Sennheiser is at its best when it isn't responding to trends and instead focuses on what made it an iconic headphone brand in the first place. The matte black finish of the main plastic parts resists fingerprints nicely, and feel quite sturdy. Budget minded audiophiles, social media producers, and audio pros looking for a solid performing affordable sealed headphone won't be disappointed. 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. Nothing sounds terribly boosted or sculpted, but it is, again, a bright sound with some wonderful anchoring in the bass realm, rather than over-boosted lows competing for the spotlight.

I hear a slight imbalance emphasizing 500Hz-1kHz a bit more than 1kHz-3kHz making vocal fundamental tones a bit stronger than their overtones, which I hear as a slight warmth and veil to voices. The over-ear HD 569 has big capabilities and wants to be pushed further - so why not pair up with a headphone amp?

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.

As successor to Sennheiser's popular HD 500 series, the Sennheiser HD 5 model range offers high quality and value in any aspect.Despite the subjective nature of the signal resolution, I welcome this brilliance, as well as enjoying the associated room impression. Please note: TV and larger floorstanding speaker deliveries are not available to Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, Scottish Islands, and Channel Islands. This also helps keep the highs from feeling overly harsh and they are rather smooth and easy to listen to.

The two models are more alike than different, but the HD 660 S sounds smoother, clearer, and more open. It provides a rich and clear bass, adding further flexibility by making it possible to enjoy the full personal experience without disturbing others. Midrange response is nicely smooth and integrated, and delivers a better sense of a coherent whole than most sealed cans. All in all, the Sennheiser HD 569 are a good choice, especially for those who are looking for all-round headphones that deliver a brilliant sound with differentiated mid-range and treble, both in front of the TV and on the PC/console, as well as on the road.

We’ve already covered the HD 559, HD 579, and HD 599, but today we’re taking a look at the Sennheiser HD 569 – an oddball headphone in the new 5 Series lineup.

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. 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. Of course, on the other hand, if you’re a fan of a more relaxed high end, this headphone may be right up your alley.As a result I’ve become pretty good at hiding my drumming from my neighbors and not annoying them in general, while playing drums as much as I want to, when I want to. After extensive testing, I can confirm that using a convertor for headphones actually degrades sound quality. However, the problems are modest, and the tastefull bass level and lack of intrusion on the mids delivers a satisfying listening experience.
