IFA 2016: Sennheiser unveils new lineup of HD 2, HD 4 and HD 500 series headphones


Sennheiser has always showed off a fair amount of stuff at IFA. Well why wouldn't they, the show is kind of, in the audio company's backyard (well, only a three hour drive away). The company has almost always unveiled new products at the IFA stage and it’s sticking with tradition in 2016. New Sennheiser headphones have been announced, completely replacing the bulk of their lineup.

HD 4 series


The HD 4 series from Sennheiser are large, closed-backed headphones with “contemporary style.”

The new sets in this range are the HD 4.20s, HD 4.30i and HD 4.30G. Sennheiser claims that these are ideal for mobile devices and that they are light and strong.

All three headsets feature a closed-back design, in-line mic and are foldable. These headsets come in black and white and will be bundled with storage pouches. The 4.30i and G models will come with a 3-button remote for music control on iOS and Android devices respectively.

HD 2 series

The HD 2 series headphones replace the very popular PX 100, PX 200 and HD 200 series from Sennheiser. These are also meant to be convenient and portable and are thus, light and foldable, according to Sennheiser.

These headphones also use a closed design. The HD 2.30i and G models come with a pouch and in-line remote and microphone. The 2.20S model comes with a one-button in-line remote and mic.

HD 500 series

New entrants in the HD 500, premium series include the HD 559, HD 569, HD 579 and HD 599. All of these, except the HD 569, are open-back designs.

Sennheiser claims to have optimised the headset for comfortable listening at home and take advantage of Sennheiser's E.A.R. (Ergonomic Accoustic Refinement) technology.

The HD 569 includes an optional cable with in-line mic and remote for mobile devices.

All the new headphones start shipping this month. Pricing is still unknown at this time.
