| Sennheisers Five Series Flagship dynamic headphone |
The 590 is intended for high-end hi-fi use, with neutrality, clarity and
long term listening comfort as design aims. It is not a DJ or dance
headphone and is specifically engineered as an open-back phone.
Sennheiser make a range of specialised closed phones for isolation
necessary and ultra-loud applications.
Designed for High-End audio customers and studio quality monitoring, the HD-590 is a no-compromise, low resonance design, featuring strengthened capsules, stainless steel grilles, and advanced drive unit technology.
The result is one of the best sounding dynamic headphones made - and as Sennheiser never forget comfort, the 590s are great for long term listening.
The sound
Sennheiser's open-back design allows listeners to perceive their natural acoustic environment. This coupled with the low colouration drivers, makes for a spacious 'out of the head' sound. The 590 is voiced for a neutral balance with deep bass, smooth extended highs and a clear articulate midband.
Technology
|
|  | A new transducer orientation (patent pending) ensures a better
| | localisation of sounds and a superbly natural sound reproduction.
| | A sintered damping element controls diaphragm oscillations to enhance clarity. |
Technical background.
|
| | Duofol transducer welds two Mylar films to make one rigid diaphragm. This is light and self damping, reducing resonances in the diaphragm itself and reducing flexing when driven hard
| | Lightweight 18mm Aluminium voice coils give superb transient response & linearity
| | Neodym-Iron magnets in a computer optimised design, help deliver deep, low distortion bass.
| | One-sided low noise OFC headphone lead. 99.99% Oxygen Free Copper FC for clarity, woven Kevlar carbon-fibre strands for strength. (it looks thin, but is very tough) |
NOTE
Sennheiser Exclusive: this OFC lead is connected to the headphone by a 2.5mm micro-jack, unplugs for service or replacement and is designed so that if you snag or trip over the lead it will unplug before the lead gets damaged.
|
| | Oval capsules sit comfortably around the ear with soft velvet
| | (replaceable) earpads
| | Adjustable padded headband with 'cardanic' joints gives a secure,
| | comfortable fit
| | Outstanding frequency response 12-38,000 Hz (-10dB/1kHz) |
SOFA TEST
Put a pair of headphones on a sofa and sit on them - many will break. Sennheisers are made of almost unbreakable flexible plastics and just bend.
