Sennheiser HD 620S: slow food for the ears

For those who like it purist: Sennheiser's HD 620S(Bild: Krone KREATIV/Sennheiser)

Without everything - this is how Sennheiser's latest headphone addition, the HD 620S, can be described quite aptly. In an age of increasingly complex electronics, this purist approach is extremely refreshing. Not to mention its sound.

For decades, headphones were something for connoisseurs: you put them on, sat down, closed your eyes and listened. At best, you could read what was on the record or CD cover in passing. However, with the Walkman, Discman and finally the iPod, as well as the accompanying digitalization of music through formats such as MP3 and ultimately streaming services, this practice was increasingly forgotten.
