Sennheiser HD 599 - Open Headphones, Special Edition, Black, Wired

My friend has been raving about his open-ear Sennheisers for years, so when I decided to get back into playing music I decided to take the plunge. These are great -- comfortable even for me, a man with a very large head and big ears. The sound quality is great and you can still hear your surroundings. Obviously you wouldn't want to use these in a noisy area, and you also wouldn't want to use them in a very quiet space around other people. It's a pricey buy but worth the splurge.

This is just an HD599 but cheaper, that's simply the best way to put it. A full price HD599 may not be worth it because it has relatively mediocre audio for $200, especially when the HD 560S exists, but for $130? Absolutely worth it. These headphones have a very solid but not overbearing clamp force, so as you can imagine they're very comfortable and stable on the head. With an impedence of just 50 ohms, you should easily be able to plug it in to just about anything and get great audio. They aren't especially large, so you could probably get a decently small case for them and take them wherever you want. Bass is slightly muffled but thumpy, mids are beautifully clear, and treble is clear but not piercing to listen to. Audio profile is warm and fun, rather than cold and analytical.

Great sound quality, truly is top notch. The only issue with these headphones though is the noise bleed. It is crazy how much my microphone can pick up from this things, but just use Nvidia Broadcast and you should be good!

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Was looking to replace my Audio Technica m20x which was aging, and starting to become worn down. Mostly a choice between these and the m50x, and decided to go with a different brand. Looking like I made the correct choice on the 599s. Lightweight, removable cord, nice and comfortable over-ear cups. First 'major brand' type of headphones I've owned and highly believe they're worth picking up. Functionality: The bass is great, the first game I had opened and tried with the 599s' was Left 4 Dead 2 on the Chainsaw Massacre mutation. The idling of the chainsaw was a deeper hum, and when actually using it- the sound was a tad muddy but hardly noticeable to begin with.

I was monitoring price changes and caught the low. Win! The sound is excellent but you will need an above average adapter for iPhones. The ear cushions are soft and comfortable and ideal for extended listening. Sennheiser is the best alternative to the uncomfortable ear pads from other competitors.

When i first got them i was confused about the sound, mostly was neutral and drowned, so i did some research and had an EQ change it's audio, from there on out i got to actually use their whole great audio quality. Build wise, doesn't feel cheap, feels durable ngl, just of course don't be careless with them, ease of the cable and taking it in or out was alright, just confused at the start, actually good thing they have a rotation thing to make the cable stay really firm and plugged to the headphones, another good thing since i stay in long session listening to music is that i don't get lightheaded since they're open back, airflow from there is good. Going back to the audio, most noticeable thing about it is the soundstage, really great, literally hearing where all the instruments and surroundings are coming from, it's nice like really really nice, that's mostly what i can say about them, been using them for more than a month now and they're good for the price i bought them for.

I live in an apartment, and got these so I could play my Yamaha digital piano without generating complaints from neighbors. I enjoy the aural experience that headphones can provide, but in the past have found most uncomfortable to wear for any length of time, due to the pressure and heat buildup. These are open-back with cushy ear cups and a very adjustable headband, which largely eliminates discomfort and sweaty ears. I was skeptical of the skinny little cable but the sound quality is immense. You can also unplug the cable from the phones themselves, and can switch out mini 1/8 and standard 1/4 plugs, which are both included. Between the comfort level of these and the surprising dimensions of the virtual sound stage they create, it's like I'm not even wearing headphones. Plus with the open backs, I can hear the dog bark or the phone ring. So while I appreciate getting lost in the music, I like that I'm still very connected to my outer environment in an immediate, unmuffled way.

bought it used (mistake). right ear blew out and stopped working 7 months into owning. sound quality is decent, like 8/10 and value was fairly worth it but them breaking after less than a year is a no go... learn from me, dont buy used.

Nach einem Jahr im Einsatz kann ich diesen Kopfhörern eine sehr gute Bewertung geben. Sie sind auch im Dauereinsatz sehr bequem zu tragen und zeichnen sich durch einen sehr guten Klang sowohl im Gaming als auch bei Musik und Filmen aus. Außerdem sind sie solide verarbeitet, auch wenn es bei dem Preis halt viel Plastik und keine Premiummaterialien sind. Dazu kann er auch ohne DAC sehr gut am Mainboard des PCs betrieben werden. Mit DAC sind die Kopfhörer fast ein wenig zu laut. Wer diesen Kopfhörer im Angebot kauft, der wird denke ich damit sehr glücklich werden.

First time purchasing outside of budget earbuds and disposable earphones ,these are a whole new experience and recommend everyone to get a pair
