Had them for over a year and gotta say I'm super satisfied. Fantastic sound, comfy earpads, and still cheap compared to most audiophile-level stuff. Only complaint is my ears get hot after a while wearing them, although that's gonna happen with any closed-backs. If you don't want open-backs then these are absolutely the pair to buy.
@@jandersen6802 if you don’t want people to hear what you are listening to then I wouldn’t use open back head phones. I would get closed back head phones
Using my for 3 years on movies. So good these headphones. Rich, warm and wide soundstage. And very comfortable. Overall a great headphone that has a lot of good things going for it.
I'm happy I helped you in your decision making process. I know I go back and forth with making decisions on things all the time. Sometimes it just takes that one review to help make my decision. Enjoy them!!
Really underated headphones. I bought these headphones because I couldn't find any headphones that fit on my large tall head. When I got these I was so happy that they fitted perfectly on my head. The sound is alright but not the best. But when you don't have comfort in headphones, you don't have anything. It's a must have if you have a large head.
Good overview. Comfortable and lightweight headphones, good materials, microphone, removable cables, but the sound ... The bass is normal, not pretentious. Mids play at an average level. But high frequencies - they are not, they are completely absent. The headphones have pronounced vocals, but there are no high frequencies at all. I hope someone understands something, I used google translator))
I also had a Sennheiser for about 15 year of rough daily usage. Then I replaced them with a technics which only lasted a bit over a year before the first thing broke on them. Now they are completely broken. So I am going to get this one.
I had them 3 years ago, I go from them to Open backs and all these years searching for closed back to sound like HD 660S or Sundara but none of them did . I try some Beyers , Sony, Audiotechnica and Meze ... and none of them worked like i want . So I will buy again the HD 569 for the comfort , the light weight , the warm sound and now i know there is no closed back headphone that sounds like Open backs .
Yeah the fact that they are closed really changes the sound stage. I actually really enjoyed the AKG K550’s until the ear pads fell apart and flaked off all the paint. I cheated out and got some valour ear pads and it completely changed the sound stage and I hated them after. So my tip for those headphones is to only replace with the factory ear pads.
OMG, I am watching this video because my HD 570s that I bought in 1999 and have used almost everyday since have just broken. I was replacing the pads every few years and love the sound and feel of this. I think I am replacing them with the HD569 which hopefully will sound as good and last as long!!!
@@rgrant thanks for sharing. The hd569’s being closed back would not be as good as the hd570’s. I still thought they were good and don’t regret the decision.
@@poutineitup9510 No the 770s don't, I am buying them for desk use only in at work so they are permanently attached so there is no risk of the cable being yanked about. I did buy some 700 Pro's last year for home use, and while I love the sound they are no where near as comfortable as the 770s which are lighter.
You need to let these headphones warm up they really sound good after an hour of listening. These just do take at least 40 minutes of warm up, but after two hours of listening you will not want to take them off. I do set my own equipment curves.
Hi there! I need to use ,y Sennheiser HD 569 for skype calls on my laptop, but somehow I can't figire out how to make the mike work. I've tried everything, but im simply won't function. Please, tell me what to do.
Hi, I have a question, AudioTechnica ATH-M50X or Sennheiser HD 569? I have the AudioTechnica ATH-M50X and I love my headphones but I'm curious about this Sennheiser HD 569 and I would like to read about both headphones and if it worth the money to have both or if they are similar about sound quality.
@@ricardofournier4355 Not yet hahahahaha, but maybe I will. But I have to say that I love my AudioTechnica ATH-M50X, but I'm still curious about Sennheiser HD 569.
It's late but the Sennheisers all the way. The balance, the depth, the overall field of sound, and the comfort can't be best at this price at all. I have the newest Bose Bose cancelling cans and these are better at 20% of the price. Cheers
In all honesty probably not that almost anyone can tell. Headphones and the quality of the sound from the source will make the biggest difference. If you have a bad quality source you can't improve it no matter what. If you have bad headphones then that can really affect things. The interconnects really don't matter as much as Monster and other manufacturers want you to believe. I went to an audio show once where someone did a demo between pure silver speaker wire and the cheapest speaker wire you can find. I could just barely tell the difference in some of the high range. The price of the pure silver speaker cable was around $100/foot. You will probably be fine with anything with a reasonable length and the 3.5mm jack. If you start going 100' maybe you will see a difference but i really don't know. Most of my cables for my headphones are 10' or less and in those cases you won't hear a difference.
