Sennheiser HD 559 Wired Over Ear Headphones
- Over-Ear Fit: These headphones feature large ear cups that fully encompass the ears, offering superior comfort for extended listening sessions.
- Open-Back Design: The HD 559 has an open-back design that allows sound to move freely, creating a more natural and spacious sound. This design results in better soundstage, but it also means they leak sound and don’t block external noise as effectively.
- Soft Ear Cushions: The cushioned ear pads are designed with soft fabric to ensure a comfortable fit and reduce ear fatigue.
- Lightweight Build: Weighing around 240 grams, these headphones are lightweight, enhancing comfort for long hours of listening.
- Impedance: With an impedance of 50 ohms, the HD 559 delivers clear and detailed sound, providing a good balance between power and audio quality. These headphones can be driven by most audio devices, but they perform best with an amplifier.
- Frequency Response: The headphones offer a wide frequency response range (typically 15 Hz to 28,000 Hz), ensuring that both low and high-end sounds are well represented.
- Open-Back Sound: The open-back design provides a natural sound signature with a wide soundstage, making the listening experience feel more immersive and expansive. It also gives the music a more “live” feel, though it may not be ideal in noisy environments.
- Bass and Treble: The bass is deep but controlled, providing good punch without overpowering the midrange and treble frequencies. The treble is clear, though not overly sharp, ensuring a balanced audio profile for a variety of music genres.
