On Show at IFA 2001 Two New Hi-Fi Headphones from Sennheiser
22.08.2001
Sennheiser is presenting two new headphones for hi-fi and compact systems at this year’s IFA – the HD 477 and the HD 497. ”The IFA is one of the leading fairs with an international character. Sennheiser is making use of this platform to reinforce the company’s worldwide expansion also in this product segment”, explains Rolf Meyer, President of Marketing and Sales at Sennheiser.

The new headphones from the 400 Dynamic Sound range have been optimized even further with regard to their dynamic range and wearing comfort as well as the resolution of their stereo image in both breadth and depth. The bass sounds are full of volume and ”body” but are still clear, while the trebles have absolute brilliance. Even at low and medium volumes, listening to music becomes pure enjoyment, and thanks to their high wearing comfort and low weight you can spoil yourself for as long as you like. Their sturdy design and easily replaceable parts turn both headphones into a real long-term companion. Both headphones have a two-year warranty.
