Microphone brand Lewitt has been making microphones since 2009. In that time, it’s built up a loyal following based on the quality and value its products offer. Now the brand has announced the launch of its first pair of studio headphones, the wireless LW6 which designed for mixing and mastering, as well as monitoring and recording. With LW6, users get high-resolution audio wirelessly with an ultra-low latency and no compression.

Regular Bluetooth headphones can’t deliver Hi-Res audio with ultra-low latency that’s up to studio standard. However, the new Lewitt LW6 wireless headphones ship with a special transmitter that lets recording engineers, producers and musicians move around the studio without being physically tethered to the mixing desk or computer.

Lewitt has built its reputation designing and making innovative studio recording microphones which are used by Grammy-winning artists like Bad Bunny and Sabrina Carpenter. Now, with the launch of the LW6, Lewitt is entering a new market with a pair of wireless headphones designed for professional studio use that meet the requirements of experienced sound engineers.

Wireless Studio Performance

Lewitt’s new LW6 wireless headphones let artists and recording engineers move around the studio without being tied down by a conventional cable. Thanks to LW6’s zero latency, the headphones can track instruments and vocals without any noticeable delay or compromise on audio quality.

Unlike other wireless technologies, Lewitt’s RealSound technology uses an ultra-wide wireless band that delivers uncompressed audio with an ultra-low latency of almost 5ms. This latency guarantees the user has the same experience as a pair of wired high-end studio headphones, but without the need for a physical cable.

All users have to do is connect the included RealSound transmitter to the outlet they normally used for conventional wired headphones. The transmitter can also be connected directly to a USB-C port of a computer, cutting out the analog link in the chain. If the user is within 5 meters or 16ft of the transmitter unit, they will enjoy Hi-Res wireless audio transmission without any compression or noticeable delay, finally making wireless headphones a realistic prospect for use in the recording studio.

Precision Mixing, Mastering And Monitoring

Lewitt says it’s made sure that the LW6 headphones can provide the kind of reference-grade sound quality served up by most high-end pairs of closed-back reference headphones, ensuring an effective two-way sound isolation for recording and monitoring without the risk of the audio being picked up by the microphones. The closed-back design also ensures the headphones won’t spill out and disturb other people in the room.

When working in a recording studio, sound engineers want a transparent and natural sound that’s optimized for precision mixing and mastering. They don’t want artificially boosted sound with elevated bass or treble. Reference headphones must offer a clear and transparent tone so the sound engineers can mix and master the signal with accuracy. To achieve this aim, Lewitt’s engineers used enhanced measurement procedures by placing microphones in real ears as well as relying on standard measurement rigs.

Lewitt also lets users customize the sound of LW6 using a fully parametric 5-band EQ. Users can create individual sound profiles, either via the available desktop software or mobile app, before storing the profile directly on the headphones so they can reproduce the same sound no matter what source they are used with. Thanks to a built-in DSP, no host device or software needs to be connected or running in the background to get the customized sound.

The LW6 can natively boost their stereo realism by activating virtual studio monitors. This feature simulates a pair of perfectly tuned studio monitors located in an ideal mixing room. This helps the user make better mixing decisions and provides a more pleasurable experience for mastering sessions. The system is particularly suitable for mixing on the move or for working late in an apartment without disturbing others.

The new headphones also feature advanced monitoring functions for checking mixes like mono, side-stereo, side-mono or left-right swap. It’s possible to define three target volumes and, to protect hearing from dangerous high-level peaks, the headphones can be set with a defined threshold level using the loudness guard function.

I witnessed the loudness guard feature when testing. I has plugged the headphones into my computer without realizing the output volume level was set at maximum. Thankfully, the safety feature kicked in instantly, saving my ears and the headphones from damage.

To get the most out of the LW6, Lewitt has produced custom software for the headphones. All the metering in the software is k-weighted, making it particularly suitable for broadcast and mastering. Each feature can be assigned to the two hardware custom buttons on the headphones for quick access, either by single or double press, giving users quick access to a total of four stored shortcuts.

Like the sound profiles, these features run directly on the DSP built into the LW6 headphones and don’t require the headphones to be connected to the Lewitt mobile app or desktop software.

Lewitt has designed the LW6 headphones to have the kind of sound quality necessary for mixing. However, they have also been designed to be comfortable when used for long listening sessions. The earcups are stuffed with thick and comfortable memory foam for less leakage and passive isolation. Together with an adjustable headband, the LW6 headphones are designed to adapt to all head shapes, even when a user is wearing glasses.

A full charge of the battery on the Lewitt LW6 can provide a playback time of up to 21 hours. After 15 minutes of charging, the headphones can play for up to three hours, handy when someone has forgotten to recharge the headphones after an all-night session.

The LW6 can be easily anywhere, whether it’s a professional mixing desk with a headphone output or directly to a laptop using the USB-C port. As with any other professional studio headphones, there is also an analog 3.5 mm connection for using the LW6 with a cable, but the headphones need to be turned on as there’s no passive listening option.

While Bluetooth may not be good enough for critical studio use, the LW6 headphones have a Bluetooth option built in so they can be easily used with a phone or computer. This means users can use the same pair of headphones in the studio as they do for casual listening on the go with the same sound profile.

The LW6 are bundled with Lewitt’s Space Replicator software. This plugin lets users experience the headphones as if they are in real spaces such as a million-dollar mixing studio, a club or a car. The software is suitable for mixing and mix translation checks to see how the mastering sounds in a car or a live venue.
