Are you seeking to enhance your experience of home entertainment and unlock the full potential of your home audio equipment? Great news! Sennheiser has launched the next generation of its popular HD 500 series headphone range. The range is powered by the audio specialist’s proprietary transducer technology for excellent sound performance. Take a look at the enhanced ergonomics for exceptional wearing comfort and contemporary good looks.

Sennheiser HD 500 promises high-quality home entertainment audio

The new series includes three open-back designs, the HD 559, HD 579 and range-topping HD 599. There is also the closed-back design; the HD 569. All four models allow the listener to enjoy their choice of home entertainment. Exceptional wearing comfort is assured, thanks to the large ear cups and soft, replaceable ear pads. The headphones are created with Sennheiser’s “Ergonomic acoustic refinement” (E.A.R.) technology.  This way the audio signal is channelled directly into the ears of the listener for a more satisfying listening experience.

Our HD 500 series has been an immensely popular choice for those wishing to step into a new world of high-quality home entertainment audio. We are excited to refresh the range with great new designs and enhanced comfort that makes indulging in your favorite music or TV series all the more pleasurable,” said Robin Schweizer, Product Manager Select at Sennheiser. “As increasingly discerning consumers seek out richer formats such as Ultra HD video, Sennheiser is committed to creating audio solutions that make high-quality sound just as easy to enjoy every day.”

Sennheiser HD 599, HD 579, HD 569 and HD 559 models

Offering a step into the world of audiophile sound, the HD 599 is a premium headphone for those seeking sophisticated sound, design and build quality. This top-of-the-range model impresses with a natural spatial performance. Model HD 579 delivers a similarly high-quality performance, providing a real step up for a smart home audio investment.

Models HD 559 and HD 569 are the ideal choice for listeners seeking an optimal blend of all-round performance and quality. The HD 559 serves up a satisfying deep bass sound, while the closed-back HD 569 provides a rich and clear bass, but adds further flexibility by making it possible to enjoy a personal experience of great audio without disturbing others. The HD 569 also includes an optional 1.2m cable with an inline microphone and remote optimized for mobile devices.

Publisher

Marco Lisi is the publisher of Best of High End, part of AV Concepts BV. His path into audio started early: as a teenager he was drawn into the world of free radio, presenting shows and living immersed in music every day. In his early twenties he ran his own production studio for five years, creating jingles and commercials — hands-on training in sound design, pro-audio workflows, and critical listening through studio monitors that still shapes how he evaluates gear today. He also spent years DJing in clubs before moving into publishing, first at two earlier online magazines before founding Best of High End. His hi-fi and home cinema passion was inherited from his father, an inveterate system-swapper. Marco's first setup — a confirmation gift — paired AKAI separates with entry-level Bowers & Wilkins speakers, a brand he stayed loyal to for years as his system grew from stereo into full surround and home cinema. Like many enthusiasts, he went through an extended "audiophile" phase chasing the next upgrade, before settling into a more grounded view: gear as a means to enjoy music and film, not an end in itself. Years of critical listening have given him a well-trained ear — the ability to characterize a system or pinpoint a change in the chain quickly and accurately. Just as important, his teaching background (a Belgian "regent" degree in Dutch language) gives him the tools to translate those listening impressions into clear, readable writing.
