Fun Fact: Sennheiser came into existence just a few weeks after the end of World War II. Guess where? Germany. That's right. There's something to be said about how Germans seem to always hit the nail right on the head when it comes to audio. Sennheiser was the first to introduce open back headphones in the late sixties. The greatest headphones known to mankind - the Sennheiser Orpheus headphones were released in 1991, and came with a tube amplifier for added volume and sound quality.

 

This German audio giant doesn't need to reaffirm its foothold in the realm of personal audio. Sennheiser offers great entry level, affordable in-ear headphones, wireless headphones for TV & home theatre systems, studio monitoring headphones, professional DJ headphones as well as audiophile quality open-back over-ear headphones. Clearly, what's really unique about Sennheiser is that the company doesn't specialise in any single kind of headphone.

 

Sennheiser continues to be household name, recognizable to anyone with even a passing interest in sound.
