Sennheiser HD 569 Around-Ear Closed Back Headphones - Black

Product Information

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.

The copy I tested did not have this much channel imbalance and showed similarish response up to 1kHz as the measured left channel.

Using the Voice Memos app on an iPhone 6s, it demonstrated pristine clarity and even a little bit of richness in testing. The ear-enclosing Sennheiser HD 569 headset is aimed at Hi-Fi enthusiasts, gaming fans and cinema aficionados who want to enjoy their sound without being disturbed by external influences and without leaking noise into the environment themselves. They do get hot after a while in hot conditions, but the pads do a pretty good job dissipating heat compared to leather pads. Even on his last recordings of Chopin when he was 86 years old, the legendary pianist’s tone and phrasing were awe-inspiring. People who use these headphones find them to be quite durable and long lasting, as long as they are taken care of.

The Sennheiser HD 569 closed-back headphones are a very nice option for electronic drummers due to how they are designed and how they sound. On Jay-Z and Kanye West's "No Church in the Wild," the kick drum loop's attack gets plenty of high-mid focus, allowing its sharp edge to slice through the layers of the mix as one of the more prominent elements. I'd be happy with a headphone that meets the OE target, but I would not be happy with an IEM that meets the IE target. All Peter Tyson Extended Warranties are only valid for the original purchaser and are not transferable. Asked my iPhone to apply this audiogram to AirPods Pro (which are not bright at all according to measurements but sounded bright for me) - and it sounded so much nicer ( = listenable for prolonged periods of time) afterwards.

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.
