Plant’s vocals shined with both ‘phones, but the sound was more “canned” and closed-in over the M50x. When not testing audio equipment or writing, you'll find him taking photographs or fiddling with circuit boards. Sound quality: The Sennheiser HD 569 wired headphones are distinguished by the quality of the sound they produce.

After extensive testing, I can confirm that using a convertor for headphones actually degrades sound quality. 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. I was out looking around in Microcenter, like one does, and found they have an isle with gaming headsets, and studio/audiophile closed-back headphones available to try. 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.Any purchase made through any other selling platforms will be subject to the Standard Warranty Period only. Though mid-bass centric the bass is tastefully emphasized delivering an appropriate sense of weight, and doesn't intrude on the mids as so often happens. 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. Synthetic suede ear pads over plush memory foam and "just right" ergonomics makes this a great headphone for long listening sessions at work without being disturbed by, or disturbing neighbors. 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.

While not offensive at all due to lack of high-frequency response, the sound was dull and especially impacted female vocals. Using the Voice Memos app on an iPhone 6s, it demonstrated pristine clarity and even a little bit of richness in testing.Note that there are restrictions on some products, and some products cannot be shipped to international destinations. The two models are more alike than different, but the HD 660 S sounds smoother, clearer, and more open. The EQ Score is designed to MAXIMIZE the Score WHILE fitting the Harman target curve (and other constrains) with a fixed complexity. 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.

While maybe not ideal for mixing/mastering, they are great for casual listening and for tracking or playing instruments such as electronic drums. At the same time, this design also guarantees that you won’t be disturbing others – even at higher volumes.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. 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. 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.
