With some HP/amp combo, the boosts and preamp gain (loss of Dynamic range) need to be carefully considered to avoid issues with, amongst other things, too low a Max SPL or damaging your device. 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. At the same time, this design also guarantees that you won’t be disturbing others – even at higher volumes.

Cabling and compatibility: The Sennheiser HD 569 headphones have two types of detachable cables, each 3 m long, to which a 6. com and PC Magazine are among the federally registered trademarks of Ziff Davis and may not be used by third parties without explicit permission. Mid-period Neil Young and Crazy Horse’s Ragged Glory album, with its splendid feed- back and distortion, amply demonstrated the HD 569s’ rock cred. 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. In terms of esthetics, comfort, and build quality it's a no-brainer, the Sennheiser HD569 is easily superior.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 low impedance of just 23 ohms is an odd but welcome feature – this is only headphone in the new 5 Series to feature such a low impedance, making it the default recommendation for anyone using a smartphone or portable player. In the vast majority of cases we will not be able to install the cabinet doors to built-in laundry products as the fittings very rarely match up. Free of distortion or compression, this is an impressive sound that retains plenty of contrast and articulation. I am not usually a fan of closed back headphones, so I have a smaller comparison pool than open-back.

They're perfect for your home stereo system, with a mobile cable that makes them versatile to take on the go. Since their maximum sound pressure level is no higher than that of other headphones, it must be due to the combination of the factors “low impedance”, “closed/ear-enclosing design” and “acoustic irradiation angle of the ear canal”.Both rhythm guitar and organ were articulate and never masked by the dominant lower frequencies while those lower frequencies retained a measure of reverb with recognisable tails to add atmosphere and flavour. Volume, too is surprisingly loud for a 5 Series headphone, while the distortion is as low as that of the more expensive HD 579.
