This is a very nice headphone. Comfort is good and the sound quality is good and balanced.
I compared the Sennheiser HD569 with the Beyerdynamic DT770 pro and the Sennheiser won because it has the oval shaped earcups. The earcups are big and oval so they don't touch my ears anywhere which the DT770 do.
The material of the cushions is nice and soft. There is memoryfoam in the cushions which feels good on the skull. The clamping force is high enough that it doesn't fall of my head with movement. After hours of wearing them it doesn't irritate.
Both the DT770 pro and the DH569 are closed back headphones whose sound quality aren't much different. The emphasis is a bit on the low frequencies, like the DT770 pro. The sound of the HD569 is balanced. I like a sound on the laid back side of things and don't like irritating, harsh highs. The HD569 fits that category nicely.
The HD569 had a slightly better isolation than the DT770 pro but don't expect miracles. The isolation on both is not quite as good as a Sennheiser HD280 pro.
There are two cables in the package. A long 3m cable with a big fixed 6,35mm jack and a 1,2m one with a small 3,5mm connector. I want a 3m cable with a small jack. The original 3m cable can be fitted with an adapter but this will make the whole connector very large and clumsy on a macbook. So I ordered a 3m cable with small 3.5mm jack on ebay.
The impedance is only 32Ohm. Good for mobile use but a little low at home on a Musical Fidelity x-cans. It does work but the volumeknob needs to be in the low regions.
