding
The shell system allows users to personalize their headphones while keeping the same immersive audio platform underneath.
Rather than standard band merch, the collaboration feels tailored toward musicians and players who see audio gear as part of their creative identity.
Built for Players Who Hear Every Detail
HEAVYS has positioned itself differently from mainstream audio brands by designing headphones specifically around rock and metal listening.
According to the company, the H1H platform includes:
- An 8-driver audio system
- Wide instrument separation
- Concert-inspired sound staging
- Active noise cancellation
- Wired and wireless listening modes
- Mobile EQ customization
- 50-hour battery life
For technical guitar music, that level of separation matters.
Fast alternate picking, layered harmonies, percussive rhythm work, and dynamic lead phrasing can easily blur together on generic headphones. The HEAVYS approach focuses on clarity and spatial depth — qualities especially important to modern shred and progressive metal listeners.
Why This Collaboration Feels Different
Most music collaborations focus on nostalgia.
The BERNTH partnership feels more connected to the future of metal culture:
- online musicianship
- digital education
- creator-driven communities
- technical performance culture
- modern gear aesthetics
BERNTH represents a generation of musicians who built audiences directly through skill, consistency, and internet-native creativity.
That makes the Born To Shred release stand out from traditional artist merchandise. It speaks directly to players, learners, and fans who spend as much time practicing riffs as they do listening to albums.
The Rise of Creator-Driven Music Collaborations
The HEAVYS x BERNTH release also reflects a broader shift happening across music culture.
Artists are no longer limited to:
- touring musicians
- label-backed acts
- mainstream radio artists
Today, creators with strong communities and specialized influence can shape gear culture just as powerfully.
For guitar-focused audiences especially, products tied to musicianship and technical mastery often carry deeper meaning than generic branding alone.
The Born To Shred shells tap directly into that world.
