''The Headphone Masterpiece'' is the debut album of American singer-songwriter and guitarist Music/CodyChesnutt.
After his band, The Crosswalk, was dropped from Hollywood Records in 1997, [=ChesnuTT=] spent several months recording the record in his bedroom, which he used as a makeshift studio called "The Sonic Promiseland". Using a four track recorder and a pair of [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_MDR-V6 Sony MDR-7506 headphones]] as a studio monitor, he recorded and produced the double-disc record entirely by himself with only three other musicians appearing on the record (Sonja Marie on "With Me in Mind", RH providing saxophone for "Serve This Royalty" and Talley Thomas providing a spoken segment on "Family on Blast" and background vocals on "When I Find Time").
An eclectic record, it would feature elements of 70s soul, hip hop, synthpop, funk and 60s rock. That combined with the (literal) bedroom quality of the record and [=ChesnuTT=]'s sincere, almost diary-esque lyricism led the album to be considered a classic of [[NeoSoul neo soul]], a noted release in the lo-fi music genre and a precursor to the [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypnagogic_pop hypnagogic pop]] and [[PBRAndB alternative R&B]] genres.
