The HD 58X Jubilee contains design elements of the original Sennheiser HD 580 Jubilee, while incorporating a brand-new transducer and 150-ohm drivers which require less amplification than previous driver platforms. This provides increased versatility, so listeners can experience reference-class fidelity while using either stationary or mobile playback devices.
"In Sennheiser, we have found a partner who is listening to our community and is able to respond quickly to input we receive," commented Steve El-Hage, CEO and Co-Founder of Massdrop. "The design and sound signature of the HD 58X Jubilee were crafted based on this direct feedback, enabling Massdrop to quickly deliver on exactly what the enthusiast community is asking for."
The sound signature of the Sennheiser HD 58X Jubilee can be described as clear, fast, dynamic and lively, sharing similar characteristics with the Sennheiser HD 600 and the HD 650 headphones. A clean, extended bass response is combined with a smooth and clear upper midrange.
In an aesthetic homage to the Sennheiser HD 580 Precision headphone, the HD 58X Jubilee features a glossy black headband and gray metal grilles. The headband is generously padded, and the ear pads are covered in soft velour for hours of comfortable listening. The accompanying detachable 6-foot cable is made of highly conductive OFC copper with sturdy para-aramid reinforcement and a very low handling noise.
