The new product is equipped with 40 mm drivers, a built-in microphone for calls, replaceable ear pads, and boasts three DSP modes: Studio (with neutral frequency response); Bass Heavy (for bass); and Consumer (comparable to the sound of the familiar AirPods Max or WH-1000). Switching between modes is done with a single button press, and an LED indicator and voice prompts determine which mode is selected. The headphones can operate autonomously for up to 40 hours and are charged via a USB-C cable. In addition, the HP-1 can be used as wired headphones via a stereo mini-jack (3.5 mm).
