News: Sennheiser releases HD headphones

Sennheiser has released the new HD range of headphones, five new models optimized for MP3 players and other portable equipment, but also suitable for home hi-fi use.

Each set has its own, individual eye catching design.

“Many headphones are either optimised for use with portable players or are designed to be used with home hi-fi systems,” says Maurice Quarre, product Manager Headphones at Sennheiser. “But many music lovers want headphones that can do both, and ones that can always be relied on to offer superb sound, no matter which audio source they are connected to.

The top of the range HD 448 offers a balanced stereo image with precise detail, while the HD 438 has similar sound characteristics. The HD 428, HD 418 and HD 408 models are focussed more on the lower frequencies and offer a powerful bass response.

Local prices are $119.95 (HD418), $159.95 (HD428), $179.95 (HD438) and $199.95 (HD448).
