Sennheiser HD 569 Around-Ear Closed Back Headphones - Black

Product Information

Bass response has a modest boost giving it good weight, but extension into the lowest octave is a bit lacking and bass is mildly distorted leading to a bit of confusion and slightly lacking textural resolve compared to best in class. The creaking wood floors, dripping water, the rampaging hordes of visitors that turn up later in the film—all came across convincingly. The biggest differences are in the 2-6kHz range where unexpectedly 5kHz is reported at a much higher level.

FWIW, I just got Sennheiser's HD 579 open back headphones, requires more power that my Fiio X1 can provide, has a big eq spike in the octave above the presence range, sounds great with classical music, particularly piano and harpsichord.And when combined with the noise attenuation of the closed-back design, they can bring out a lot of detail in what you are listening to.

CA1, CA2, CA3, CA4, CA5, CA6, CA7, CA8, CA9, CA10, CA11, CA12, CA13, CA14, CA15, CA16, CA17, CA18, CA19, CA20, CA21, CA22, CA23, CA24, CA25, CA26, CA27, CA28.The dominant heights of these headphones offer many advantages, ranging from depth to stereo impression, giving the playback signal a strong three-dimensionality. The only negative is that they might get a little warm over longer sessions due to the closed design.
