SENNHEISER HD 599 Open Back Headphone, Ivory

Not much to say. These babies are everything you would expect from Sennheiser and more. Amazing sound, clean look, and surprisingly light on the head. Beautiful.

The HD599 is an attractive HP. The beige color is not the same as the HD598. I also purchased a HD579. I intend to use these primarily for watching movies. They excel at this type of use due to the comfort for long wear. Sennheiser has improved the build of these HPs compared to the previous 500 line. It does feel a little snug compared to the 598 but that is probably due to the 598 relaxing with use. I expect the same with these. Sound wise, the 599 is not so much an improvement over the 598. Its more of a different sound signature. Fundamentally, its very similar but tuned more to a focused sound as opposed to a more open sound of the 598. The 599 seems to be a better match to pop oriented music. Another way of understanding the difference is if you want a closer to the band experience, go with the 599. A few rows back to take in the concert hall cues, go with the 598. I still prefer the 598 for music in which a wider soundscape is desired. What the 599 looses in sound stage, it gains in focus and a stronger bass impact. There are at times a sense of a tuby sound in vocals depending on the source. I do prefer the 579 as it is a bit more neutral sounding. This is nit picking though and I highly recommend the 599 to anyone looking for a open back with some closed back attributes.

Comfort, stage presence(you hear the instruments from where they stand on the stage ),quality of sound, light weight, your ears fit in the speakers and there is no outside noice coming in, the price is reasonable and all these aspects make this unit a must have.

I ordered the wrong ones and had to return these! We needed wireless! Great quality though!

Debated between headsets for a while and throughout my research this one kept coming back up. Love this headset to death. It is comfortable beyond belief, the open back really widens the sound stage for games, movies and shows sound amazing, and so much more i am still learning about. I did get an dac/amp for it and it does make a huge different in what the headset picks up despite it being a low ohm set. Overall, I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a long term headset.

Primero que nada mencionar que los uso conectados a la PC, para escuchar musica y video juegos, la primera impresion es que obtienes lo que pagas, los materiales o la hechura del modelo esclusivo de amazon se siente medio chafona la verdad, aunque ya puestos, el sonido me gusto bastante, asi salidos de la caja, se escuchan muy bien conectados directo a la PC, especialmente si vienes de usar puro audifono gamer inalambrico, como yo, eso si, yo tengo la aplicacion Dobly acces en mi PC, los ecualice a mi gusto y eso ayudo muchisimo, pero despues aprendi que si compras un AMP/DAC, yo consegui un Fiio K3 (nueva version) y se escuchan muuuucho mejor, aqui es cuando dices WOW, que clase de brujeria es esta? El sonido es mucho mas dinamico, mas nitido y vas a querer escuchar toda tu libreria de musica porque se oyen sonidos que no sabias que estaban ahi, en juegos se escucha muy bien de donde viene el enemigo desde mucho antes que lo veas, incluso en una ocasion hasta brinque del susto porque el sonido es muy inmersivo, muy real, las balas las puedes oir pasar zumbando, me encanto!

I have tried many different pairs of over ear headphones over the years. This is the first one to actually not hurt my ears. Hooray.

My brother loves them! Great quality of sound for gamers!

Bought these and pair it with my GSX 1000 DAC and they sound Great!
