SENNHEISER HD 599 Open Back Headphone, Ivory

All plastic, does not feel very robust at all. Part of the headband allows the cups to rotate, and this part is thinner than a bic pen. The sound is fine as youd expect, but they do not feel like a $50 pair of headphones, much less a $200 pair. Planned obsolescence, what a shame. Ill be returning them ASAP. They are not built to handle daily wear and tear, but unless you buy a new pair of headphones every three years, these companies dont make as much money. Personally I dont think of headphones as a subscription service. For some reason, people seem to make light of planned obsolescence with comments like youll want to upgrade in a few years anyway. If my first pair of sennheisers, or first pair of grados, or first pair of sonys, or first pair of portapros, or my beats (I know. They were free.) had lasted, I would not have bothered replacing any of them. Im not rough on my headphones either, they never leave my desk.

Good looking, good sounding, very comfortable, well packed. I will say some of the construction feels a little weak in places, especially joints. Honestly thats gonna be the case with a lot of headphones though. I feel like I got what I paid for and would definitely recommend. I have friends that have bought similar models and feel the same way.

Estaba buscando unos nuevos audifonos para mi computadora para poder escuchar musica y hablar con mis amigos, y este fue un perfecto producto, tiene un cable corto de 3.5mm en caso de que tengas un alcance rapido tu dispositivo, pero sino igualmente tiene un cable largo con un adaptador, dado que el cable largo tiene una entrada de jack de 5mm, pero incluye el adaptador.

I upgraded to HD599s from HD558s. Theres a very noticeable difference in the clarity that the 599s provide.

Muy buen audífono abierto. Bajos presentes, medios precisos, agudo con buen detalle. Comodidad nada que decir.

主にテレビ用のヘッドフォンとして使ってます。特に不満はありません。

So happy with these.

Been exploring and enjoying a lot of classical and opera during this pandemic and listening over my usual Bluetooth devices just doesn’t cut it. Just had to think that I was missing definition, especially with the strings and lighter percussion. I was right. After doing a reasonable search, I found these recommended highly for classical by a few sources, largely due to the expanded range and the open back for not just the fuller sound but a more natural experience too. I’ve always been satisfied with Sennheiser quality in the past, so waited for a good price ($163) and ordered them up. Arrived in timely way, packaged in a nice box. Complete with the two cable lengths mentioned. Those are also high quality. I’ve been wearing them for up to 3 hours continuously and haven’t noticed any discomfort on a bald head. These phones meet my expectations completely. I’m hearing notes that my other cheaper devices couldn’t deliver. Great experience so far! Just need to either find a protective pouch or mountable hanger for safekeeping.

I have HD555 for ten years, so I am used to their sound. HD599 has clearer sound, I could hear more instruments which I did not hear before. I have overbassed output, so basses were too much, but this could be solved. The main problem for me was, that it felt somehow slow. I am not audiophile, but the songs, which are not so fast but should feel alive, like e.g. Jimmys gang, felt much more like when somenone pushes from last breath some heavy circurs on wheel, not like something which should make you dance.

Los agarré en descuento y fue una excelente compra, suenan mejor de lo que esperaba y son muy cómodos, sorpresivo francamente, quizá podrían ser un poco más robustos pero si tienes cuidado no creo que les pase nada nunca, como son open back el sonido es muy abierto y los audífonos son, reitero, muy, muy cómodos para traerlos muchas horas seguidas puestas, eso si, para viajar y así no son, son para usarlos en casa sentado mientras haces algo o simplemente por gozarlos pero en definitiva no son para estar moviéndose o así, en general el sonido es muy bueno, hacia el lado neutral pero no totalmente neutral, tienen buena respuesta, superaron mis expectativas.
