ABOUT AUDEZE

Audeze ѕtаrtеd in 2008 in a gаrаgе when its founders саmе асrоѕѕ a rеvоlutіоnаrу flexible сіrсuіt mаtеrіаl dеvеlореd for NASA.

Taking this fіrѕt hеаdрhоnе to the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest, іt was a trеmеndоuѕ hit, and that success launched the company. Hаngіng оn that gаrаgе wаll was thе 2001 Sрасе Odуѕѕеу poster, and that іnѕріrеd the соmраnу’ѕ name. The founders wanted a name that hаd something to do with a “jоurnеу through audio,” so Odyssey would bе perfect, and that’ѕ how the name Audeze (рrоnоunсеd “odyssey”) wаѕ born.

Product Description

Headphones have been widely perceived to reduce listening space. However, these Clear headphones have eliminated these perceptions. How? By the use of open ear cushions. Clear is a circumaural open-back, which utilizes Focal’s hallmark aluminum and magnesium-alloy M-profile dome. This M-profile dome is used for lightness, high rigidity and superb damping. Clear assures you of power, neutrality and dynamics at par with high-end loud speakers. Furthermore, a one-inch frameless copper voice coil has been used in its internal arsenal to produce an ultra-strong magnetic field. Clear has a 55-ohms impedance rating which means that you can drive it with portable high resolution players.

The allure of Focal Clear headphones is beyond the detailed, realistic and balanced sound they give. It is the micro-perforated 20mm ear cushions, a solid aluminum yoke and a smartly shaped leather and micro-perforated headband design which makes Clear headphones a must-have. This design gives a feeling of weightlessness. The break up level of 24 kHz, the proprietary 75-micron-thick suspension capable, the sonic openness and ergonomics put Clear into a category of its own.

Features

• A hard transport case
• Three 24 AWG oxygen-free cables for use with every type of equipment
• 3m balanced cable (XLR 4-pin)
• 3m unbalanced cable (1/4” TRS jack)
• 2m unbalanced cable (1/8” TRS jack)
• 1/8”jack to 1/4” stereo jack adapter
• Hard-shell carrying case

Focal Clear Headphones reproduce high frequencies with extreme linearity and expertly handles. As a result, you will hear even the smallest elements and hard-to-replicate cues when you listen to music.

Absorber technology

The HD 800 S’ enhanced sound reproduction is made possible by the addition of the innovative absorber technology pioneered in the Sennheiser IE 800. This breakthrough preserves the audibility of very high-frequency sounds by eliminating the “masking effect”, a phenomenon where the human ear struggles to accommodate sound frequencies when low frequencies of higher volumes clash. This patented innovation is what the IE 800 the world’s top in headphones,

A 3-meter cable with both 6.3mm and 3.5mm jacks mean the HD 579’s are the perfect companion to any music system. The large soft earpads encase your ears perfectly for a truly immersive experience whilst the wide cushioned headband offers added comfort and security, the matte silver details and grey design make the HD 579’s a stylish addition to any home entertainment system without compromising on sound or comfort. For an encapsulating musical experience that can last for hours on end, the Sennheiser HD 579 over-ear headphones is definitely the one.

With the Sennheiser HD 579 you clearly enter the territory of aural excellence. Its acoustically open over-ear design works together with high-class Sennheiser transducers to create a detailed, well balanced sound image that you cannot get enough of. The full-sized design of the HD 579 leaves plenty of room for comfort. Large ear cups with soft replaceable ear pads, and a broad padded headband allow you to immerse yourself in your music for hours on end. With design touches such as matte metallic detailing and its stylish grey color scheme, the HD 579 looks just as incredible as it sounds. It will be the perfect addition to your home entertainment system.

• Low End: The low end of the HD 579 offers tight, well-controlled bass with plenty of impact and minimal bleeding. Male vocals remain distinct even among tricky instrumentation, and the level of contrast and articulation is commendable.
• Mids: Similar to the HD 599, the 579 seems to exhibit just a shade of compression in the upper mids
• High End: Bright with good detail, the sound remains well-controlled and free of piercing or screeching flaws.

