Are all these sentences correct? And what are the deferences in meaning?

1. I slept well after hearing his voice.
2. I slept well after heard his voice.
3. I slept well after I heard his voice.

Sentence 2 is wrong, maybe, "I slept well after having heard his voice." The other two are fine. They all mean the same thing.
