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

i got these on a deal for 95, these are supposedly comparable to the offwhite 598s, i heard so many great things about the off white cans. I also own the 558s. I dont write immediate reviews, I have had both pairs now or over a year. There is not a huge difference between these and the 558s especially when it comes to the soundstage. For price points it was worth the 95 bux, but if you can find the 558s for under 100, get those instead.

Ce casque est très confortable. Il est livré avec deux câbles. Il procure un son neutre. Jadore mais il peut paraître un peu terne pour dautres.

セールで購入 音質、つけ心地ともに最高です セール終了後HD599が発表されましたがデザインがイマイチだったのでこちらにして正解だった

In the past 2 weeks, I have returned 2 pairs of headphones because of comfort issues. In one night, before any burn-in, I am incredibly excited about these. The sound is fantastic and the comfort is amazing. They are light and fit completely over my (rather large) ears. I am dancing in my chair while listening to these... I dont know what else to say. They are worth a try!

Anche qui Sennheiser fa sentire il suo peso. Laudio è spettcolare forse lievemente carente di profondità nei toni bassi, ma veramente molto poco carente. La cosa che mi ha maggiormente colpito è lisolamento dia rumori esterni: indossando le cuffie i rumori ambientali si sentono quasi del tutto distintamente, accendendo la musica e regolando su un volume medio basso improvvisamente spariscono del tutto e si rimane avvolti dal suono riprodotto in aniera sublime. Materiali di costruzione sia della cuffia che del cavo assolutamente degni di nota. Assolutamente consigliato lacquisto.

Absolutely amazing. 10/10. Got them on sale for when they were around 100 dollars. No regrets. Sound quality is amazing and so is the comfort. 10/10 must buy

Great product. Im particularly impressed by hoe comfortable these have proven to be.

I wanted headphones that I could wear for hours with comfort, that would deliver high-quality audio that would put me in a good mood while working at home. I have been using these for 4 years, and I frequently sit with these headphones on for 4-6 hours and work with no pain. The soundstage makes it seem like Kurt Cobain is playing unplugged in my office. I do recommend buying at least a small amplifier if you want to listen to your music loud. I ended up getting a small FIIO unit that has been going strong for 4 years. It gives the bass an extra punch and lets me jam to big rock ballads when I want to. I still recommend these to friends and if you are reading this, buy them! Also, note though, these are the opposite of noise canceling. You can hear what is going on around you, and your music will be audible to others around you.

Real Pro Headset on a Black Friday..and the deals is the Price..got at Amazon US price in India. Just US$90 Sound stage is all about this headset. I always dreamed of having a Studio Quality headset and never had been this good price to get one

The Sennheiser HD 598 Special Edition Over-Ear Headphones are only slightly different than the normal Sennheiser HD 598 headphones. The difference is mainly aesthetic. Just like the HD 598, the SE comes with a padded leatherette headband and luxurious velour covered eardrums pads appropriate for longer listening sessions. A difference is you also get two cable options: 3m and 1.2m and you get a 3.5mm adapter plug. The only other minor difference I could find is the HD 598 SE weigh slightly more than the HD 598s, about 21 grams. The HD 598 series allows you to rewire them should the cable need replacement. Be sure you know what you are getting. These have open backed ear cups for an open soundstage. That means these are for indoor usage and not for humid outside air. That also means they dont attenuate background sounds and they dont isolate. You will hear the background and the people around you will hear what you are listening to. In other words, these are meant for a certain listening environment. These are not for use on an airplane. The frequency response is flat until you hit the very high end, like 15 kHz. The sound is neutral, not warm. Balance is exceptional, or at least much better than what I have now. There is very little to no distortion until you hit 110dB, and you shouldnt be listening at high volume. From Sennheiser, These headphones also incorporate a special diaphragm geometry that minimizes intermodulation distortion while delivering an impressive frequency response range, plus a highly constant compressed cellulose fleece to hold harmonic distortion to less than 0.1%. I like bass but Sennheiser does a good job of making the bass clear and not overpowered on these. Highs and mids are also very clear, especially when listening to high quality uncompressed sources. One of the big things I look for is comfort. Some headphones leave me needing a painkiller after half an hour of usage. These are quite comfy for extended wear. From the manufacturer, Sennheiser recommends this headphone for music lovers who are passionate about sound quality wanting extreme comfort during long listening sessions. Wrapping up this review, I would like to say that I am really impressed with these cans. Sound quality and comfort are the main attraction to the HD 598 SE headphones. I would also give them high marks for durability. Be sure you understand the lack of noise isolation inherent to this design before purchasing.
