[@davidpark6005]

what is the main purpose of using earphones or headphones, I think that is, we don't want to be disturbed by anyone and want to hear the real sound and feel emotion from the sound. KSE1500? It's much expensive for the boosting amplifier. Sennheiser ? It can be, maybe. But I recommend this device, that is " kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6ncnYtmpceZg8U " It can be the final solution for the Hi-Resolution .

[@MrRayne911]

These kind of videos are literally the best advertisement a company can have to the consumer who is interested in more than just how a product looks. I will definitely look into sennheizer when buying my next pair of headphones.The tour could have been better and more informative but it was still an enjoyable video.

[@SpektrikMusic]

I own 3 pairs of sennheiser. I love all of em. So worth it!

[@thomaster8870]

Spektrik I have three as well aaaand... I don't have anything else to compare them against, so I can't objectively say how good they really are.

[@Ahmaurnamu]

Spektrik Me too! I forgot the first ones that I had though, I think it was the HD 2XX (not sure of the number hence the XX part). The second one was the HD558 and the one I'm currently using is the PC 363D. Plan on keeping these for a long time.

[@MrRayne911]

I guess I kinda wish they showed more of the manufacturing process of their other headphones. The HD800 sound impressive, but I am not going to spend over a 1000$ for a pair of headphones especially when my ath-m50 are amazing for me for 130$. So now that I think of it this was kind of a pointless video for me in terms of seeing the manufacturing process of items I am going to buy.

[@darthollpheist1156]

@@Milleniummeister 1 - yes they did. 2 - I know that you find that in a lot of things that require small hands. they do well because they have tiny hands that can hold things a bigger man's hand couldn't. At least not as well. Also, women tend to do better in monotonous jobs. My point was, why would you want to point that out? All it does is make you look like one of the idiots that believe women aren't paid the same or that they need more women to work (insert name) jobs. It makes them seem like "woke" fools.

[@Milleniummeister]

@@darthollpheist1156 They said, "You will mostly see women here" and.. My god, are you really that hung up on it? They mentioned something they did not expect for one reason or another. It's like saying "Well I did not expect that they test every product" and you're going "WELL WHAT ELSE WOULD THEY DO?! WHY DRAW ATTENTION TO THIS?!" Calm the fuck down, man. Sometimes a statement of fact is just a statement of fact. It is not even a "woke" tone it is just: "Wow. Surprised to see primarily women working on that step of production".. fucking hell man get a grip. the fact that you heard "women" and IMMEDIATELY flipped out and thought it was an agenda, says way more about you than them.

[@netsch20]

[@markvincentcocjin]

I love how they found a polite way of saying that the Urbanite and Momentum were made for the tone-deaf Beats-wearing public. I'm just kidding. I understood that Sennheiser cannot afford to have their brand forgotten by the new generation and that those base-heavy headphones were a way to promote the brand to non-audiophiles.

[@JSym92]

I've owned an Urbanite XL back when it was relatively new, and I can say it wasn't that bass-heavy at all. It had just the right amount of bass to make it great for electronic music, but the authentic Sennheiser sound was still there. It taught me that bass amount isn't what makes music sound good, but rather a good balance in the frequency response. I was convinced of their brand thanks to the Urbanite XL, and now I've owned an HD 660 S for over half a year already, which I can comfortably call my personal endgame in headphones for home listening. So overall, I'd happily say that Sennheiser has succeeded in trying to accomplish what they set out to do. They showed me what authentic/pure sound is about, and why so much in todays headphones market does not qualify as authentic/pure. Btw, I understand you were just joking, but thought I'd share this anyways since I'd say I'm living proof that they've been succesful in what they set out to do with the Urbanite and Momentum lines. Not argueing, just confirming :)

[@kennztube]

I’ve used the Momentum headphones for six months and I’m very pleased. They have what I’d say is a balanced sound with an edge toward bass, which I was looking for. I’ve owed sennheisers several times before and always found them of a high quality in build and sound delivery.

[@JSym92]

@@KEGosti The 660S is definitely a leader in its own class. Even though it's not as detailed as the 800S or even the HE-1, it offers just enough of everything to make me feel like I'm not missing anything. With a proper DAC/Amp and some EQ, you can truly do anything you want with them. And they're so damn comfortable..

