Sennheiser HD 569 Around-Ear Closed Back Headphones - Black

Product Information

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! This also helps keep the highs from feeling overly harsh and they are rather smooth and easy to listen to. The EQ Score is designed to MAXIMIZE the Score WHILE fitting the Harman target curve (and other constrains) with a fixed complexity. This is because they deliver exceptional sound quality thanks to Sennheiser's proprietary driver technology and Ergonomic Acoustic Refinement design. Speech intelligibility in audio signals, on the other hand, is guaranteed by the special mid-frequency image of these headphones; voices in speech productions and pop music can therefore always be heard very well.

While the HD 569 headphones are no slouch in the low frequency department, they're probably not going to give you the boosted sound you're after if you're looking for big bass. I have found through raw frustration of annoying my fellow discordees that my boom-mounted Audio-Technica lets all the background noise in, including things like my mouse, keyboard, loud cars outside, shuffling in my seat, etc. I compared the Sennheiser HD569 with the Beyerdynamic DT770 pro and the Sennheiser won because it has the oval shaped earcups. Should you wish to contact the manufacturer direct for any reason, we have also provided this information within the associated brand sections. In games and cinema sound, audio material with pronounced program dynamics becomes a problem as sound effects, such as explosions, can not only hurt the protagonists in the game/movie.

With some features mirroring the higher end 579 and 599, though, just how different is this headphone? I had lost a little bit of faith in the universality of the Harmann curve after I realized that its target for the highs is too bright for me. 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. The Sennheiser HD 569 closed-back headphones sound really nice overall and have enough comfort to allow them to be worn for long periods of time. The suede ear pad material covers a very compliant memory foam and provides a good sized oval opening (72mm x 46mm) that has good depth with a little extra space behind the rear of the pad for the outer part of your pinna.

While maybe not ideal for mixing/mastering, they are great for casual listening and for tracking or playing instruments such as electronic drums.