Ergonomics and accessories

Sennheiser’s HD 579 headphones feature velour and memory foam earpads and a headband in faux leather. The model’s structure is made of plastic coated in ivory-colored metallic paint. The headphones come with two detachable cables: one 1.2 meters long with a 3.5 mm mini-jack connector and the other 3 meters long with a 6.3 mm stereo plug connector. A 6.35 mm stereo plug to 3.5 mm jack adapter is also provided.

Sound

The HD 579s are velvety-smooth with a gentle tone meaning you can comfortably listen to them for hours on end. Drums have impact, bass notes are rich and deep, and voices expressive – there are no harsh edges to the HD 579s. However, the HD 579s do sacrifice transparency and insight for their even tones: useful if you’re listening to low-resolution streaming on Spotify.

Design

The HD 579s have a sleek and sturdy design with incredibly soft earcups and headband cushion: every inch of them feels like a premium product. The HD 579s grip well and adjust easily to fit most sizes – and the compact build caters well for people with smaller heads. Make sure you try them on though, as the firm grip may not be for everyone.

Features and benefits:

First of all, they’re really easy on the eye. The Sennheiser HD 700 promises exceptional sound with and even tone. Comfort, though, is one of the headphones’ best features. With an adjustable headband and microfiber ear pieces that pivot freely and can accommodate any head size. Additionally, the headphones come with a two-year warranty.

Pros:

The Sennheiser HD 700 model has a noise-cancelling feature but you will not need it. The headphones fits so nicely and sound so big that you’ll hear nothing but the pure intricacies of the music. Constructed with a ventilated magnet system, there is virtually zero distortion no matter the range of the tone. Because they’re so comfortable to wear, you may forget you’re wearing headphones. Even after hours of listening, your ears will not be overheated and sweaty. They fit with just the right amount of pressure to ensure a quality listening experience. If you wear glasses or a hearing aid, there’s plenty of room so that the headphones don’t get in the way of either.

Cons:

The open-ended design is attractive and plays a role in the quality sound, but don’t expect to wear these in the office or on public transit. They require volume to sound their best and your music will leak from the sides enough to annoy your coworkers or the people sitting near you in public places. This model is best enjoyed at home or in a car. The Sennheiser HD 700’s weigh in at 14.4 ounces. That’s almost like wearing a 16-ounce beer on your head. Even though they’re comfy, they are bit bulky. Audiophiles are picky. They are very sensitive to all things aural and this Sennheiser model takes a lot of flak for their bass reproduction, especially if you’re into heavy metal, hard rock, rap or electronic dance music. In fact, some people complain that the headphones put too much emphasis on treble.

If you’re planning on using these headphones in a recording studio, don’t. The open-end design allows too much sound to leak and a nearby microphone can pick it up. The headphones come with a big, padded case. They are not meant to be portable or used in close proximity to other people. The cord is possibly the biggest flaw in the design of these headphones. It’s really thick and tends to kink. Also, there are no music controls on the cord.

While maybe not the most popular brand name as far as the general public is concerned what it comes to headphones, serious audiophiles and professional musicians, producers, and other experts that have to have pitch perfect sound have all fallen in love with Sennheiser headphones and speakers – and for good reason.

Designed specifically to produce the most accurate sound possible, these headphones from Sennheiser (the HD 650 headphones) are far and away some of the very best on the market. At the same time, they are some of the most expensive.

This review will break down whether or not they are worth that pre-price tag!

Sound Quality

As far as sound quality is concerned, it really doesn’t get any better than the Sennheiser HD 650 headphones.

Specifically manufactured to produce acoustically pitch perfect sound, these headphones having improved frequency response of between 10 – 39,500 Hz (-10 dB) while pumping that beautiful sound through scientifically engineered acoustic silk.

You’ve never heard music like this before!

On top of that, the high power neodymium magnets used throughout these headphones guarantee crystal-clear clarity across the board. These headphones might not be noise canceling, but they are going to produce incredibly accurate sound while at the same time dampening outside interference.

It really doesn’t get any better than this!

