Product Details Brand Sennheiser EAN 0615104052215 Manufacturer Sennheiser Model HD570 UPC 615104045538 Warranty 2 years warranty Features Over-ear, open-back stereo headphone Single-sided, 10-foot OFC (oxygen-free copper) cable Proprietary Duofol membrane reduces diaphragm distortion at edges 18 to 22,000 Hz frequency response Designed for comfortable long-term wear Product Description The HD570 Symphony hi-fi stereo headphones reproduce harmonic and superbly transparent sound with absolute minimum distortion. Its acoustic properties are true to what its name suggests. With a weight of only 7.4 ounces, a sophisticated design and a new damping technique, the HD570 is an ideal choice for the classical music lover.Incorporating BioNetic design, these headphones have the ability to adapt to the shape of the head. The HD570 Symphony is compatible with the most demanding equipment delivering superbly spatial, transparent sound reproduction. The headphones feature new damping element for controlling the diaphragm oscillation that optimally matches the headphones to all sound sources. Other features include lightweight voice coils for faithful sound reproduction; Duofol technology that virtually eliminates standing waves in the capsule; neodymium magnets for powerful dynamics, and extremely lightweight aluminum voice coils for highest transient response and vivid, smooth and warm sound reproduction. Sennheiser's HD570 headphone replaces the discontinued HD545 model. Like the model it replaces, the 570 uses an open-ear design that lets you clearly hear environmental sounds but also allows other listeners in the room to hear the music being played. The 570's earpieces also have a sharply pointed bottom, designed to more closely encircle the ear--those with particularly large ears may even find these snug. However, like all Sennheiser headsets, the 570s are extremely comfortable to wear for long periods of time, assuming the fit is good. And, like almost all Sennheiser headphones, the HD570s have a rich, seductive midrange and deep, authoritative bass response. Where this set differs from most of the line is in its top end. The 570's high frequencies are more pronounced than the usual Sennheiser sound, as typified by the glorious HD600 and now-obsolete HD580. If you find the sound of those headsets on the dark (high-frequency restricted) and unexciting side of accurate, you'll likely be delighted with the tonal balance of the 570. On the other hand, if you find those models just right, you'll hear the 570 as bright, possibly even extremely bright (with accentuated treble response). Of course, this also depends upon the source components you listen to. Cassettes and underpowered portable CD players might actually benefit from the 570's high-frequency boost, whereas most receivers or separate headphone amplifiers don't need it. Because the HD570 wants a fairly substantial signal to sound its best, however, it should not be used with most portable players. Dedicated amplifiers produce the best sound. This is a comfortable headset with a different tonal balance from most Sennheisers. We suggest careful consideration (abetted, perhaps, by a 30-day return policy) before committing to living with the HD570. However, if this is the sound you're looking for, the HD-570 is rugged and extremely well constructed. You'll get a lifetime of use out of them. --L.V. Phillips Pros: Lightweight design and padded headband make them comfortable for hours of listening Low-distortion Duofol diaphragms provide exceptional detail and clarity Single-sided cable makes it easier to move around while wearing headphones Cons: 64-ohm impedance level makes headphones difficult for most portable players to drive; works best with dedicated headphone amplifier Somewhat bright (trebly) tonal balance may strike some listeners as too much of a good thing Sennheiser's HD570 Symphony is a full-size headphone system incorporating audiophile-grade components, lightweight voice coils, and Duofol membranes for virtual elimination of standing waves (buildup of sound at specific frequencies that unfavorably color the sound). With a frequency response of 18 to 22,000 Hz and a 120-ohm impedance, the HD570 mates beautifully with both home and personal stereos. The HD 570's extremely lightweight aluminum voice coils offer the highest transient response and vivid, smooth sound reproduction, abetted by Sennheiser's new damping element for controlling diaphragm oscillation. Neodymium magnets ensure powerful dynamics. A detachable 10-foot OFC (oxygen-free copper) cord connects to the left earpiece only, reducing tangles and giving you room to roam. The 0.25-inch phone jack also comes with a miniplug adapter, making it compatible with any size headphone jack. The innovative BioNetic design adapts to the shape of your head, and the adjustable headband has an airy, plastic cushion for added comfort. Sennheiser's HD570 Symphony has replaceable parts and a two-year warranty. The HD 570 Symphony are audiophile-quality, open dynamic hi-fi stereo headphones with an advanced diaphragm design that eliminates standing waves in the diaphragm material. They are suitable for use with hi-fi and recording systems of the highest quality, in particular CD and DVD players or DAT and MD recorders.

It still delivers the same amazing sound like when it was new. I can hear every note from every instrument with it. When I play video games, I constantly look behind me. I swear somebody or something is breathing on my neck. The clarity is absolutely frightening. Even though it is full sized, it is light as a feather. Superbly comfortable. Do your ears a favor, buy this or similar quality headphone instead of those megabass, earcanal blocking earbugs. Rating - High quality, kind of bulky Great sound, high quality construction. Highly recommended. They are a litte heavy and bulky, but there are not many with this sound quality that are NOT. Rating - Absolutely fantastic. I've owned these headphones for now over 4 years, and I am still amazed at the clarity and the absolutely beautiful sounds they produce. I currently have the headphones hooked up to my Soundblaster Audigy card, set to Surround Sound, and it just sounds absolutely fantastic. Music, games, movies... what have you. These things are durable as hell, as well. I've recently went to Sennheiser's website and purchased replacement ear muffs (hair gel has turned them rock solid), a new head band, and a new cord (which ... Read More Rating - Sennheiser Rocks I've had the HD570s for over a year now and I use them EVERYDAY. I originally thought 100+ was too much for headphones, but I never regret purchasing these! The headphones are very comfortable and the sound quality is phenomenal. I highly highly recommend these to everyone! Rating - Great price for audiophiles, but indeed, fragile. There are no other headphones that compare to this one in sound fidelity, comfort AND price. Definitely great sounding headphones. All those reviews claiming bass response is low or treble is too high are overstatements, and probably didn't allow some hours of break-in. The higher fidelity the headphones are, means usually you will have higher resistance, these being 64 Ohms. Some of the professional headphones use 120 or even 300 Ohm drivers. Of course you'll get lower volume, some of these are meant to ... Read More see more reviews See More Sennheiser products
