Sennheiser HD595 (Headphones)

[movingtables]

I'm going to be paying £99 for these.
I'm just wondering If anyone has a pair and could comment.
I'd hate to be dissapointed at this price



Technical Data:
Nominal impedance: 50 Ohm
Weight w/o cable: 270g
Headphone type: Open
Cable length: 3m
Frequency response: 12Hz-38.5kHz
Sound Pressure level: 112 db

The specs above mean nothing to me but they may do to you ?

thanks for any help/comments

Depends what you want from your headphones...

I've not personally heard them but the general consensus is they are a good all rounder, flat frequency response, good it all areas but not amazing in any. So if you like all genres of music would be a good choice.....if your into a particular kind, say dance then probably not the can to go for as they lack bass impact.

A few notes about the spec you've posted.
- They're open, so no isolation at all. Maybe an issue for you maybe not.
- Although they are easy to drive for 50ohm cans, you maybe disappointed if you try and drive them out of a portable DAP or similarly weak source.

Also if you shop around you can get them for £85 delivered.

thanks Bigsy.
the open aspect does put me off actualy
ah well back to the drawing board lol.

I mainly listen to music channels on Sky and on my laptop.
also sky movies and DVD's...

thanks chaps.

I like the reviews of the HD25's but i found the manufactures description a little odd to say the least:

Manufacturer's Description
The HD 25 SP-1 is a pair of closed dynamic headphones for persons with severe hearing impairment.

Bah...Chicken!

You probably did the right thing tbh....decent audio gear is unfortunately a very slippery slope!....Still you could have got some decent phones for £18 still!!

lol.
