The HE 1 was crafted with carefully selected materials; amplifier housing was crafted from granular, inhomogeneous Carrara marble and is freely suspended with the amplifier. At the heart of the amplifier are eight vacuum tubes that process the incoming signal. The tubes themselves also have a high-quality patent-pending enclosure consisting of quartz-glass bulbs that perfectly shield them from their surroundings.

The headphones, fully made in Germany, include about 6,000 pieces that make up the Orpheus HE 1 each unit takes up to 400 man hours to build. The combination of outstanding technology, exquisite design and the highest-quality materials is also continued in the headphones themselves. The genuine leather ear cushions are crafted in Germany and ensure the highest possible comfort even over several hours. At the inner side of the cushions, hypoallergenic, breathable microfiber fabric provides additional acoustic absorption. All these materials form an ingenious combination of design, comfort and function – for a unique audio experience that appeals to all senses.