Fit

Designed as studio style headphones, these over the ear headphones are lightweight and comfortable for long term use, though they are a bit on the bulky side of things.

These headphones are going to fit very snug up against your head, creating and acoustic seal that might be at least a little bit uncomfortable at first. Given time, though (we’re talking about 15 minutes or so) you won’t notice any pinch – but will instead find these to be some of the most comfortable headphones you’ve ever worn.

Design

Attractive and very modern in their design aesthetic, there aren’t too terribly many more attractive headphone options on the market today. They aren’t quite as flashy as Beats, but they show off the technology used inside of these headphones in a smart and very modern look.

Sennheiser headphones have always been well-regarded by those “in the know” for their perfectly crisp and ridiculously clear audio fidelity, but outside of musicians and audio professionals there aren’t too terribly many people that are aware of this brand’s reputation.

That is changing rapidly thanks in large part to groundbreaking new headphones like the Sennheiser HD 600.

Sound Quality

Any time you’re talking about a Sennheiser product, whether it’s headphones, speakers, amplifiers, receivers, or something else entirely, you’re talking about a high-quality piece of equipment that was engineered within an inch of its life to produce the highest quality sound possible.

The Sennheiser HD 600 open dynamic hi-fi professional stereo headphones are no exception.

These headphones take advantage of neodymium magnets, a sophisticated lightweight aluminum voice coil system, and a detachable Kevlar reinforced oxygen free copper cable – amongst other components – that all work together to produce as close to lifelike sound as humanly possible.

This results in an audio experience you’ve never enjoyed before, and one you are going to fall in love with!

Fit

The fit of these Sennheiser HD 600 professional stereo headphones is absolutely second to none.

It’s amazing that the engineers behind these headphones have been able to pigeonhole so much advanced audio technology into such compact studio headphones, resulting in lightweight and endlessly comfortable headphones that you could wear for hours and hours and.

The lightweight construction materials really improve long-term comfort without compromising any of the sound quality you’re going to enjoy.

Design

In the design department Sennheiser absolutely knocks it out of the park again, creating an almost “rattlesnake like” texture all over these headphones that gives it a real edge you’re going to appreciate.

Clean, modern, and very understated (outside of that rattlesnake texture, anyway), these are somewhat unassuming headphones that look a lot classier and more professional than most anything else out there on the market today.

Phillips has always made pretty impressive headphones and speakers (and other pieces of consumer sound equipment), but they haven’t put out a true game changing piece of hardware in a while.

That all changed the moment that the Philips Fidelio X1/28 Premium headphones hit the market.

Designed and developed from the ground up with one purpose in mind – to give serious audio enthusiasts and professionals high fidelity headphones at an affordable price point – these headphones blow away the competition on multiple fronts.

But are they the perfect set of headphones for you?

Let’s find out!

Sound Quality

As far as sound quality is concerned, these premium over ear headphones are capable of near modern miracles.

Taking advantage of advanced audio reproduction hardware that has been compressed into a ridiculously tight footprint, these headphones are going to stone you when you listen to your favorite music.

Using advanced pre-tilted drivers, open back architecture, and finely tuned ear shells that reduce residents and vibration to reproduce flawless sound (and that’s just the tip of the iceberg), it’s easy to understand why so many professionals are turning to these headphones when they want to make sure that they get the music right.

Consumers are going to be absolutely over the moon with everything that these headphones break to the table!

Fit

The overall fit on the new Philips Fidelio X1/28 Premium headphones is quite comfortable, thanks in large part to the acoustic open back architecture of the actual cups themselves.

Rather than completely and totally encapsulate the ear, these open architecture cups are going to provide a bit of predictability on the back-end without ever threatening to compromise sound quality. This really increases the overall comfort level of these headphones, especially for individuals that intend to wear them for longer periods of time.

Design

Sticking to a pretty clean and modern design aesthetic, these headphones aren’t going to grab all that much attention on the street (like a set of Beats might), but they certainly aren’t “Plain Jane”, either.

Very much looking like the studio quality headphones that they are, they are a little bit over-sized, a little bit chunky, and very much attractive. You are going to absolutely love the look and feel of these headphones!
