Verdict

The Sennheiser HD 559 is an open-back, around-ear headphone featuring 38mm dynamic drivers and Sennheiser’s Ergonomic Acoustic Refinement (E.A.R.) technology to channel audio directly into the ears. It operates with a 50-ohm impedance, a frequency response of 14 Hz to 26,000 Hz, and a sound pressure level of 108 dB, making it relatively easy to drive from home stereo systems. Main pros include its lightweight 240g build, high wearing comfort provided by plush velour ear cushions and a padded headband, and a warm sound signature with deep, resounding bass. However, notable cons include a bulky 3-metre cable terminated in a 6.3mm jack without a 3.5mm adapter, recessed upper mids, and a bass response that some listeners find overly bloated or muddy at higher volumes.