If you do not need closed-back definitely pick up the Sennheiser HD58X Jubilee by Drop. I have about 20 pairs of headphones and they are my daily driver hands down. They are $170, but you can usually find them for $150 as I did.
Nice review, especially for the long-term user experience :) I've found my pair of headphones Though I must ask as a newb, Are the headband cushions replaceable? What happens when they get dirty or ware out?
I know I'm very late but I recently replaced the earpads and headband pad and it's actually really simple to replace them! The earpads just pop out and pop back in. The headband padding is a little bit more difficult to remove but you just take it out, remove any extra adhesive (more like double sided tape) and stick the new one on. It only takes 1 to 2 minutes for the whole thing
Bought a pair of Sennheiser HD 400s and they stopped working 6 months in but I didn't give up on sennheiser yet just bought a pair of the Sennheiser HD 569 hopefully they last longer then 6 months for 150$
Thanks for the fantastic review. I hate bluetooth headphones because they tends to die too frequently. (Update: Because of your excellent review, i have ordered a piece today😁, Thanks)
@@skccharan I mean it is just one of those things I pay attention to and know that I’m dropping $400 on a Bluetooth pair of headphones and it is paying for noise canceling for 3-5 years.

Thanks for opinion. I do like these headphones a lot. Because they are closed back it is hard to do a fair comparison with the HD598s which I also love.
I really loved them but, but in maybe just over 1 year of irregular use the cushions have completely worn off, black velor crumbled really finely, like black dust. I've replaced the cushions with leather ones (not original), but it's not the same feeling and sound any more. Would love to get same ones for another location, but afraid the same will happen to the cushions really fast. Don't get how come this can last 10-20 years with same cushions.
Thanks for your thoughts. Idk if the cushions will last 20 years but the drivers, head band, and other parts may. The ones that lasted that long were a different pair but I do stand behind sennheiser. The hd598’s are super solid and sound terrific. At some point they made hd598’s that were closed backed but idk if you can still find them. I have the open backed version.
That seems odd. I've never experience that before. Seems like it is either coming from the source or maybe an intermittent connection to the headphone jack?
Hi, great interesting video, I wonder how they compare with hd560S or hd650/660 , great you have your hd570, I have hd575 but when I bought them my hifi was low impedance I/p and never used them for a long time only when I changed my hifi I started to use them . Very comfortable and has thick pad’s compared to sennheiser are producing now . Regards mark
I have this headphone and after burning in for 100 hours in a white noise the audio quality is phenomenal with wide soundstage like you are wearing an open back headset 🙂
@@poutineitup9510 there are so many negative reviews on the hd569, I got them now and have had hd599 its open back original this version is based on. Maybe people were expecting to have the same sound which is impossible being closed back. I do like them, even better than my m50x, and a bit less than my k371 or close. Also got the HD650 of which your hd6xx are a clone, and those are amazing for just music, the hd599 great with movies, and these hd569 i just got them today and very enjoyable for general use, they are not as comfortable as the hd599 which are like clouds, but still nice and look the best of all my headphones, will be using them at the Caffe for show 😁🎧
Check out the Focal Elegia. You will probably need to replace the wire as it is super stiff and doesn't relax over time but replacement cables are cheap.
Have these a few weeks, my thoughts: The negatives: - A very short cable with the standard plug. - The drivers need to have some power for some base. (like the output power of the current MacBooks) The positives: - One of the most comfortable ever owned. - No sound pressure on eardrums. - Clarity.
Thanks for your thoughts. I am always a fan of replaceable cables. Gives you the option to upgrade them or add extra length if needed. I haven't found the lack of base a problem but i also like a more balanced level of sound and dislike super basey headphones.
