The Sennheiser HD 300 Headphones are engineered for durability and designed with portability in mind, featuring a foldable headband for compact storage. Ideal for the audiophile on the move, these headphones are compatible with a myriad of portable devices like MP3 players, smartphones, and cameras, ensuring your favorite tracks are always within earshot. Sennheiser’s proprietary transducers deliver a sound experience that’s both balanced and rich in detail, with a pronounced and dynamic bass that brings your music to life. The headphones come equipped with a 4.6-foot cable, culminating in a 3.5mm right-angled mini-jack plug, meticulously designed for longevity and ease of connection. As the successors to the HD 4.20s and predecessors of the HD 400S, the HD 300 models stand out for their exceptional acoustic performance, offering a harmonious blend of deep bass tones and crisp highs that can satisfy the most discerning of listeners. Designed for universal compatibility, they feature a standard 3.5mm headphone output, suitable for most phones and audio devices. The around-ear design offers an immersive listening experience, creating an acoustic seal that isolates you from ambient noise, perfect for enjoying the nuances of complex musical compositions. The HD series has been a staple in professional settings, utilized extensively for studio production, live performance, broadcast, and DJ applications, thanks to their closed-back design that prioritizes sound insulation. The HD 300 not only shields you from external noise but also contains your music, preventing sound leakage and ensuring privacy during recording sessions or public commutes. These headphones are a testament to Sennheiser’s commitment to quality and comfort, featuring swivel and foldable ear cups upholstered in premium imitation leather and an adjustable headband for a secure, comfortable fit during extended periods of use. The HD 300 is a wired headphone set that’s straightforward and efficient. It features a single-sided cable to avoid tangling and is conveniently marked for quick identification of the left/right orientation. The detachable cable is secured with a twist-and-lock mechanism, preventing accidental disconnections. For professional applications, the cable includes a 3.5 mm jack and comes with a screw-on 6.3 mm adapter, making it versatile for various audio equipment. The cable length is tailored for instrumentalists and studio use, ensuring freedom of movement without compromise. The fit and wearability of the HD 300 are exceptional; they stay in place comfortably and apply just the right amount of pressure for a snug, non-slip fit. They also offer significant external noise attenuation (up to 32 dB), enabling a clear monitor signal, crucial for studio work or focused listening. An innovative aspect of the HD 300 is the “NoiseGuard” system, which is particularly advantageous in high-volume studio or DJ environments. This passive protection circuit employs a fast-acting compressor to temper signal peaks above 110 dB, adhering to EU noise abatement directives and safeguarding your hearing against excessive sound levels.
