Hello audiophile enthusiasts,
Today we have two special rare limited edition headphones.
Introducing:
Sennheiser HD1000 Charleston
Manufacture: 1993/4/5 (as early 1992?)
Model: Charleston HD1000
Frequency: 18 Hz - 25 Khz
Sensitivity: 94 dB
Impedance: 140 Ohm
Frame: Open Back, 24k gold
Drivers: HD435 Drivers
Cable: OFC Cable
Magnet: Neodymium
Weight: 210g
Units:1000
This headphone was made for Sennheiser 50th anniversary.
The gold on it is 24K gold plated/bar/hinges.
Introducing : Sennheiser HD1000 Charleston
Sennheiser HD1000 Charleston Sound: Sound like a Sennheiser headphone. Same drivers as HD435. Sound is not as good as the 500 series and above. Sennheiser did not focus too much on the sound than looks and being a limited edition collector item. Needed a amp to sound good overall.
Sennheiser HD1000 Charleston Build: Great, Real 24K Gold, Light, and bendy. Funky, Punk, unique.
And Next Sennheiser HD580 Jubilee Edition
Introducing:
Sennheiser HD580 Jubilee Edition
Manufacture: 1995 Sennheiser 50th anniversary
Frame: Open Back, Thermoplastic Carbon fiber body
Drivers: HD600 Drivers
Frequency: 16 Hz - 30 Khz
Sensitivity: 97 dB
Magnet: Neodymium
Impedance: 300 Ohm
Price: $450
Weight: 250g
Units:4000 (After transform into the current HD600)
Discontinued: 1997 following the introduction to HD600
Introducing: HD580J
HD580J was an improved version of the HD580, a prototype of HD600 with an unique sound that's 25% better than the current HD600.
Even thou the HD580J had the same drivers as the HD600. It was in fact tuned, damped, and molded differently.
Sennheiser HD580 Jubilee Edition Sound: Release before the HD600 but sounded better? Slightly better bass response and better openness compare to the HD600. Slightly brighter than the HD600. Non-fatiguing. Crystal clear. Detail. Slight recess mids. And the sound-stage is okay.
Overall, a refine, tuned up version of the HD580. And 25% better than the current HD600 in sound quality and build quality.
Sennheiser HD580 Jubilee Edition Build: The build quality was rock solid. Many upgraded parts from the original HD580 precision, including the thermoplastic carbon fiber body and finish, computer tuned drivers, and steel grills. Because of these upgrades the Jubilee edition is way better than the original and also better than the current HD600. The comfort is the same Sennheiser comfort, one of the best.
HD580 Aftermath: After 4000 units created. Sennheiser switch the label and re-brand the HD580 and transform it into the beloved HD600!!
