Design
1.has stereo speakers
Sennheiser HD 400S
Devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better experience.
2.has an over-the-ear form
Sennheiser HD 400S
Comfortable full-size form with earcups that fully enclose your ears. This model is loved for its increased sound isolation and the fact that it won't leak sound to your neighbors. It offers potential for maximum bass and loudness levels.
3.has a detachable cable
Sennheiser HD 400S
With a detachable cable you can use alternative cables, and if the cable is pulled it will pop out instead of breaking.
4.sweat resistance
Sennheiser HD 400S
Resistance to sweat makes it ideal for use while doing sports.
5.weight
217g
We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
6.weather-sealed (splashproof)
Sennheiser HD 400S
The device is protected with extra seals to prevent failures caused by dust, raindrops, and water splashes.
Sound quality
1.lowest frequency
18Hz
The lowest frequency at which the device produces audio. The lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
2.highest frequency
20000Hz
The highest frequency at which device produces audio. The higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.
3.has passive noise reduction
Sennheiser HD 400S
The device sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal which reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out.
4.has active noise cancellation (noise control)
Sennheiser HD 400S
This type of device allows you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise. Ideal for plane rides and morning commutes.
5.sound pressure level
120dB/mW
Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
6.impedance
18 Ohms
Impedance is the device’s electrical resistance to the current being pushed through it. The lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.
Connectivity
1.Can be used wirelessly
Sennheiser HD 400S
Wireless devices allow users more freedom of movement.
2.has a 3.5mm male connector
Sennheiser HD 400S
A standard 3.5mm male connector is suitable for use with all MP3 players and computer sound cards.
Features
1.can be used as a headset
Sennheiser HD 400S
A headset is one headphone or pair with a built-in microphone. Headsets can be used for apps that require communication i.e. Skype, games with voice chat, mobile phones, etc.
2.has a noise-canceling microphone
Sennheiser HD 400S
These microphones are designed to filter out background noise from the desired sound. Especially useful in noisy environments.
3.number of microphones
1
More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise.
4.Has an in-line control panel
Sennheiser HD 400S
There is a control panel on the cable, so you can easily operate the device without having to interact with it.
5.Has voice prompts

With voice prompts, you will automatically receive information via audio messages – for instance, you may find out that the battery is running low, and it's time to recharge the device.
6.has a mute function
Sennheiser HD 400S
The device has an option to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the device.
Miscellaneous
1.mic sensitivity
-44dBV/Pa
It's the 'loudness' of the sound that the microphone can pick up.
2.lowest mic frequency
100Hz
The lowest frequency that the mic can pick up. Better for recording bass.
3.highest mic frequency
10000Hz
The highest frequency that the mic can pick up. Better for recording treble.
