Sennheiser HD 26 Closed-Back On-Ear Broadcast Headphones

Professional Monitoring Headphones for Broadcast and Production Work

The Sennheiser HD 26 are closed-back on-ear monitoring headphones engineered specifically for radio and television broadcasting professionals. Designed with a focus on audio accuracy and user comfort, these headphones deliver exceptional passive noise isolation and reliable performance in fast-paced studio and live production environments.

Broadcast-Optimized Sound and Design

Built for critical listening in noisy spaces, the HD 26 headphones reproduce audio with impressive detail and clarity. With a maximum SPL of up to 128 dB, they help you monitor important details even in loud environments. The closed-back design ensures minimal sound leakage and strong isolation, making them ideal for use in control rooms, mobile units, or live broadcast settings.

ActiveGard Technology for Hearing Protection

Sennheiser’s ActiveGard technology is built into the HD 26 to protect your hearing during long broadcast sessions. This system reduces the risk of sudden loud audio spikes by compressing excessive peaks without introducing distortion. With three selectable attenuation levels, you can adjust protection based on your monitoring needs. It meets international safety standards and allows for more comfortable, stress-free listening.

Comfortable, Durable, and Built for Daily Use

The HD 26 is made with the needs of working professionals in mind. Its split headband design ensures a secure and personalized fit, while the swiveling earcups make one-ear monitoring easy for quick cues or communication on set. The soft ear cushions and low-profile headband padding make long hours of use more comfortable. Both the cable and ear cushions are fully replaceable, which helps extend the life of your headphones.

Low-Noise Cable and Smart Ergonomics

Unlike typical headphones that can pick up unwanted mechanical noise through the cable, the HD 26 features a specially designed cable that minimizes structure-borne noise, keeping your audio clean and distraction-free. A 1/4-inch adapter and cable clip are included for flexible connectivity across a wide range of professional audio gear.

Made for Broadcast Professionals Who Need Precision
