# Heavys

> Heavys is a New York consumer-audio company selling headphones, earbuds, gaming gear and collectible snap-on earcup Shells to rock and metal fans. Its H1H flagship uses four drivers per ear, front-facing tweeters, active noise cancellation and tuning led by former Sennheiser engineer Axel Grell. The commercial trick is broader than sound: Heavys pairs direct-to-consumer hardware with officially licensed designs that let fans wear their allegiance and pay participating artists ongoing royalties.
