Sennheiser HD 620s headphones, with a price currently at RS. 32,990, launched in India on August 12 and it is claimed that they offer an immersive and high fidelity sound in a closed format. They carry dynamic 42 mm transducers adjusted with a 38 mm diaphragm and a removable cable of 1.8 m with a 3.5 mm plug. Cable headphones are equipped with head band sliders reinforced with stainless steel and padded headphones with thick cushions. It is said that they provide users with a spacious sound scenario within a closed setback design. How do you go to these headphones in terms of functionality and performance? We will discuss this in the following review.
Sennheiser HD 620S Design: Fit Snug
- Size – 18 x 19.5 x 4.6cm
- Weight – 670g
- Color – Black
Although it is not novel for a closed setback headset, the design of Sennheiser HD 620S comes with some deliberate elements that make them ergonomically adjusted. A closed headset is designed to capture the sound inside his head while rejecting much of the sound outside. Because there are no reflexes inside the headphones, the open backs emit a more natural tone. However, the advantage of a closed headset is substantially better noise insulation, which we will discuss later.
The headphones come with head band sliding controls reinforced with metal
The design of the Sennheiser HD 620s, especially the shape of the headphones, reminds the Sennheiser HD 500 headphones of headphones on ears. The head band controls reinforced with stainless steel and adjustable headphones padded with thick cushions help them adjust better. The filling is full of artificial leather both in the fists and in the upper band. One would expect that there are heating problems around this filling, which leads to discomfort. However, I did not face any problem during the review period.
On the contrary, the comfortable adjustment of the Sennheiser HD 620S headphones allowed me to use them for several hours at the same time without fatigue. Large headphones also ensure that there is no undue pressure in the ear. Due to their oval shape, headphones can easily accommodate around the ears. The fall in the cushion of the head band also helps relieve most of the pressure created by these headphones with the ear.
The sliding control and headphones of the Sennheiser HD 620S headphones can be taken, push and move to adjust according to the needs of the users. If you use glasses regularly, the adjustment could be a problem. It will depend largely on the frame and/or shape of its shows. With me, the trick was to put the glasses first and then adjust the headphones.
The cushion padded in each headset is deep, helping with the general ergonomic appearance
Sennheiser HD 620S Specifications: Simple
- Driver – 42 mm dynamic transducers with 38 mm diaphragm
- Impedance – 150 ohms
- Frequency response range: 6Hz at 30,000Hz
The last launch of Sennheiser in the estimated HD 600 series shows advanced engineering with its personalized 42 mm dynamic transducers and the 38 mm diaphragm precisely. These headphones on the ear are designed to offer a wide and detailed frequency response that covers 6Hz to 30,000Hz, stating guarantee a rich and immersive auditory experience.
With a solid pressure level of 110DB and a nominal impedance of 150 ohms, they offer a powerful and clear audio performance. The Sennheiser HD 620S have a closed setback design that helps to isolate the sound and to reduce external noise, while the inclusion of a 150 -ohm aluminum voice coil refines even more refine quality, which makes them ideal For professional and audiophile use. This reflexive combination of components aims to offer an exceptional sound fidelity and a high level of acoustic precision.
Sennheiser HD 620S Performance: Sound
- Cable length – 1.8m
- Cable type – 3.5 mm plug; 3.5 mm to 6.3 mm adapter
Going to the phone’s performance, the general sound experience of Sennheiser HD 620s is ‘Sound’ (good), but the presentation of Graves seems to be more heat to emphasize the weight or impact of the note. Paste a little more suddenly than the bass of an open headset. But this would not adapt to the needs of someone looking for heavy headphones.
The cushion of the head band has a dip in the middle that helps reduce pressure on the user’s head
The Sennheiser HD 620S stands out for providing a nuanced and attractive average range performance, so it is an excellent option for audiophiles that value clarity and wealth in this key frequency region. The headphones provide a very balanced and precise average range that gives life to vocalists and instrumental with remarkable clarity.
Custom transducers and diaphragm of HD 620 work together to reproduce average range frequencies with remarkable accuracy, ensuring that the voices are clear and the instruments have realistic timbre. This clarity allows a more immersive auditory experience by highlighting successful subtleties and textures in music. Whether he is listening to the warm voice of a singer or the intricate layers of a string quartet, HD 620 offers a convincing and attractive performance. We see examples of this clarity on tracks like Wilderness by Explosiones in the Sky, waiting impotent from Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, or I love you (she is so heavy) by the Beatles.
However, the performance of Sennheiser HD 620s is disappointing. In most cases, the highest ranges appear somewhat cushioned and airy. In a song as you have to have the freedom of Pharoah Sanders, very loaded with piano and flongorn tracks, this lack of details about higher releases becomes remarkably evident.
Headphones do not have microphone support
In addition, in terms of noise insulation, the physical recoil model closed reduces disturbances rather than open backing models. However, isolation is not significant. If it is in a quiet place, it can be saved from the occasional steering wheel here and there. But do not expect to be able to concentrate without distractions if you are sitting in the same room as television or someone who speaks.
Sennheiser HD 620: Verdict
The Sennheiser HD 620 are a good option for audiophiles, especially those who wish to use them to edit or other professional efforts. For cable headphones with passive noise isolation, the price of RS 32,990 can be a bit too much for casual listeners. Compared to open models of the series, these headphones offer more noise cancellation, but sound is not as open as they are. The sound experience, in that aspect, is limited by the design of the headphones itself. Keep in mind that headphones do not support microphones. You may have to use an external microphone for calls and other purposes.
There are not many other contenders in this specific category of audio products. However, you can consult the Sony Wh-1000xm5 (review), which are headphones compatible with wireless active noise cancellation (ANC) with tactile control features, with a price in India in RS. 34,990.
