Both the DT770 pro and the DH569 are closed back headphones whose sound quality aren't much different. Bass response has a modest boost giving it good weight, but extension into the lowest octave is a bit lacking and bass is mildly distorted leading to a bit of confusion and slightly lacking textural resolve compared to best in class. Customs duties can apply for shipments to any countries outside of the UK depending on where the product you have bought is made.

With some HP/amp combo, the boosts and preamp gain (loss of Dynamic range) need to be carefully considered to avoid issues with, amongst other things, too low a Max SPL or damaging your device.

Occupying a unique position in the HD 500 series, the HD 569 is an excellent addition to your home entertainment system, but its closed-back, around-ear design makes it equally suitable for use in any listening environment.My long-running fascination with Sennheiser headphones dates back to the first ones that I bought in 1972: the HD 414 with canary yellow ear pads.

The copy I tested did not have this much channel imbalance and showed similarish response up to 1kHz as the measured left channel. Bass, via the upright, was solid and pushed the track along at a steady rhythmic pace while the piano, which can often be submerged in the mix, was easily recognisable, adding further layers to the mix. Should you wish to contact the manufacturer direct for any reason, we have also provided this information within the associated brand sections. However, their powerful reproduction of low-frequency transients is unclean as, at almost all low frequencies, a cabinet resonance can be heard that makes the bass sound a little sleepy. Both rhythm guitar and organ were articulate and never masked by the dominant lower frequencies while those lower frequencies retained a measure of reverb with recognisable tails to add atmosphere and flavour.

They do get hot after a while in hot conditions, but the pads do a pretty good job dissipating heat compared to leather pads. In games and cinema sound, audio material with pronounced program dynamics becomes a problem as sound effects, such as explosions, can not only hurt the protagonists in the game/movie.

This means that, on occasion, you might be forced to utilise a convertor to plug your headphones into the hi-fi unit of your choice: a DAC or amplifier or somesuch. Memory foam ensures that the HD 569 headset fits perfectly in both the ear pads and the headband, and the relatively high contact pressure allows it to sit securely, especially during outdoor use. Their tonal characteristics were full of detail but also life and dynamism while the bass, always shy and indistinct, was positively bold in this guise. The Sennheiser HD 569 will please music and home theater aficionados who want a clean, accurate sound signature in a design that will stay comfortable over long listening periods.

The matte black finish of the main plastic parts resists fingerprints nicely, and feel quite sturdy. In addition, the fact that this headphone is designed to work with smartphones might put it a notch above the other headphones in the 5 Series.
