ADAM Audio has introduced the H715 Reference, a new flagship open-back headphone aimed at studio professionals and serious listeners. The company unveiled the model on October 22, 2026 at the Amsterdam Dance Event, and lists the headphones at an MSRP of 649.99 euros (or US$699.99) with availability described as “available soon” through adam-audio.com and the ADAM Audio Shop on Amazon.
Design and target use
The H715 Reference is an open-back, foldable design intended to deliver a monitoring experience comparable to full-range speaker systems, according to ADAM Audio. The model is presented primarily for audio professionals working in mixing and mastering, but the company also includes a switchable Hi-Fi mode to broaden the headphone’s use for high-quality home listening.
Key features and software
ADAM Audio specifies the H715 Reference uses titanium-coated 40-mm PEN drivers in a steel mesh construction and has a rated impedance of 150 ohms. The company gives a frequency response of 9 Hz to 40 kHz. The H715 ships with the manufacturer’s Headphone Utility calibration software and integrates with the Sonnox ListenHub platform. Connectivity is delivered via a 3-meter cable terminated with a 4.4-mm Pentaconn connector.

The product announcement specifies the H715’s studio orientation while noting an explicit Hi-Fi mode to make the headphones suitable for home listening when paired with high-quality amplification. ADAM Audio also emphasizes that the H715 is intended to deliver a monitoring experience comparable to high-quality loudspeaker systems rather than a consumer headphone tuning.
Retailers and professional dealers handling studio equipment should note the listed MSRP and the stated online dealer channels; ADAM Audio’s inclusion of calibration software and Sonnox integration may be relevant for installations where consistent monitoring reference is required.
