ADAM Audio H200
Product information "ADAM Audio H200"
The H200 is a versatile closed-back headphone, developed from the ground up and benefiting from ADAM Audio's 25 years of experience as a manufacturer of monitoring solutions. Its product design, both modern and understated, brings style to any working environment without compromising functionality or audio quality.
PEEK performance driver
The H200 features a 40 mm driver made of polyetheretherketone (PEEK), guaranteeing a balanced frequency response from 2 Hz to 23.5 kHz, ample sound pressure and low distortion. For crystal-clear sound this is combined with a lightweight neodymium magnet system.
Synthetic-leather ear pads and soft fabric padding
The H200 is supplied as standard with easy-to-clean synthetic-leather ear pads. Soft fabric padding is available separately as an accessory. In both cases, memory foam ensures a comfortable fit, damps internal resonances and provides excellent isolation for recording and working in noisy environments. Differences in frequency response caused by the differing acoustic properties of the available ear pads can be compensated for via the DAW plug-in.
Anodised aluminium yoke, durable headband and replaceable padding
The choice of materials was made for strength, wearing comfort and durability. Accordingly, the selected headband components provide a firm but not excessive clamping force, while the padding is easy to keep clean and replaceable if damaged. The result is good external isolation of the ear, which keeps unwanted resonances under control, especially in the problematic frequency band between 70 and 150 Hz.
Bi-directional connectors
The audio cable can be attached either to the left or the right side via the angled, recessed 2.5 mm input jack with supplementary locking on the H200. Unlike bayonet or screw-in mechanisms, the locking used here releases under strong pressure to prevent damage to the cable or the headphone. This yields a more efficient connection to source devices and makes it simple to replace damaged cables.
Removable, durably enamelled cable
The supplied detachable audio cable is three metres long and was chosen for its durability, flexibility and low mechanical noise. It terminates in a 3.5 mm plug and is supplied with a 6.35 mm adapter. A shorter 1.2-metre cable and a coiled 3-metre cable are available as optional accessories.
ADAM Audio Headphone Utility Plug-in
The included ADAM Audio Headphone Utility software has been developed to optimise the H200 headphone and can be downloaded free of charge upon product registration. Although the H200 already sounds great out of the box, the impedance of the source device as well as different ear-pad materials influence the perceived sound quality. Furthermore, traditional headphones have limited stereo imaging compared with speakers due to their inherent design. The Headphone Utility software was designed for use on a DAW mix. It offers a range of optimisation tools as well as a spatialisation feature for a more natural stereo reproduction.

The German company ADAM Audio develops, manufactures and distributes high-end loudspeakers for professional use. Founded in Berlin in 1999 and still based there today, ADAM Audio has grown from a hidden gem into a true pioneer and global player in loudspeaker development. The name ADAM Audio comes from the specially developed Advanced Dynamic Audio Monitor.
The foundation for its success was laid by the newly developed X-ART tweeter, which is based on Oskar Heil's Air Motion Transformer from the 1960s. Sound in the X-ART tweeter is not produced by a piston-like moving diaphragm, as was customary until then, but by a pleated film used in the tweeter. This drives the air four times faster than it would move on its own. In fact, the Advanced Dynamic Audio Monitors quickly became the new benchmark in professional monitoring.
The newly developed tweeter immediately became synonymous with a crystal-clear, highly resolved sound and is ADAM Audio's most famous development. Further progress was also made through the use of modern materials such as rare-earth magnets and high-strength diaphragm films, which enabled new designs.
As part of continuous development, a successor to the renowned X-ART tweeter was already designed: the S-ART tweeter. New, solid-aluminium machined HPS and MPS waveguides were also developed to improve dispersion, projection and imaging of the sound and to enlarge the speakers' sweet spot.
Even in times of automated mass production, all ADAM Audio products are meticulously handmade and tested at the Berlin facility. ADAM Audio employs over 60 people worldwide and is represented in more than 75 countries. The fan base, made up of renowned recording studios as well as thoroughly satisfied hi‑fi listeners using ADAM Audio products, is large and continues to grow.
