Sennheiser HD 598 Special Edition Over-Ear Headphones - Black (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

You get to listen to the MIDS which you miss out on the M50-X. Wouldnt recommend as primary MIX headphones, but as a reference along with the M50s works better

It is for sound quality only bass is so low but sound quality is also not worth price it is better if sennheiser sell this product under 5k Best part is design and weight It looks amazing and very low weight dont bother u if u wear it for long hours it is the best part of headphone Now come to cons as I already mentioned it produces very low bass and leaks a lot of sound if someone is sitting nearby u he will listen everything what u are listening like u are playing music in your smartphone speaker noise cancelling is also not good if u are paying 8000 it is is the worst headphone under this price if u want bassy headphone go with skull candy crusher one thing again if u get this headphone under 5000 go for it but if only under 5000 not a penny above it in the case if u want a very very light weight and best looking headphone with good sound quality .

Ive owned these for a year or two now after buying it from Amazons Black Friday sale. First off, these are super comfortable and I often wear these even when im not listening to music to keep my ears warm! Pros: - Did I mention they were super comfortable? - Great sound quality - Adjustable tabs are still staying strong after a year or two of daily use Cons: - Mainly for home use, due to the open concept - If you use it for your computer, cord is slightly too long - Pricey if they arent on sale If you get these, id definitely recommend looking into this headphone stand, it fits perfectly on it!

Not bad!!

Just try them! I am not a big headphone guy, as I always found headphones did not sound as open and natural as a good pair of stereo speakers. I have a pair of 6 foot high speakers which need a very big amp to drive them. These speakers are very revealing, but these headphones sound amazingly similar. As long as you understand that these are open backed headphones, which leak sound, these are fantastic sounding headphones. Specifically, they have a very open soundstage and they have good drive. I think the best thing you can say is that these headphones sound as good as relatively expensive,large speakers, and are a pleasure to listen to.As I mentioned, I am not a big headphone guy, but I do own a pair of Sennheiser Momentum over the ear headphones, and can give you a brief comparison. Both headphones are relatively neutral, and have low enough impedance that you can connect them to your phone or iPod and have good sound. The Momentum is closed back, and does not leak sound, so it is better for listening on the go. It is very clear, and has more (but not ridiculously overdone) bass. Closed back headphones, due to their physical design, can often times have more bass than open backed headphones. The HD598 has a much more open soundstage, and a bit less neutral sound, but have an engaging and non-fatiguing sound. The headphones are supremely comfortable. There is plenty of NATURAL bass, not boosted through equalization adjustments. The best thing I can say is that I am quite picky when it comes to listening to music- I want something clear, natural and open, so I really like my speaker system. The HD598 makes me want to listen to music, and is as satisfying as my large speakers. Highly recommended, and very inexpensively priced for the sound quality and enjoyment you get from them!

Sound fantastic and are a great value. Very lightweight and comfortable. Highly recommend.

Ok, here it goes. I have been a big fan of Sennheiser headphones for quite some time now. I purchased these on an Amazon sale during Black Friday. At the price I paid, these are a no-brainer. However, after all the reviews, when I initially got them I was disappointed. The reviews I had read were supposed to give me an audiophile experience that I was not experiencing. I took them on a plane ride and I was underwhelmed. I persevered and kept listening. I evn purchased an affordable FiiO amp but it did not help. To you guys out there that are not experts, a cheap amp headphone will increase the volume of the music but is not supposed to improve the quality. My music is really eclectic and ranges from classical, jazz to rock. As I am listening to Indie Cyndy by the Pixies now, I get it. There is indeed a burn-in time with these headphones. You have to spend hours of listening to get the music to unleash. So here is my five cents. I am finally extremely pleased with the purchase, but if I would have written this review 3 months ago, it would have been entirely different.

Ottimo acquisto ,ho trovato il prodotto con le caratteristiche che cercavo ,avrei preferito un modello senza filo ma il mio impianto non sosteneva la modalità WIFI

Après quelques semaines de test, je poste mon avis sur ce produit... Il est bon au niveau de la spatialisation, les instruments sont bien représentées, les basses sont rondes et les aiguës non agressif et la voix intelligible. Le spectre est gardé et bien équilibré. Mais, parce quil y a un mais, jai comme limpression que la musique nest pas nette. Même avec des fichiers de bonnes qualité. Amateur de musiques douces comme agressives, il sonne parfois sur certaines musiques, comme voilé, parfois un peu brouillon. Je ne suis pas un habitué des casques ouverts mais je préfère les modèles fermé. Même si à volume convenable, dans un milieu peu bruyant on entend pas trop les sons extérieurs. Je dirai que ce casque nest pas mauvais et 100€ est une bonne offre lorsquelle est émise par amazon. Mais pour moi, ce nest pas un casque vraiment haut de gamme. Je préfère largement lAudio Technica ATH-M50 donc il est le concurrent.

Sounded good at low levels but had to return as left side had a pretty severe rattle at anything over half volume. I just got a bad pair i think and Im sure a good pair would be a really good set of headphones.
