Sennheiser's HD 600 family of headphones is the stuff of legends and it all began in 1991 when Axel Grell joined the company and designed the HD 580 Precision headphones.

In 1995, to celebrate Sennheiser's 50th anniversary, the company released HD 580 Jubilee, which later evolved into the HD 600 and then the HD 650.

Now, Massdrop is collaborating with Sennheiser to create the Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 58X Jubilee, an updated version of the old HD 580 Jubilee.

The Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 58X Jubilee is tuned by Axel Grell and Massdrop using feedback garnered from Massdrop's active audiophile community.

Additionally, it uses new 150-ohm impedance drivers and has a design that closely mimics that of the original HD 580 Jubilee.

The Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 58X Jubilee will be available on Massdrop tonight at 10pm and is priced at US$149.99 (~S$202). Shipping is free within the US and US$15 internationally.

The drop is limited to 5,000 units and each member can only purchase up to five headphones. Finally, each headphone is serialized and the first 500 purchases are guaranteed to have a serial number under 550.

This isn't the first time Massdrop and Sennheiser are collaborating. Last year, they gave us the HD 6XX, which sold out in a mere two hours.
