Re-Head is a specialized plugin designed to deliver the authentic sound experience of studio monitors directly through headphones. It employs a sophisticated head response model that simulates how the human head and skull influence audio perception from speakers. This approach addresses common headphone listening issues such as unnatural tonal balance and listener fatigue, enabling a more comfortable and realistic monitoring environment.

By combining stereo processing, impulse response treatment, and built-in EQ with a spectrum analyzer, Re-Head transforms headphone playback into a mixing room experience. It effectively removes the exaggerated in-your-face effect often encountered with distorted guitars and other instruments in headphone mixes. Users can also customize speaker positioning and brightness to tailor the sound to their preferences, enhancing the overall accuracy and comfort of critical listening sessions.

While Re-Head is not a substitute for traditional studio monitors, it significantly reduces the gap between speaker and headphone listening. This makes it an invaluable tool for audio professionals who need to work with headphones during tracking, remote sessions, or situations where speaker use is impractical. Its zero-latency design and features like channel flipping and room simulation ensure a seamless workflow without compromising sound quality.
