Frequency response
The frequency response characterises the range of frequencies which a pair of head-
phones can reproduce. It is measured in hertz (Hz). The average human ear is capable
of hearing frequencies ranging from about 20 Hz to 16,000 Hz. The frequency
response alone does not reveal much about the reproduction quality.
Impedance
Impedance is the headphones’ resistance to alternating current and is measured in
ohms (Ω). The impedances of Sennheiser headphones range from 16 to 600 ohms
which means they can be connected to all standard hi-fi components.
Signal-to-noise ratio
Difference between the wanted signal and the background noise of an electrically
operated device (e.g. amplifier, microphone). Signal-to-noise ratio is measured in dB.

Description of models
HD... Dynamic headphones (Headphones, Dynamic)
Sennheiser’s HD range of headphones are fitted with electrodynamic
transducers. They are normally equipped with a 3.5 mm stereo jack plug
and a 1/4” (6.3 mm) adaptor and can therefore be connected to all
standard headphone outputs (amplifiers, CD players, DAT, DCC, MD,
TV, personal stereos, camcorders etc.).
HD 590 Prestige
Sennheiser’s range includes both open and closed headphones. Closed
models provide better attenuation of surrounding noise, while open
headphones give a more spacious sound.
Connection cables
All dynamic headphones (with the exception of the HD 25 and HD 25 SP) are
supplied with oxygen-free copper cables.
