Closed-back over-ear design

The Sennheiser HD 400 S is a pair of closed-back over-ear headphones with a detachable single-sided cable ending in a 3.5 mm angled plug. A one-button inline remote on the cable handles music playback and phone calls through the built-in microphone. The folding construction reduces the footprint for transport and storage. The headphones weigh 0.48 lb.

Listeners needing portable isolation

Commuters and office workers who want passive noise reduction and a simple way to answer calls without reaching for a device will appreciate the closed-back cups and the cable-mounted remote. The 18 ohm impedance makes them easy to drive from phones or laptops. Buyers who prefer open-back soundstage or need active noise cancellation should look elsewhere.

18 ohm input impedance

With an input impedance of 18 ohms and a sensitivity of 120 dB SPL @ 1 kHz, 1V RMS, the headphones reach loud volumes from low-voltage sources such as smartphones and tablets without an external amplifier. The frequency response spans 18 Hz to 20 KHz (-10 dB), and total harmonic distortion stays below 0.5 % at 1 kHz, 100 dB SPL. The microphone covers 100 Hz to 10 KHz with a sensitivity of -44 dBV/Pa.
