  • The folks over at Sennheiser gave us a pretty in depth tour of their manufacturing facility in Germany. I have to say, this was an extremely cool experience...

    These kind of videos are literally the best advertisement a company can have to the consumer who is interested in more than just how a product looks. I will definitely look into sennheizer when buying my next pair of headphones.The tour could have been better and more informative but it was still an enjoyable video.

      Spektrik Me too! I forgot the first ones that I had though, I think it was the HD 2XX (not sure of the number hence the XX part). The second one was the HD558 and the one I'm currently using is the PC 363D. Plan on keeping these for a long time.

    • @MrRayne911
      @MrRayne911 9 лет назад +1

      I guess I kinda wish they showed more of the manufacturing process of their other headphones. The HD800 sound impressive, but I am not going to spend over a 1000$ for a pair of headphones especially when my ath-m50 are amazing for me for 130$. So now that I think of it this was kind of a pointless video for me in terms of seeing the manufacturing process of items I am going to buy.

      what is the main purpose of using earphones or headphones, I think that is, we don't want to be disturbed by anyone and want to hear the real sound and feel emotion from the sound. KSE1500? It's much expensive for the boosting amplifier. Sennheiser ? It can be, maybe. But I recommend this device, that is " ruclips.net/video/AxylX0pbfMc/видео.html " It can be the final solution for the Hi-Resolution .

      I’d say that is a narrow view. They want to stay relevant and also make money. It can’t be only about top of the range units which many simply can’t afford or don’t want to spend that much but want something much better than the fashion headphones we see everyday. I have the Momentum unit and find them very pleasing. They were more expensive than any of my previous units and I feel they are a step up.

      I guess with most people using headphones in vastly different setting (mp3 source, cell phone as a player) than in the 70s, 80s and 90s, there is not much need for audiophile headphones anymore; that being said, sennheiser has among other, also produced shitty products for decades addressing price-concious people. In fact I knew a guy who used to work at their german factory (I dont recall if they were making the headphones or if they were just receiving and distributing there) and he told me when the packaging was damaged they would throw the whole box, including the headphones away, rather than going through the hoops of somehow repackaging or offering it at a reduced price as B-stock. And that's about 10-15 years ago. It's not like they woke up a year ago and noticed they need to make cheap shit that isnt worth repackaging, they have done that for a long time.

    I love how they found a polite way of saying that the Urbanite and Momentum were made for the tone-deaf Beats-wearing public.
    I'm just kidding. I understood that Sennheiser cannot afford to have their brand forgotten by the new generation and that those base-heavy headphones were a way to promote the brand to non-audiophiles.

    • @JDS_im
      @JDS_im 4 года назад +12

      I've owned an Urbanite XL back when it was relatively new, and I can say it wasn't that bass-heavy at all. It had just the right amount of bass to make it great for electronic music, but the authentic Sennheiser sound was still there. It taught me that bass amount isn't what makes music sound good, but rather a good balance in the frequency response. I was convinced of their brand thanks to the Urbanite XL, and now I've owned an HD 660 S for over half a year already, which I can comfortably call my personal endgame in headphones for home listening. So overall, I'd happily say that Sennheiser has succeeded in trying to accomplish what they set out to do. They showed me what authentic/pure sound is about, and why so much in todays headphones market does not qualify as authentic/pure.
      Btw, I understand you were just joking, but thought I'd share this anyways since I'd say I'm living proof that they've been succesful in what they set out to do with the Urbanite and Momentum lines. Not argueing, just confirming :)

    • @kennztube
      @kennztube 4 года назад +2

      I’ve used the Momentum headphones for six months and I’m very pleased. They have what I’d say is a balanced sound with an edge toward bass, which I was looking for. I’ve owed sennheisers several times before and always found them of a high quality in build and sound delivery.

Even though it's not as detailed as the 800S or even the HE-1, it offers just enough of everything to make me feel like I'm not missing anything. With a proper DAC/Amp and some EQ, you can truly do anything you want with them. And they're so damn comfortable..

      This may sound weird, but I was used to crappy over-ear headsets for like 20-30 bucks. The first time I had Sennheiser headphones on and pressed play, I immediately scrambled to hit the stop button thinking I had forgotten to turn my speakers off at the amp. The soundstage was so completely different to the crappy headsets it fooled my brain and completely wowed me. The kicker? Those Sennheisers were the shittiest, cheapest ones you could buy, HD 201 ... needless to say I upgraded quite a few steps since then, but I'll never forget that moment.
