Sennheiser HD 569 Around-Ear Closed Back Headphones - Black

Product Information

In a marvelous turn of events, they sent me a couple of boxes filled with headphones for me to measure, evaluate, and cherry pick for for good values. I still like my HD25SP's for when I'm not wearing my 'aids, the peak in the upper kHz region no longer a major issue and the bass is clean and not boomy/thick. I don't remember it as good sounding the few times i used it to listen to music, it was acceptable decent, but not more. Proprietary Drivers from Sennheiser provide clear, powerful sound reproduction with thrilling bass response, and the closed-back ear cups reduce ambient noise to a minimum for undisturbed listening pleasure. Measured my ears with Mimi app and it showed that I have less hearing loss in the 4K-8K region than in the regions below!

Whether you’re looking for a less-expensive critical-listening headphone, or something a little more portable, the HD 569 demands serious attention. As you can see from the specifications, the frequency range is fairly standard, but with a little more detail in the low end than you see on most headphones. Losing some detail, the sound never gets too bright or piercing, but if you live for the sound of strings, you may be a little disappointed. This means that, on occasion, you might be forced to utilise a convertor to plug your headphones into the hi-fi unit of your choice: a DAC or amplifier or somesuch.It benefits, it seems to me, from the fairly long development heritage of the HD5xx line of products. Current fashionable choices like booming lows and luxurious-looking materials that look like they came from the inside of a Ferrari are absent here. I like that the earpads are user- replaceable, which will allow owners to continue enjoying the HD 569 for many years to come. Cabling and compatibility: The Sennheiser HD 569 headphones have two types of detachable cables, each 3 m long, to which a 6.

Most importantly was an opening up of the upper midrange frequencies which injected life into the high-pitched backing harmonies that provided an essential tonal variation in the song.

The closed-back over-ear design of the HD 569 promises to enhance bass response but also gives you a measure of acoustic isolation to keep the surrounding noise out…or in, depending where you are and who you are. Hence, although lacking in a little character, the bass guitar was big and bold with no intrusive blooming. For a quick overview, the simple view also gives you the opportunity to evaluate the sound characteristics of the test candidate at a glance.The closed, circumaural (over-the-ear) design of the HD 569 is neither visually striking nor ugly—the frame is bulky and simple, with matte black plastic and velvet-like black earpads. Seems "not terrible" to me, considering the probable use case - most of them probably end up as TV headphones for the elderly. 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. The playback of the Sennheiser HD 569 appears quite dynamic, but at higher playback volumes it quickly reaches its limits (especially in the bass range) and then tends to rumble. They have large, thick ear cups with a soft padding that makes them fit very comfortably over your ears and even is comfortable for those who wear glasses.

If you’re in the market for a new portable headphone – and one that offers tons of accuracy – this is the headphone for you.The sub-bass synth hits that punctuate the beat are delivered with gusto, but booming bass lovers will find the accurate lows on the HD 569 less powerful than the bass responses of many heavily boosted competing models.

They are going to be a great option for closed-back headphones for just about anything but mixing/mastering. The creaking wood floors, dripping water, the rampaging hordes of visitors that turn up later in the film—all came across convincingly.

We reserve the right to refuse installation should our engineers think that the existing electrical or plumbing points are unsafe and in need of maintenance or if they are unable to install to existing furniture. The shorter cable is more for those that are using these headphones on the go with their smartphone. The dominant heights of these headphones offer many advantages, ranging from depth to stereo impression, giving the playback signal a strong three-dimensionality.
