Sennheiser HD 620S Review
Few audio brands are as well known as Sennheiser, and within its line-up, the HD 600 series is one of its most iconic. The HD 600, HD 650, and HD 6XX have all been staples in the audio world and today we have a new entry: the HD 620S. It features a closed-back design for isolation and portability, a stylish new chassis, and a sound that’s full, rich, and surprisingly spacious. Coming in at $349.95, these headphones are a solid value, especially if you’re already a fan of Sennheiser’s sound.

The HD 600 series shares a common design: ovular cups with large grilles, Y-shaped yokes, and dual cable connections. Here, we have something much closer to the HD 560S, a headphone I reviewed back in 2021 and still recommend to this day. The backs are solid, of course, but the cups are tighter and smaller in appearance. The Y-yoke is gone, replaced with a single arm that allows for a small amount of tilt to match different head and face shapes. The cable connection has also been simplified down to a single detachable cable on the left earcup.
I jive far more with this type of design than I do with the more vintage appearance off the extended HD 600 series. In the time before this review, I’ve
