Sennheiser HD 559 Open Back Around Ear Headphone - Black/Anthracite

Product Information

However, the HD 559 can definitely hold their own with their different tuning, which foregrounds listening pleasure and I also preferred them for listening to rock music. They have a little bit a rough edge to them, especially when compared to the HD 650, but then again, which headphones don't in that comparison? It is stuck on the magnet and makes the air hole in the driver magnet smaller so air can pass through it with more restriction.

This is about what I expected from the entry-level model, though the overall dynamic sound probably lends some improvement to this modest impression.Can you please share links from mouser, farnel or elpro (or whatever for that matter) for components you recommend?

I moved to speakers for audio, and when I did want privacy for music, I used bluetooth cans and my iPhone.As I mentioned above, I spent many years away from my head-fi rig, and over that time I must have lost some of my discerning ear.

For example, instead of the protective grille on the outside of the headphones, here there is only a fabric covering. At the same time, the more expensive model also covers the upper range better and literally opens up another level of airiness. Note that only doing the driver mod but not using the filter will make the HD559 way too clear/forward/hard and a bit coarse sounding. However, it is clear that compared to the more expensive models, you have to accept slight compromises. If you wish to use such equipment, an alternative (shorter) cord is the obvious answer avoiding the protrusive 6.I'm not very knowledgeable about on the technical side so things like impedance and such I don't really understand yet. While bass is enough and of good clarity, the 100-200Hz area being even boosted a little, you won't get that sub-bass rumble which is typical to many open-backs.
