Here’s a full breakdown of the Sennheiser HD 569 wired headphones — a unique offering in the HD 5 series for fans of closed-back, wired listening:

🎧 Overview & Specs

  • Design: Closed-back, around-ear structure optimized for home or mobile use. Includes two detachable cables: a 1.2 m cable with inline mic & remote (3.5 mm plug) and a 3 m cable with 6.3 mm plug for hi-fi use 

  • Drivers: 38 mm dynamic transducers, 23 Ω impedance, frequency range 10 Hz–28 kHz, SPL ~115 dB, THD < 0.2% 

  • Weight: Roughly 755 g (≈1.6 lbs) 

  • In Box: HD 569 headset + two detachable cables (with and without mic) 

🔊 Sound Quality & Performance

  • Balanced & Clear: Provides a clean, detailed sound signature. Midrange and treble are clear and precise, mids slightly recessed but smooth 

  • Bass Response: Controlled and punchy but not overwhelming—lacks deep sub-bass (<40 Hz), may not satisfy bass-heavy genre fans 

  • Isolation & Immersion: Effective passive noise isolation due to snug ear fit, making for immersive listening at home or while commuting 

🗣️ Community Feedback

  • Positive notes: Impressive comfort, value, and all-around performance over time. Many users report great soundstage for closed-back headphones, and easy EQ profiles like Oratory greatly enhance sound 

  • Critical points: Some found the sound “bloated” or muffled, especially compared to open-back models like HD 598 or HD 650. Others reported weak bass or too recessed mids/treble

  • Build concerns: Earpads may peel/flake after a few years of regular use, common in humid climates—though replacements are easily sourced 

  • Comfort & heat: Velour pads reduce sweating compared to pleather, and most users found them comfortable—even during extended sessions
