Not many manufacturers would dare to enter the world of wood-grain effects on headphones along with something that reminds you of all the metallic sleekness you can imagine. The 500 Series, as its called adds the HD 598 headphones that are cream colored and incorporate a dark wood grain effect and maintains a glossy metallic trim. They also provide a frequency response of 12 to 38,500 Hz. It does well to reduce harmonic distortion to under 0.1 percent. Following up to this is the HD 558 that has a frequency response time of 15 to 28,000 Hz. What sets them apart is the “extremely soft velour ear pads that guarantee maximum wearing comfort even after hours of use”. Last in the line is the HD 518 with Ergonomic Acoustic Refinement (EAR) technology.
In addition to the headphones is the announcement of the PX 90 and the PMX 90 mini stereo headphones. All of these are expected this month for an unknown price.
