Verdict

The Sennheiser HD1 Edition Pink Floyd is a premium over-ear wireless headphone commemorating the “Their Mortal Remains” exhibition, featuring distinctive rainbow headband stitching and engraved ear-cup prisms. Technically, it offers a broad frequency response of 16Hz–22,000Hz, Bluetooth 4.0 with aptX for high-resolution audio, and a low passive impedance of 28 ohms. Its main characteristics include NoiseGard hybrid active noise cancellation, VoiceMax dual-microphone technology for clear calls, and a foldable stainless steel frame with real leather ear pads. Pros include an expansive, airy soundstage, detailed mid-range, and a durable 22-hour battery life. However, notable cons include the inability to disable noise cancellation while in Bluetooth mode, a higher price point than the standard HD1, and noise cancellation that is less effective against high-frequency sounds compared to leading competitors.

What customers dislike about Sennheiser HD 1 Edition Pink Floyd?

  • Significantly higher price tag compared to the standard HD1 or Momentum 2.0 models for purely cosmetic differences
  • Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) cannot be turned off while using Bluetooth mode
  • ANC performance is considered less effective than major competitors like Bose or Sony
