Sennheiser HD 595 Headphones - Design Features

By Justin Larimore


Sennheiser really pioneered a new type of driver design with their HD range. Instead of having the drivers angled perpendicular to your ears, these are positioned higher up and face at a downward angle to deliver the sound straight into your ear canal. Traditional headphones have always just thrown sound at your ear with no regards to their basic anatomy. The end result is a much cleaner and tighter sound.

They are very well balanced headphones but some have said the bass is a little lacking. While this is true to a degree, a headphone amplifier will greatly improve the low end. In addition they feature a unique driver technology called Duofol which is supposed to reduce standing waves inside the earpieces drastically. It also features extremely lightweight aluminum voice coils which are known to produce superior dynamics to other materials.

The HD 595's frequency response is a very respectable 12 - 38500 hz which exceeds the abilities of the human ear itself. Very impressive indeed. It's also comes with a handy headphone hanger to keep them safe and out of the way. In addition, Sennheiser makes spare parts for these to this day so durability becomes less important as time wears on.

Since these are open style headphones, expect a lot of bleed from them. This is simply the price to pay for such great sound. You see, closed type headphones can never deliver the level of dynamics and fidelity that open headphones can deliver. It comes down to physics at the end of the day. The amazingly light and brilliant open design, makes these an experience in themselves.

Sennheiser really hit it out of the park with the HD 595 headphones. These are top quality, high end and affordable headphones that will last along time and bring you years of fun and relaxation. The design, technology and features make the HD 595's perfect for classical and jazz fans or anyone seeking more good quality sound in their lives. Highly recommended. This is a great gift too by the way.
