SENNHEISER HD 599 Open Back Headphone, Ivory

This is my first pair of open-back headphones, and Im absolutely in love. I have tinnitus as a result of dental surgery years back, and closed-back headphones made my ears feel like they were suffocating. With these open-back Sennheisers, my hearing feels open and unrestricted. And the sound quality is amazing! Not to sound too cliche, but I listen to songs Ive heard a hundred times before, and Im now hearing details Ive never heard before.

Got it for 100$ at a December sale,

SONYのMDR-Z1Rはプレイヤーからの音をそのまま素直に表現することを目指しているそうですが、このHD599は味付けがされているように感じます。

Im no audiophile, but I do hear detail in music that I had not heard before with these headphones. Actually, these will also make flaws in lower quality audio files sounds more obvious. Youll benefit from higher quality audio sources. Do yourself a favor and watch Dune (2021) while wearing these. Its a joy.

I had a pair of Sennheiser 580 headphones for twenty years which were excellent. These are a replacement and they have the same excellent performance but look a bit more swish. The sound quality is bang on - punchy base without being overwhelming and the other frequencies sound natural. Theyre very comfortable to wear for long periods and the ability to switch between long and short cables is useful although I was a bit puzzled by the fitting at first until I worked out that it was a twist bayonet. To unplug from the headset you have to twist and pull, not just pull.

Hervorragender Klang und ergonomisch.

Es un gran auricular por el precio que tiene, lo conseguí ademas en oferta, así que mejor todavía. Construcción en plástico pero sólida. Me decidí por él por su claridad y la separación de los instrumentos, su escena amplia por ser abiertos (yo los utilizo solo en la casa). Al ser un poco en v le da calidez y color a la música sin pasarse, los agudos no molestan. Los recomiendo. Ah! son comodisimos, tengo otros que me cansan al rato, estos no. Lo único que no me agrada tanto son sus cables (propietarios), trae dos, el corto demasiado corto y el largo demasiado largo, voy a conseguir uno tipo acordeón.

Some of the best headphones in both comfort and sound quality but for the price go with 598 or 650s

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.

After being a sony fan for a long time being told that these would be really good headphones by many friends, obviously they never owned sony headphones then because my XM4 headphones provide way better quality bass and the clarity is just the same. I am a big audio nerd as to say I suppose, when buying these i guess i had my hopes too high. Theyre not bad, dont get me wrong, they look nice and feel nice and sound nice, im just disappointed that i could spend a little big more and get something thats also comfortable but has bluetooth and noise cancelation with a lot of other tech filled in it as well...
