Sennheiser HD58X Open Back Professional Jubilee Headphones - Black

Product Information

Loved the Jubilees but the clamp force was too much. The new plastic frames break in to be much gentler. The headband adjuster is sturdy and long, so there shouldn’t be issues with fit for these headphones​ Bob (my cousin) even included a 2.5mm balanced cable into the mix which pairs very well with the FiiO K3 that I have here at the crib. However, the mids are a bit glaring and not as deep relaxed as on the HD6XX. In return, the HD58X sounds more lively and direct in its response, but I would attest the HD6XX a slightly better resolution, even if it doesn't have the clarity of the HD58X in comparison.

The HD6XX will appeal more for those who love its more warm and rich tone. The HD6XX was not my cup of tea as I like a little more treble, but some people obviously love those. Sennheiser has done a splendid job in the mids' department! After listening to these headphones did I realize my old HD 598SE actually had the classic veil that Sennheiser was known and sometimes despised for. These headphones have much more full-bodied mids than the HD 598SE and even though these have more forward mids than the HD 598SE, they never felt shouty and too much “in your face”. The fit is still north of snug (read: it can feel like a vice grip at first), but does open up over time. This review is not intended to be a shootout between the HD6XX and the HD58X. Both have their right to exist. point. Nevertheless the comparison is obvious. The HD58X radiates more energy and also has the slightly better extension in the low frequency range. Due to the clearer focus on the upper mids due to the somewhat restrained lower treble range compared to the HD6XX, the absolute balance gets a bit lost, but still, the HD58X strives for a neutral sound with a slight warmth. The catch is that these same flaws actually work in the headphones’ favor (for the most part). In other words,The 1.8m/6ft cable supplied with the HD 58X Jubilee headphones is detachable and made with ... [+] oxygen-free copper. The cable can be swapped out for a 2.5mm balanced version. Drop For whatever reason, I found the image here significantly wider than that of an HD600, especially in playing Fallout 4. On the headband there is a foam padding, which prevents pressure pain as far as possible and allows wearing the headphones for a long time.

the sound signature may be more appealing and accessible to the average person who knows absolutely nothing about the audiophile hobby and prefers more bass out of their experience.

The HD 58X (serial number 000262) is one of the rare headphones i enjoy listening to without EQ (DAP) or minimal EQ. (inline passive eq filter solderdude) Not sure about youtube (probably not youtube) or just here, but is it any worth to measure attenuators to see if they are transparent? Only when efficiency numbers are given in dB/mW but when sensitivity is listed in dB/V it does not matter. the 58X is incredibly easy to get pumping, so I wouldn’t worry about it much. Good pairings include the iFi Zen, FiiO K5 Pro, FiiO BTR3K, E10K/ K3, DragonFly Red, etc.
