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

Stellar perfection Need to be in a silent environment to appreciate the sound. Absolute Zero noise isolation. Everything leaks in. Very low bass response. However, Stellar sound reproduction beyond anything my budget could have allowed.

Exceptional audio quality! Great product!

I purchased these headphones myself, and I dont see what all the hype was about. I looked at multiple online reviews and they all stated that this is a very very good set of headphones. And dont give me wrong they are but I feel like they arent as good as other people are saying they are. One thing is for sure though, it lacks bass. Even with a base booster on in the EQ settings of my iPhone 6 I still didnt seem to get as much bass as I could have gotten with my EarPods. The sound quality is great, and even in higher volumes there is not much distortion, but theyre definitely not oh my god amazing sound.

very good

Its comfy, sleek, and sounds awesome! My favorite thing about these headphones is that I dont get headaches as easily with them.I prefer my music on the louder side and with previous headphones I would develop small headaches within an hour or two of listening. But with the Sennheisers I can listen to anything for long periods of time at pretty loud levels before I call it quits. I have Astro A40s which is my primary headset but Im honestly thinking of picking up a mod mic to make the Sennheiser my new daily driver.

CAVEAT: I am elderly and no longer have discriminating hearing over 2Kherz. I have used HD400s for a good many years to play computer games and privately listen to TV. Besides having excellent sound (as far as I can tell), those are comfortable enough to wear all day. But they are around $400 a pair. These new cans are just as comfortable, just as good (for me), but much cheaper.

not that ive had a ton of headphones but these are the best ones I ever had

One of the most comfortable I have ever tried on. The best purchases I have made so far. Pros: - Extremely comfortable, I have sensitive ears so I typically cant wear headphones for more than 3 hours. Ive worn these headphones for an entire day before. - You can practically fall asleep in these. - Lightweight - This special edition comes with a 3.5mm cable and larger cable - Great sound quality for the price Cons - these headphones are not as convenient to carry around, and there is no carrying case provided - these are open back headphones so people around you will hear your music if youre playing too loud

Great headphones. Comfy and well... great sound. You really can ear the particularities of real music instruments in an orchestra, every minute vibrations, *people coughing in the audience*, everything, hehehe. The only thing to note is that they are open headphones, which I didnt read correctly when I bought them. You hear everything around you. Your wife tells you to get out the trash, you wont have the excuse I couldnt hear you... So far I can keep em on my head for hours without noticing. Good buy!

Bought as a gift, he loved them.... sound is amazing, better than the big names!