@@kenjihorvath3163 Indeed, the sound is very balanced although a bit low on the bass. But if your device have the output power (like the current MacBooks) you can tweak it to have some bass without destroying the balance.
Wish you would have addressed the comfort aspects of these headphones. All the sound quality aspects go out the window if you can't wear them for more then a few minutes due to discomfort. I'll be glad to sacrifice a little to get headphones that feel great and that can be worn as though they aren't even there.
Thanks for your comment. I wear these headphones all the time at work for long periods of time (hours) and they are ultra comfortable. I have a big head and I do not feel like my head is being squeezed at all.
I can confirm the 280 pro and 569 sound similar, but 569 are better for use with mobile devices such as smartphones, where the 280 pro are better for at home listen, I will say to my ears after a good burn-in period the 280 pro have slight better detail and wider sound stage but not by much, you might want to eq either pair in the bass & treble just a tad because they can sound a little flat at times
few years ago my sennheiser hd 457s finally died and they were sooo great and only were like $20 from the early 2000s. I don't know if they have anything like them anymore, everything is gaming this or way too expensive.
I view wired headphones as a long term purchase so I don’t mind spending the extra. I’m surprised they were only $20. I think I spent around $80 for my old pair.
I removed my ear pads and the right ear pad is different from the left and I'm having a terrible time trying to get these back on. I put the left cushion back on flawlessly and the right is a different design for some reason and I'm really regretting getting these now.
they are wors the audiotechnica M40x and BD they cost probably the same as AT but sound way below my expectarions , I got CX 3.00 and 569 sound like cheap headphones I am using on desktop pc and smartphone
Thanks for sharing your opinion. Did you break them in or are they brand new? I find headphones sound different when they are brand new but tend to sound better after they are broken in.
@@poutineitup9510 brand new and I never customize EQ levels only bass , years ago I used for very long Creative EP 630 , there are sound signatures I don't know what signature they had creatives , I also bought Sundiomagic 10 sounded not balanced probably would sound good in on hig quality files and things like fioo
Yeah it is annoying how Bluetooth essentially creates a market for replacing perfectly good headphones every few years. Look at the Apple Watch!! Instead of buying a single watch that lasts for 20 years you need to upgrade your watch every few years to keep getting updates and new features. I’m still rocking the same solar powered Citizen watch for 15 years and it still works great.
Very nice. Thanks for sharing. On the last Amazon Prime day the HD599’s were going for $80. I almost got another pair just for the heck of it but resisted.
@@poutineitup9510 yea i was looking for some decent sounding headphones for cheap and happened so see these going for 80 about a week ago and decided see if the sale will stay till i get paid lmao
These headphones sound so muffled... cymbals are extremely distorted too. My $60 dollar ghostek headphones sound crisp and clear, these sound worse than a pair of $20 dollar earbuds from 2010... No idea why the 569s get such good reviews, maybe I just got a defective one. This was a massive downgrade in quality for me. Gonna RMA this.
These headphones are honestly god awful. I bought these as my first "audiophile" headphones, side-grading from the Arctis Pros, because Steelseries products like to break themselves, but, they honestly sucked. Don't buy these for the love of god.
@@phantompizza I found these headphones were comparatively muddy and bass heavy. They were far from flat. I really didn't like the audio signature at all. It wasn't so much they were bad, but worse than what I was used to. They ARE better than something like beats, but, still not great. I would suggest getting something else if available. I made my previous comment out of anger and have since returned the product so take it with a grain of salt. But, regardless, Audio Technica is known for their open-back headphones, not their closed back.

How did you like them? And how is noise isolation? Do they keep background noise out?
Can anyone recommend these or any other closed back Sennheiser cans for sub bass that has 3.5 connector for my soundcard?
Good overview. Comfortable and lightweight headphones, good materials, microphone, removable cables, but the sound ... The bass is normal, not pretentious. Mids play at an average level. But high frequencies - they are not, they are completely absent.
The headphones have pronounced vocals, but there are no high frequencies at all.

