INTRODUCTION

    As far as I'm concerned, the audio market is divided in 3 different people categories, those who care about vocals, those who care about lows (bass) and those who want to listen to music as it was recorded at the studio (neutral/reference). So basically, depending on the music genre and your personal tuning preference you should pick the right pair of headphones and well, just like with everything else in the electronics market that might be easier said than done. Last June Sennheiser released the HD 620S closed-back headphones and finally I was able to get my hands on them a while back.

    We live and breathe audio. We are driven by the passion to create audio solutions that make a difference. Building the future of audio and bringing remarkable sound experiences to our customers – this is what the Sennheiser brand has represented for more than 75 years. While professional audio solutions such as microphones, meeting solutions, streaming technologies and monitoring systems are part of the business of Sennheiser electronic GmbH & Co. KG, the business with consumer devices such as headphones, soundbars and speech-enhanced hearables became part of the Sonova Holding AG group of companies in 2022, who have licensed the Sennheiser trademark for this purpose.

    The HD 620S are closed-back headphones which according to Sennheiser can replicate the spatial imaging of loudspeakers while keeping listening sessions secluded. This is achieved thanks to its reference-grade 42mm angled dynamic transducers (38mm diaphragm) which produce a frequency response of 6Hz-30kHz, 150Ohm impedance, 105dB sound pressure level, <0.05% (1 kHz / 90 dB SPL) Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and 6.25mT magnetic field strength. Even though I haven't had much experience with Sennheiser headphones (only gaming ones) the company claims that the HD 620S take the best aspects from both the 500 and 600 series, so my expectations are set quite high from the get-go.
