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

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.

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.

Love these headphones. Very comfortable to wear for long periods of time, sound quality is amazing, and comes with two cables with different terminations. Cable quality is fine - I ended up upgrading for fun. It would be nice to have a case come with it but considering they go on sale for ~$100 it's great value.

These phones have great sound reproduction and are quite comfortable. I like the over the ear type for listening while relaxing. Helps to drown out any extraneous sounds.

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.

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.

Comfortable headphones, good sound quaility. Use them all the time with computer

These are worth the price of admission. They sound great and you can wear them for extended sessions gaming, working, listening to music, etc. without your ears hurting from the pressure of other headsets. Get them on sale, though as these are Sennheiser and with that name comes the "tax". I chose these over the newer versions strictly for the comfort as I do sometimes have them on for long (ie. 3+ hrs.) periods before my ears start to hurt. The cord length is amazing as it can get from the back of my computer to me and still a lot of slack left over. Quality is premium since it's a name you can count on to produce lovely sound.

No sé a que vienen las críticas negativas por parte de algunos clientes y usuarios de YouTube. Si lo que esperaban es el sonido de unos de gama alta, pues entonces no es para ellos. Tienen un sonido claro para no ser neutrales del todo no son para a los que les gustan unos fuertes graves o agudos a los que están acostumbrados de otras marcas que los exageran. Con este tipo de auriculares podrás escuchar matices que no habrás oído nunca, los cuáles están enmascarados. Yo poseo unos AKG K-240 MKII estudio también de sonido neutral (Sé que su precio es bastante inferior) Y aunque también reproducen muy bien el sonido tienen el problema de que por su impedancia 55 Ohms necesita un apoyo para que suenen con gran potencia, cosa que no ocurre con estos SENNHEISER HD 599SE con sus 50 ya se escuchan bastante fuertes. El AKG trabaja en unas frecuencias entre 15-25000 Hz y los SENNHEISER 12- 38500 Hz. Por la comodidad pues los dos son lo bastante cómodos ya que están construidos en materiales de plástico de calidad por lo que pesan poco AKG 240grs. SENNHEISER 250grm. El diseño de los SENNHEISER ayudan a que el sonido se envuelva y vaya más directo a los oídos. Los dos vienen con dos cables desmontables con diferentes tipos de jack aunque el AKG le conexión al mismo es con entrada mini XLR por lo que si en un futuro tienes algún problema es más difícil de encontrar. El SENNHEISER solo trae las almohadillas que vienen montadas en material aterciopelado muy buenas al tacto también te cubren las orejas en su totalidad tambiénayuda su diseño (Existe recambio). Los AKG traen dos tipos unos en piel sintética que ayudan a producir sudor y otras aterciopelada estas no cubren en totalidad las orejas por su diseño circular distintos a los SENNHEISER que son avaladas. Debemos de tener muy en cuenta que los dos son auriculares no cerrados por lo que sale sonido al exterior y también entra sonido también del exterior (Aconsejo utilizarlos en el interior) Por lo que ayudan a reducir la fatiga y se pueda estar más tiempo utilizándolos. Si puedes esperar a que Amazon tenga en oferta los SENNHEISER te saldrán algo más económicos que los AKG y en verdad os digo que merece la pena. Yo los he comprado a 79,99 € cuando su precio oscila en cualquier tienda a 170. Los AKG por su parte tienen un precio de 77 € Espero que mi reseña os ayuden.

Sennheiser é sempre um produto de alta qualidade. Pode comprar.

多分、使った初日と1週間後で評価が変わる製品だとおもいます わたしは聴き始めは、高音、中音がこもって聴こえて、高い製品なのに少し微妙だなと思いました ただ、しばらく使うと高音、中音がクリアなのではなく、丸く優しく聴こえてるんだと感じるようになりました このヘッドホンは、「音楽を聴いてテンション上げたい」時に使うと物足りないヘッドホンだと思うんです ただ、夜にお風呂入ってベッドで横になってゆっくり音楽を聴きたい時に、HD599でクラシックやバラード曲を聞くと、装着感もソフト、音質もソフトなのですごいリラックスできます リラックスして聞くと音の広がりもスゴく気持ちいいです 音を楽しんでテンションを上げるヘッドホンとしては適してませんが、ゆっくりリラックスして音楽に浸るには最適なヘッドホンだと思います

I really don’t understand the few negative reviews on these headphones. I’ve always had Sennheisers and these are the first open back, which take a little getting used to. But if I want complete silence I’ll grab my noise canceling cans. The SE599’s are light and perfectly comfortable. Sound is great, unlike other Sennheisers these definitely have more mid bass which is fine. Easy to pull a little out of the mix of it’s not your thing. The mids and highs are not harsh at all and in all a very balanced headphone. Hard to beat for the price.

These headphones are the best budget headphones you'll find. Comparing these to Sennheiser 660s2, the 660s2 are just very slightly better over all, and more than triple the price.