[@Emmbedd]

@@JSym92 best headphones on the planet

[@konstantinschubert5344]

To paraphrase the interview: "We always built good headphones with a good frequency response, but actually people want shit headphones with too much bass, so that's what we're doing now"

[@timtammmo]

Konstantin Schubert accurate

[@kennztube]

I’d say that is a narrow view. They want to stay relevant and also make money. It can’t be only about top of the range units which many simply can’t afford or don’t want to spend that much but want something much better than the fashion headphones we see everyday. I have the Momentum unit and find them very pleasing. They were more expensive than any of my previous units and I feel they are a step up.

[@kevinmorrice]

@Don Mega i run my hd660s through a tube amp, adds a great sound to it

[@teogonzalezcalzada5812]

And now they commited fully to it. Sadly, RIP Sennheiser

[@maxmeier532]

I guess with most people using headphones in vastly different setting (mp3 source, cell phone as a player) than in the 70s, 80s and 90s, there is not much need for audiophile headphones anymore; that being said, sennheiser has among other, also produced shitty products for decades addressing price-concious people. In fact I knew a guy who used to work at their german factory (I dont recall if they were making the headphones or if they were just receiving and distributing there) and he told me when the packaging was damaged they would throw the whole box, including the headphones away, rather than going through the hoops of somehow repackaging or offering it at a reduced price as B-stock. And that's about 10-15 years ago. It's not like they woke up a year ago and noticed they need to make cheap shit that isnt worth repackaging, they have done that for a long time.

[@doodskie999]

beats cant even match the quality on even the rejected coils by sennheiser.

[@nal8503]

Momentum shit all over Beats, while looking significantly better and costing roughly the same.

[@Dan-nj7tr]

Yes, but the coils they make there are for +$1,000 headphones, they don't make the $100-300 ones there.

[@korvanon8832]

Beats are made for someone that likes brands. Sennheiser makes headphones for people that want high quality audio.

[@Netsuko]

I own my pair of Sennheiser HD-25 for more than 12 years now. They've been through everything, club tours, lan partys, train rides and airplane flights across the globe. And they still work like on the first day. The only thing that needed replacement were the ear cushions

[@HimmelWeint]

I'd hope so since headphones not durable enough to last through everyday wear and tear wouldn't even be worth looking at.

[@lominero5]

Himmel Weint Yeah, I love Sennheiser, but their in ear headphones tend to break too easily in my experience. When I learn of some durable ones I'll buy again, because I love their sound.

[@Calyx]

Grey Tiger My pair of sennheiser cx-300 II in-ear headphones broke after 4 years of daily service. Thats not bad actually, but it was to be expected for 40 euro (50$) because the cables are really flimsy and small. I bought a new pair and sent the old ones back to the factory for repair. 5 year warranty kicks fucking ass yo :D

[@lominero5]

Calyx lol Yes great warranty. I will check them out, thanks.

[@rohanes]

I was honestly disappointed with my Amperior when I first got it. Basically, the plastic parts look so cheap and even has rough edges and molten marks. It looked like they just recycled the HD-25 parts, put some aluminum cups and buttons, then slap it with a $350 price tag.

There is just a new management on top of it which may or may not decide to take the brand into a different direction in the future.

+Ixor That doesn't speak for all sennheiser headphones though.

[@jakem5039]

No but something I like to let people know

[@peepeepoopoo6787]

Beats*

[@thedigitalrealm7155]

This was so fascinating, and to have a lesson from the HD 800 designer himself! I'd fanboy out so hard. Thank you for bringing us this content, I hope to see more of it in the future. :)

[@Rikorage]

The fact that Sennheiser hand-picks individuals based in their previous experiences with attention to detail just blows my mind. Currently using HD428S headphones, and I have no complaints.

[@I3R0K3N7FEET]

I watched this while using beyerdynamic headphones. No regrets. :P

[@jonathanoxlade4252]

Beyerdynamic headphones look awesome I want a pair lol

[@bungieborris9111]

a company that hires more women then men based on qualification rather then diversity for the sake of diversity? NO WAY! #companyoftheyear! and im not using that hashtag sarcastically

[@eatonjask]

They're not alone - and the idea is not new. Early telephone companies had all male operators - but switched to female as the women were faster and more accurate at the job than men - and that's a century ago!

James Eaton And men are generally better qualified for jobs that require repeated heavy lifting and stamina. For example mining. When was the last time you've ever seen a girl miner?

