Headband works, I would have liked a bit extra adjustment but I have a long head so it shouldn't be a problem for most people.

Although they clamp less, the Garbage bag material is still not my friend, after some time of use the parts where it makes contact on my head really feels assaulted, the pads molest those parts. The Earpads of the HD530 are same as the 280 PRO in that they are the Garbage bag material.īut.they are not uncomfortable as the 280s were. They are mostly plastic but they feel solid, headband has the same system as the k812 or should I say the k812 has the same system as the HD530 and others. The HD530s are quite large, it is the largest headphone in my collection which is odd. From the velour Earpads of the HD540 Reference II to even the Headband. The Ovation headphone parts are all replaceable with this HD530. Like all German headphones back then, all parts serviceable and interchangeable. The HD530s were launched back in the early 90s. These are part of the early 5XX series which was way better than the crap Sennheiser is selling today. 600Ohms don't, from that information I should have a 600Ohm but the seller tells me that they are 300Ohm. One being the 600Ohm which this should be - wait I'll come to it. The HD530 has very little information.Īpparently, there are two impedance versions. I have a thing for "Vintage German Dynamics". I'm known to be harsh so if you want a ruthless yet honest review then keep on reading or else leave, just saying cause I've made a lot of owners upset in the past.Īnyway, the HD530 is a Vintage. The HD650 was my first HiFi headphone, sentimental value aside all Sennheiser headphones are insignificant. Their current line except a few is almost hilarious, they went from making HE-60s to then giving us the HD800. They went from making very good, I'm not going to say great but good headphones.

Before I start I want to go over some things, Sennheiser is one of the big names that really let themselves go.
