[2. Square Wave ]



[3. Minimum Phase ]



[4. Harmonic Distortions ]
94 dB SPL @ 500 Hz



[5. Impedance ]



[6. Sound Insulation ]
Earpads of HD 530 II are too stiff to fit the ears exactly, so these inevitably have sound leakage through the gap under the earpads. The amount of leakage would vary from person to person.
