The family tree
At the heart of the HD 620S is a custom-tuned 42 mm dynamic transducer made at the brand's state-of-the-art Tullamore, Ireland transducer plant. It carries forward the smooth and effortless sound found in the open-back 600 family with a modern, airy signature that balances honesty with deep and articulate bass. Thanks to a high damping factor, the 150-ohm aluminium voice coil excels at speedy transients and well-defined instrument tails for punchy dynamics across the entire frequency spectrum—a boon for audiophiles and passionate gamers trying to consume as much detail as possible in a given moment.
Case closed
Open headphones are an audio purists' favorite, however closed headphones are invaluable for listening when isolation from the world around the listener is essential. Audiophiles are accustomed to trading the natural response and wide imaging of open headphones in order to keep distractions at bay, or from disturbing roommates, spouses and coworkers. No doubt, the HD 620S is a breakthrough in real-world performance, offering the dramatic soundstage they want absent the fatiguing, boxy sound associated with sealed cans.
You have new connections
The HD 620S was built to last with a metal-reinforced headband and earcup housings. An included storage pouch keeps dust at bay with ample space for the detachable cable too, for tidy keeping. The 1.8 meter / 6 foot cable terminates to a single-ended 3.5 mm stereo plug with an integrated locking screw for the included 6.3 mm adapter. Available this summer, an optional balanced 4.4 mm cable will let audiophiles tap into a growing range of hi-fi devices supporting the popular connector. The HD 620S shares the twist-and-lock single-sided cable design with other Sennheiser headphones, giving the user plenty of aftermarket options including different lengths and an in-line microphone.
