Sennheiser HD 569 Review
Sennheiser is at its best when it isn't responding to trends and instead focuses on what made it an iconic headphone brand in the first place. Look no further than the $179.99 HD 569 for a perfect example of this. Current fashionable choices like booming lows and luxurious-looking materials that look like they came from the inside of a Ferrari are absent here.
