Type
Over Ear

Type

Over Ear

Headphones with larger ear cups compared to on-ear headphones, which hug the ears.


They are more comfortable and provide better external noise isolation, but are more difficult to transport due to their larger size.

Generally, over-ear headphones can offer higher quality sound and deep bass compared to on-ear headphones of similar quality, thanks to their larger speakers.
Frequency Response
14 - 26000 Hz

Frequency Response

The range of frequencies that headphones can reproduce. The most common range is that of human hearing, 20 - 20000 Hz. A wider frequency range does not necessarily mean better sound quality.

  • (Bass) 20-250 Hz: Stronger bass, for depth. Ideal frequencies for listening to electronic or hip hop music.
  • (Mids) 250-4,000 Hz: The mid frequencies are stronger, suitable for better listening to vocals or orchestral music.
  • (Treble) 4,000-20,000 Hz: High frequencies affect the clarity and sharpness of the sound, for better listening to, for example, cymbals or the plucking of classical guitar strings.
Impendance
50 ohm

Impendance

The resistance that the speakers of headphones have to electric current. Usually, the lower the resistance, the louder the headphones sound, but the sound is less clear.

This size does not concern the average user as almost all headphones are 32 Ohms. Headphones with high resistance usually require an additional amplifier.
Sensitivity
108 dB

Sensitivity

The greater the sensitivity of the headphones, the louder they will sound at a specific volume of the source. Generally, values above 90db are considered very good. - **Above 100db**: Headphones with high Sensitivity produce more sound with less power. They can reach high volumes with low-power devices (e.g., mobile phone, laptop). - **Below 100db**: Headphones with low Sensitivity require more power to reach the same volume levels, so they may need a special headphone amplifier
Driver Diameter
-

Driver Diameter

The diameter of the headphones' speakers. Usually, the larger the diameter, the more powerful sound with full bass they can offer.

Foldable Drivers

Folding ear cups help reduce the volume of headphones, making them easier to transport.

Headphones with folding ear cups often come with a carrying case.

    Prefer another model. This specific one has a specific flaw: the low mids are boosted and managed throughout the entire midrange spectrum.

    This practically means that everything sounds as if there is a curtain between the ear and the sound: the bass is muddy and indistinct - I would prefer if it didn't exist at all.

    Otherwise, they are very good in terms of quality, sound isolation, comfort, and resolution with a nice stage. But what can you do... Personally, I corrected the bass (completely attenuated them with a soft EQ) to clean up the sound, but ultimately I realized that this is not a solution (you can't have EQ everywhere) and I returned them. If you dare, at least prefer the 569 which seems to have a different driver and better quality. Of course, with so much money, you start to think if it's worth bringing in an HD 58X from outside... which will cost around 200 but will cover you from all sides without experiments.

    For their price, they are wonderful. They have an open stage sound with good mids and highs. Obviously, there is no bass since they are open back headphones.
