 Too treble to be a top one February 2, 2005
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This headphone is far from satisfactory, especially for me,
because I listen to violin a lot. The high is treble like needle, which is rather disturbing. Although the total balance is fairly good, the over-bright feature repels me a lot.
Seriously, I do NOT recommend HD570 for classical music lovers.
 Sound OK, but way too fragile January 29, 2005
These headphones are really comfortable, and sound OK, but the cord they come with is really awful. The 1/8" -> 1/4" adapter is flaky, and started giving me problems almost from the beginning. Also, the cord is really thin, so it tends to get wrapped up on everything. And the other day, the right side just stopped working. I can't recommend these headphones...

My new 570's just arrived, and even not burned in - but they are quite something.
- You will hear details and weaknesses in the material that you did not hear before.
- You will like the comfort!
- You will find the highs a bit exagerated. (for those loosing hearing in the high end, this would be a bonus)
- You will find that a weak amp will make them sound like a tweeter... no base or midrange at all!
- You will find that nothing else in the price range offers this detailed sound. They are selling these at such a low price I suspect they are clearing out old inventory from a warehouse.
Whether live or in the studio, you have to worry about pronounced "S" sounds, they can be harsh. Well, the 570's make some recordings sound like they didn't DeEss well enough.
Yep, the tonal balance is different, and the volume is lower July 16, 2004

I have two HD-545 headphones and have gotten quite addicted to their lovely, rich, and incredibly clear sound. They were getting a bit worn however, and I have already replaced the cords on both of them. So I decided to try this headphone, mainly because the Amazon.com review said that the HD-570 was supposed to replace the HD-545.Well, the HD-570 definitely has a different sound compared to the HD-545's. The Sennheiser website shows a frequency response chart for this headphone that describes it best, basically a dip in the midrange frequencies. And that's what I hear - the highs are quite sharp, the lows are definitely there, but the middle frequencies just seem to be dulled. And so the sound that comes out of these headphones lacks the rich fullness and ringing clarity of the HD-545's. With the highs and lows both registering fully, the sound can be both more shrill and booming at the same time, depending what's in the music that you are playing. "Muffled" isn't quite the right word, since the highs still come through, but yes, these headphones sound muffled. Anyway, if you listen to the HD-570 exclusively, you can get used to the sound, it's not as bad as some of the reviews would make it. It's only when I do a direct comparison with the HD-545's that I kind of regret getting these headphones. Definitely, I like the HD-545's sound better, but then, I've been listening to them exclusively for about ten years or so. (...). Finally, there is a difference in the volume of the HD-570. It's not horrible, but on one computer, I have to max out the volume just to get it loud enough.

First - the cons. Although the specifications state "open dynamic", they're more "open" than i anticipated.
You will have no privacy , and may upset commuters trying to catch 40 winks if you turn up the volume. Further , if you want loud ferocious headphones, look elsewhere. These have a mellow full-range, full-body sound, that can never be called "ferocious".
Pros - Excellent bass, mid-range and treble response...mid-range being the weakest. For those complaining of a weak bass, two points to think over -
1) Breaking them in makes them sound better over-all.
2) The 64 Ohm impedance means they are basically intended for receiver/amplifier/Hi-Fi use, and NOT for portable audio (small MP3/MD/Walkman players.)
The HD-570s sound fantastic when driven with sufficient power - HiFi systems, computer soundcards, etc. Repeat - not the best with portable audio, although that is what i use it for. I was sold on their comfort.
Despite the tag-line, these are not Over-Ear/Supra-Aural in design. They are in fact Around-The-Ear or Circum-Aural which is why I bought them. In theory and in practice, they do not touch any part of the ear, greatly contributing to the comfort quotient of the product.