Also got the HD650 of which your hd6xx are a clone, and those are amazing for just music, the hd599 great with movies, and these hd569 i just got them today and very enjoyable for general use, they are not as comfortable as the hd599 which are like clouds, but still nice and look the best of all my headphones, will be using them at the Caffe for show 😁🎧
Do you have any issues with your ears warming up after extended use?
Good question. I wear these at work for extended periods on time without a problem.
@@poutineitup9510
I bought them and I have no regrets. Thanks for your review.
@@olebogengthothela1191 you are welcome. I’m glad you are enjoying them :)
hi brother im looking to upgrade to a closed back headphone besides the 569 sennheiser do you recommend others that are light weight wired.
Check out the Focal Elegia. You will probably need to replace the wire as it is super stiff and doesn't relax over time but replacement cables are cheap.
I upgraded mine by adding the ifi go bar (£239) and a balanced 4.4mm TRRS cable from Oidio they sound amazing.
@@MiaMidol Awesome i'm glad you're enjoying it. I don't use mine with a DAC/AMP. I'm sure that would improve the sound.
Have these a few weeks, my thoughts:
The negatives:
- A very short cable with the standard plug.
- The drivers need to have some power for some base. (like the output power of the current MacBooks)
The positives:
- One of the most comfortable ever owned.
- No sound pressure on eardrums.
- Clarity.
Thanks for your thoughts. I am always a fan of replaceable cables. Gives you the option to upgrade them or add extra length if needed. I haven't found the lack of base a problem but i also like a more balanced level of sound and dislike super basey headphones.
@@kenjihorvath3163
Indeed, the sound is very balanced although a bit low on the bass. But if your device have the output power (like the current MacBooks) you can tweak it to have some bass without destroying the balance.
@@wesleyfrankenofficial That's good to know. Thanks
Can this use for studii monitoring?
Good question. The hd6xx’s may be a better option for studio monitoring but it depends how much accuracy you are looking for
Wish you would have addressed the comfort aspects of these headphones. All the sound quality aspects go out the window if you can't wear them for more then a few minutes due to discomfort. I'll be glad to sacrifice a little to get headphones that feel great and that can be worn as though they aren't even there.
Thanks for your comment. I wear these headphones all the time at work for long periods of time (hours) and they are ultra comfortable. I have a big head and I do not feel like my head is being squeezed at all.
They are the comfiest headphones I’ve ever worn
Anybody else think "Oh shit" when he mentioned buying those headphones 20 years ago because you were thinking 1980's, not 2000's
Maybe I should have said the current date when I made that statement :)
Which one is better Sennheiser HD 569 or HD 280 PRO?
I haven’t tried the 280 pros but I can tell you the 569’s are terrific. I definitely do not regret purchasing them. I use them every day.
I can confirm the 280 pro and 569 sound similar, but 569 are better for use with mobile devices such as smartphones, where the 280 pro are better for at home listen, I will say to my ears after a good burn-in period the 280 pro have slight better detail and wider sound stage but not by much, you might want to eq either pair in the bass & treble just a tad because they can sound a little flat at times
few years ago my sennheiser hd 457s finally died and they were sooo great and only were like $20 from the early 2000s.
I don't know if they have anything like them anymore, everything is gaming this or way too expensive.
I view wired headphones as a long term purchase so I don’t mind spending the extra. I’m surprised they were only $20. I think I spent around $80 for my old pair.
@poutineitup9510 niiice, yeah i bought mine from London Drugs small tech department lol.
@@SuperKnuckels I don't even recall where I got my first pair of sennheisers. It was some audio fidelity store that probably no longer exists.
This or momentum3 audio Quality?
Good question. I have not tried the momentum3's so I cannot tell you how they compare. If you try them both i would love to hear your opinion
Does it come with a coiled cord?
Mine did not
@@poutineitup9510 i'm looking at this for dj-ing, which is the reason i'm asking. Thx for the reply and the review.