[@Hollcall]

or LINEMAN. hahahahahaha

[@makotoyuki2199]

What about those German girls =>

[@B20C0]

Ye super sexist, we need a male quota for Sennheiser.

[@jawsofwar]

Ok KZbin you are cruel recommending this after hearing from Linus that sennheiser sold their headphone division

[@johnmoore5593]

This factory tour and the last have been some of the coolest videos I've seen in a while. And this has to be the best product advertisement available as well. I wasn't too concerned with which headphone brand I would buy next but now I just may have to look into these. :)

[@laggmonstret]

Wow! I'm a total Sennheiser fanboi and this was an awesome episode from Linus Tech Tips. It's good to spread the news about good sound so more people stop buying gaming headsets ;)

[@Smood47]

listening to this on my hd 800 S :)

[@zoltanhuse5042]

ofc

[@antoniostahl1995]

so am i :D

[@manojkale4408]

Iam curious to know how that flagship headphones can sound if cheap sennheiser headphones sound quality is way better than others midrange headphones

[@hunterscars01]

@Manoj Kale the common phrase thrown around is "you can hear god with these things" that should be a pretty good indication as to how good they can sound.

[@BradMaestas]

@@manojkale4408 The HD 800 S is absolutely fantastic. My favorite headphone yet. I'm running it balanced with a Woo Audio WA22 and Cardas Clear dual XLRs. The stock cable is already pretty good but Cardas Clear takes it to another level. I started with the 580s then went to the 600s, both of which I still have, so I suppose you could say I love the Senn house sound.

[@drbali]

Planned obsolescence is real, and Sennheiser didn't do it... and they're gone.

[@zachspiegel1577]

Anyone else here from the WAN show?

[@cassi03]

yes daddy

[@vecdran]

Keep up the top notch content gents! You're the only tech channel I've remained subscribed to longer than a month.

[@ginopalma7130]

This is one of my favorite videos. I like this a lot.

[@Douwantapotato]

watched this whole tour with my Sennheiser Urbanite XLs :D

[@sethwiley71]

I love the urbanites but I went with the HD598

[@ColtonBlumhagen]

Because it said Germany in the title I got a weird German ad for some ereader I'd never heard of. #ThanksObama

[@tpcs8667]

(facepalm). It's #Thanksseotoro barry soetoro is his real name. Jesus, doesn't anyone do any real research anymore? This has been public knowledge since even 2 years before his first illegally attempted presidential election run ( Hint, He is a dual citizen which is against the USA's constitution for anyone qualifying to run for president which makes sense because it would be a contradiction of nationality).

[@ColtonBlumhagen]

Raymond Tyson Seems legit bro.

[@VideosBySimon]

Raymond Tyson This was debunked... It was an april fools joke www.factcheck.org/2009/05/was-obama-born-in-the-usa/

[@havok2022]

Raymond Tyson Facepalm was invented for people like you who believe every bit of nonsense they read on the internet. How clueless could you possibly be?

[@r3mxd]

that face is top cringe m8

[@ubacow7109]

I wanna see more LTT Factory tours

[@BillKinsman]

I just got a pair of Sennheiser HD800S's and I am so happy to see where they came from. They rule.

[@ArruVision]

Amazing. This is one of the things you don’t expect to see in Europe anymore. Thank you!

[@zodspeed]

ok youtube, i finally watched this. you happy now?

[@trahim2]

My 598's just came in the mail. These things scream luxury. I finally understand why people spend hundreds on headphones. I feel like I stole these because the black Friday price I bought them at just doesn't do this thing justice.

Yeah i use these for music production! They are amazing, One thing though, you might wanna boost the bass 50-60 hz with the dolby EQ a tiny bit, the bass is punchy but it's definitely lacking a bit of sub bass. But not too much , by 1 or 2 db. Other than that they are amazeballs

[@IanDresarie]

Wait, you guys were in Hannover and did not visit me? o.O

[@lemo_manda6076]

IanDresarie Solche Schweine ! 😂

[@davidmcbenge9370]

This was a great video tour of the plant and the workers and how they went through the testing and quality control of their products. I have a greater respect for this company for the way they treat their employees. I would like to see a tour of some of the motherboard companies and how they test and put the parts all together for the final product. That would be a great trove of knowledge. I am sure different companies have a vastly different way to do their testing and QA. Thanx for the great vid!!!

