Know before you buy
The HD 620S uses an angled transducer baffle and a specifically tuned acoustic chamber to mimic the spatial imaging of open-back speakers. This design creates a wider, more natural soundstage than typical closed-back models, which often sound confined.
With an impedance of 150 ohms, these headphones are versatile enough to work with many high-quality portable devices. However, using a dedicated headphone amplifier will ensure you get the best dynamics and full frequency response from the 42mm transducers.
Yes, they are designed for comfort with plush protein leather ear pads and a lightweight, steel-reinforced headband. The over-ear design distributes pressure evenly, making them comfortable for extended periods of use.
Because these are closed-back headphones, they provide significant physical isolation from your environment. They are excellent for blocking out ambient office noise or household sounds, though they do not feature active electronic noise cancellation.
Yes, the HD 620S features a detachable cable system. This allows you to easily replace the cable if it wears out or swap it for a different length or termination if needed.
While open-back headphones typically offer a more airy sound, the HD 620S bridges the gap by providing a spacious, detailed soundstage while maintaining the deep, controlled bass response and isolation that only a closed-back design can offer.
