The HD 595, is suited to demanding audiophiles and fans of SACD and DVD-Audio, with a wide and even frequency response covering an impressive 12-38,500 Hz.

The special diaphragm geometry keeps intermodulation distortion to an absolute minimum, and the use of a highly constant compressed cellulose fleece ensures that harmonic distortion is reduced to 0.1%.

Most importantly, the HD 595 combines listening pleasure with outstanding wearing comfort. The extraordinary adjustability helps them comfortably hug the head, assuring optimal acoustic positioning and the pads fit around the ear without actually touching it. The comfort-conscious design include breathable and moisture regulating ear pads, a one-sided cable and surprisingly light weight, to encourage extended listening. The striking new headband shape flows smoothly from the side of each ear cup.Ê

Sennheiser's patented "Eargonomic Acoustic Refinement" (E.A.R) system, slightly angles the acoustic baffle within each ear cup, to assure that sound projects precisely parallel to the ear. This improved acoustic coupling helps optimise the ergonomic participation of ears in the listening process. New diaphragm improvements (in both materials and manufacturing) deliver extended clean low bass and the optimised, field-strengthened neodymium iron magnets enhance efficiency and dynamics.

As an extra feature, the headphones come with a clever bracket that allows them to be fitted to the wall or a shelf.