[@whollymindless]

Amazing lighting work on these. Thanks for these visits to our heroes and showing us that they care as much as we do.

[@mcmaximax]

Suddenly the price of the HD800's makes sense

[@angryindiancritic9989]

RIP Sennheiser 😭😭

[@conturnplayscounturn6911]

Sad that they had to close so soon :(

[@mechdgames5061]

PLEASE do more of these videos, it's incredibly interesting to see the processes behind top quality brands and products.

[@conormadigan7829]

Love it. Worked for Sennheiser communications for 9 months (now called EPOS) never got to visit this factory but spent 1.5 months salary on Sennheiser stuff even with the crazy discount.

[@jono051283]

Is this bugged to 360p again? Or am I just to early?

[@TellanLee]

early

[@jono051283]

The moto 360 was not intentionally rendered to be in 360p only, Linus said KZbin fucked it up.

[@AdityaTech]

I guess youtube can't handle the awesomeness of LinusTechTips so it's stuck at 360p , KZbin fix it !!!!

[@ebthepcguy]

Aditya Tech There's usually 240p and 480p as well. I think it may be bugged as well.

[@ebthepcguy]

480p here we go...

[@mattwardpictures]

Too bad you guys didn't spend more time with the Orpheus... I'm still rocking my HD580 & HD600 cans (since 2001 & 2006, respectively.) Most of the parts are interchangeable with the still extant HD650, and _everything_ is replaceable-the main reason they've lasted this long. Long enough to survive my clumsy late-childhood's stewardship and from thence into adulthood as a freelance NLE. I've gotten more than my money's worth, and their sentimental value is major.

[@HorrorCreeperLP]

german engeneering :D i am so proud of my country

[@makotoyuki2199]

I need Healing Lucky...

[@angelcerda2944]

why? are you proud of all the killings they did during ww2

[@gauranggppatkar2968]

I too appreciate the German engineerering especially with Carl Zeiss and Sennheiser.

[@makotoyuki2199]

GaurangGP Patkar I constantly call it Nazi engineering as a non offensive sock joke XD. And anything Russian made, Communist engineered. French, surrendered engineering.

[@mikekind5906]

@@angelcerda2944 Unless you are from New Zealand or Iceland I am sure your countries history has many dark moments too. And what does being proud of a countries products have to do with a countries negative history? I am not German but I give credit to many things the Germans invented and developed. Many of their products and inventions improved the quality of life of many people. The rest of the world has always been relying on countries like the US, Germany, the UK, France, Japan... to come up with all the solutions. Without many of these countries the world would be a lot more underdeveloped and way further behind in almost everything than it is now.

[@brendanhoffmann8402]

So cool! I have a pair of HD 480 that were made in West Germany before the Berlin wall fell! (They still sound amazing), I got my Mum to knit some replacement covers for them. I have 6 pairs of sennheisers, Momentum, Urbanite, HD 480, HD 558, HD 599 and HD 280 Pro.

[@danh.5825]

Thanks for the tour. I love my HD800 and it's great seeing how they were made.

[@hectorvalentine6740]

These videos are awesome!!!!!! you should visit Nvidias Main Office! :D

[@jojoke2988]

Office or factory

Jojo Ke I hope factory

[@hectorvalentine6740]

both! lol

[@jakesmith8964]

Nah, lets go to a real gaming companies factory... IBM anyone? :P

[@tralx5268]

Im only half a hour away from Hannover and not "Hanover" ^^

[@DaFish1337]

The English name of the city is Hanover with one "n".

[@immanklein]

***** still, it's not an english name.

[@Hubieee]

***** standard facepalm moment

[@tralx5268]

***** Okay so I can say to California Kalifornien because its my language ?

[@nicklmg]

We did change it since so many people complained, but "Hanover, Germany" is technically the correct spelling as both names are being presented in English. If we said "Hanover, Deutschland" that would be incorrect.

[@christophsmaul5575]

Maybe you can Visit a Beyerdynamic Factory next time :D

[@Jasshands1]

Sennheiser is awesome. Their customer support is unreal and honestly after seeing this video. My next set of headphones will be sennheiser

[@Tallnerdyguy]

5 years later and 4 sennheiser headsets later, i finally see this. Have been a sennheiser fanboi forever. Glad to see that they put so much effort into my favorite headsets and headphones.
