Acoustic Design: The HD 569 has a closed-back, circumaural (over-ear) design which provides effective acoustic isolation, keeping outside noise out and music in. This makes them suitable for use in shared spaces without disturbing others.
Sound Quality: The headphones are powered by Sennheiser's proprietary transducers, delivering a frequency response of 10 Hz to 28 kHz and a rich, detailed sound. Reviewers note a great soundstage for a closed-back model, with clear mids and highs, and a satisfying bass response.
Comfort: Featuring large ear cups with soft, replaceable velour ear pads and a padded headband, the HD 569 offers exceptional comfort, even during long listening sessions. The 'Ergonomic Acoustic Refinement' (E.A.R.) design channels the audio signal directly into the ears for an optimal listening angle.
Versatility & Cables: The HD 569 comes with two detachable cables for different applications:
A 3-meter cable with a 6.3mm straight plug for home hi-fi systems or studio gear.
A 1.2-meter cable with a 3.5mm straight plug and a 1-button in-line remote with microphone for managing calls and music playback on mobile devices.
