Sennheiser HD58X Open Back Professional Jubilee Headphones – Black

In 1991, Axel Grell joined Sennheiser and designed the HD 580 Precision: the headset that would launch a much-loved series—and the peak of the company's audiophile headphones for more than 25 years. Four years later, to mark its 50th anniversary, Sennheiser released the HD 580 Jubilee, which would later become the HD 600 and lead to the HD 650. In the spirit of the HD 580, with current technology and optimizations learned throughout the series' rich history, we're excited to release the newest evolution: the Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 58X Jubilee. Tuned by Axel Grell and Massdrop based on feedback from the audiophile community, it features new 150-ohm drivers and a colorway inspired by the HD 580 Precision that started it all. Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 58X Jubilee Headphones The HD 58X Jubilee uses Sennheiser's new 150-ohm drivers, which requires less amplification than previous driver platforms while retaining the same magnet strength and driver size. This makes the new headset easier to drive from sources like your mobile phone or digital audio player. The sound is clear, fast, dynamic, and lively: reminiscent in some ways of the HD 600 and in others of the HD 650. It places an emphasis on clean, extended bass, with a solid transient response and a smooth but clear upper midrange. Plus, with Sennheiser's ongoing testing of all units in the series, you can be assured that the drivers hit the target frequency response and match in both left and right channels.