I have the
Sennheiser hd 569 vs beyerdynamic 770? Which is best for big ears and comfort? I read sennheiser are bigger
Never tried the beyerdynamics. If I recall they don’t have a detachable cable though. For me that is a deal breaker
@@poutineitup9510 true! They don't have it but sennheiser has indeed
Returned the 770’s and went with the 569’s, purely for comfort. Clamping force is much lighter on sennheiser’s and cups are bigger.
@@keesdehaas7575 true that. Going to buy them. Do they isolate good against sounds? Going to use them to not hear my roommates
@@keesdehaas7575 good to know. Thanks for the info!!
don't know if you know this, but your mic picks up your voice very directionally, meaning you sound way louder on the right in this vid.
Cool thanks for the feedback
I removed my ear pads and the right ear pad is different from the left and I'm having a terrible time trying to get these back on. I put the left cushion back on flawlessly and the right is a different design for some reason and I'm really regretting getting these now.
Sorry to hear. I have never removed the pads so I can’t provide instructions
would be great if at least one reviewer put the headphones on his head to see how they sit on his head for what they are intended for.
they are wors the audiotechnica M40x and BD they cost probably the same as AT but sound way below my expectarions , I got CX 3.00 and 569 sound like cheap headphones I am using on desktop pc and smartphone
Thanks for sharing your opinion. Did you break them in or are they brand new? I find headphones sound different when they are brand new but tend to sound better after they are broken in.
@@poutineitup9510 brand new and I never customize EQ levels only bass , years ago I used for very long Creative EP 630 , there are sound signatures I don't know what signature they had creatives , I also bought Sundiomagic 10 sounded not balanced probably would sound good in on hig quality files and things like fioo
@@WildBeret thank you for sharing your thoughts
Omg I got a pair of hd570s I need replacement pads tho hahaha
Still great headphones, right?
@@poutineitup9510 yesssss i used them for many years till i got my meze 99 classics
Finally gave up on Bluetooth.
Yeah it is annoying how Bluetooth essentially creates a market for replacing perfectly good headphones every few years. Look at the Apple Watch!! Instead of buying a single watch that lasts for 20 years you need to upgrade your watch every few years to keep getting updates and new features. I’m still rocking the same solar powered Citizen watch for 15 years and it still works great.
is that a green screen? if not that is one bright light haha.
Nope not a green screen. I spent some time trying to get the background of studio looking interesting but too distracting :) idk if I succeeded or not
@@poutineitup9510 yeah I would say you succeeded, it’s like nothing I ever seen. It’s pretty cool looking.
@@pipeqez911 thanks so much!!
Currently at the time of this comment on amazonUS they are 48% off
Very nice. Thanks for sharing. On the last Amazon Prime day the HD599’s were going for $80. I almost got another pair just for the heck of it but resisted.
@@poutineitup9510 yea i was looking for some decent sounding headphones for cheap and happened so see these going for 80 about a week ago and decided see if the sale will stay till i get paid lmao
@@ethanshenk2058 crossing my fingers for you
Better 569 or 560s?
I have no tried the 560’s. Sorry I can’t tell you which is better
Just decide if you'd like open Vs closed
These headphones sound so muffled... cymbals are extremely distorted too. My $60 dollar ghostek headphones sound crisp and clear, these sound worse than a pair of $20 dollar earbuds from 2010... No idea why the 569s get such good reviews, maybe I just got a defective one.
This was a massive downgrade in quality for me. Gonna RMA this.
Thanks for your opinion. Maybe try breaking them in and see how they sound after that.
These headphones are honestly god awful. I bought these as my first "audiophile" headphones, side-grading from the Arctis Pros, because Steelseries products like to break themselves, but, they honestly sucked. Don't buy these for the love of god.
waht specifically was the issue with it?
@@phantompizza I found these headphones were comparatively muddy and bass heavy. They were far from flat. I really didn't like the audio signature at all.
It wasn't so much they were bad, but worse than what I was used to. They ARE better than something like beats, but, still not great. I would suggest getting something else if available. I made my previous comment out of anger and have since returned the product so take it with a grain of salt.
But, regardless, Audio Technica is known for their open-back headphones, not their closed back.
23 ohm is bad . bad headphones never buy
Depends on your use case but thanks for your opinion.
