Review: Sennheiser HD 569: Sennheiser's Best Kept Secret?

"The comfort, build, and longevity prospects for HD 569 are roughly equal to or better than most of its competition in this price point. HD 569 is well-built and replacement pads are eminently available, typical of Sennheiser. It has a decent comfort profile, being both lightweight and having moderately deeper cups than most studio closed-back headphones. The sound quality is solid, and may even be outright great for those who desire a darker-than-average tuning like myself.

For those reasons, I’m happy to recommend HD 569 as an option for those who want an affordable option that has fewer deal breaking flaws than I usually find in closed back headphones."

The best in class. Remastered.

As successor to our popular HD 500 series, the HD 5 range offers high quality and value in any aspect.

Powered by Sennheiser’s proprietary transducer technology including the “Ergonomic acoustic refinement” (E.A.R.) design, which channels the audio signal directly into your ears. Featuring a contemporary design that is both attractive and ergonomic. A real treat for all, who listen to their music with a sense of discovery.

The headphones that gives you more

Discover versatility, freedom and comfort of the HD 569.

• Enjoy the freedom of listening

The closed-back over-ear design of the HD 569 provides you with two benefits: Firstly, a great soundstage, brilliantly filled by Sennheiser’s proprietary transducer system with rich detail and a powerful bass response. Secondly, an effective acoustic isolation – outside noise stays out, the music stays in. So you can enjoy your music without disturbing anyone.

• Listen to music, take your calls

Excelling in versatility, the HD 569 comes with two detachable cables. One is a 3-m cable with 6.3-mm straight plug for home use. The other is a 1.2-m cable with a 3.5-mm straight plug, but most of all with a 1-button remote plus microphone that lets you manage calls.

• Like sound, like comfort

With its over-ear design, the HD 569 offers exceptional wearing comfort for even the longest of listening sessions – or phone calls, for that matter – thanks to its large ear cups and soft replaceable ear pads.
