A rotary head assembly including a plurality of magnetic heads with predetermined azimuth angles. These magnetic heads are formed by mounting MR elements of MR heads and magnetic gaps in inductive heads so that they are exposed from an outer periphery of a rotary drum. End portions of the MR elements of the MR heads are positioned at the same height H0', and end portions defining the magnetic gaps in the inductive heads are positioned at the same height H0. The rotary head assembly is used in a helical-scanning-type magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus, which includes MR heads and inductive heads and which can provide a large reproducing operation output when forming azimuth angles at the magnetic gaps using thin-film magnetic heads.
