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

Got them at boxing day from CAN115$ Awesome value. Best cans I ever bought. I own Senheisser HD555 and some high-end Denon but those are the best. They leak sound alot though. Not good for the office.

Really nice cans. They are easily driven by my portable audio devices. Not quite up to my HD650s, but they are 1/2 the price. Great value.

セール中だったのHD598　SEを購入しました。プリンの色違いです。まず箱を開けてみると上に潰れた虫が混入してました。（虫も呼びつけるくらいの素晴らしい音質なのか…？と期待膨らむ）そして一週間もしないうちに左側の幅調の部分がいきなり緩んで長さ調整が全く使えません。セールが終わってしまったため交換は出来ず、差額もあり返品対応か差額分含め購入となり面倒くさいのでこのまま不快な気持ちのまま使ってみたいと思います。

One of the most comfortable headphones Ive worn. I can wear them for hours without any comfort issues. Im using the shorter cable connected to my computer monitor. Its not an audiophile setup, but even so the headphones sound great to me. I like the fact that theyre open circumaural so that I can still hear whats going around me if I keep the volume low. Im glad Amazon sells the all black Special Editions as I was eyeing the 598 for a while, but didnt like the original color. Ive never had problems with my other Sennheiser products so Im looking forward to many years of listening with these.

Great sound, have never owned a set of Sennheisers before. Always gave them away as gifts. Decided to keep a set . . . reminded me of my old liquid filled Koss headphones with the low pounding base frequencies which was the cause of my hearing loss in the 70s! Loved it!! These headphone ear pieces are comfortable at first but after a couple of hours, they do get annoyingly heavy causing some achiness on the ears. Perhaps some liquid filled ear pieces . . . might help? Or maybe Im just older and perhaps more sensitive to discomfort near the ears. But I do like the sound!!

Had these headphones for a few months now and ive been pretty disappointed with them. Lots of people praise their audio clarity, which I can agree with. They do sound good. nice and clear, but only at moderate and safe volumes. Cranking the headphones up to a higher volume will result in a LOT of distortion and crackling. I absolutely DO NOT RECOMMEND THESE FOR GAMING, METAL, or HEAVY BASS music. The bass is nearly nonexistent. Youll need some type of AMP to even power these headphones to a respectable volume if you were to be using them through a phone, mobile device, game console, or MP3 player. Without one the volume would be on the low end. On a high note, these headphones are quite comfortable and lightweight. Youll forget you even have them on. However,, but dont count on them being very durable as they are made entirely out of a thin plastic.

Love it!

Sounds amazing to my ears.

La acústica es de primera. No son baratos. Pero valen su precio. El ángulo del driver, la calidad del mismo, más el que sean abiertos la de un sonido muy bueno. Muy buen efecto de escenario. Me gustan más que los Beats Solo que también tengo. Eso sí, no son para reproductores portátiles (se escuchan bien, pero nada extraordinario). Por su impedancia (se requiere para lograr esta alta calidad en el sonido), necesita un amplificador de mayor potencia. ideal para conectarlos a un receptor de audio de alta calidad. Excelentes para escuchar archivos de música de alta resolución como flac o wav. Tienen un rango acústico muy amplio y muy buena nitidez de sonido (siempre y cuando se usen con el reproductor de audio adecuado). Estoy muy contento con ellos. Desde que los tengo no he vuelto a buscar otros.

Comme tous les sennheiser, ce casque est très efficace et confortable. De plus le cable est interchangeable entre Jack mini et Jack standard. Peut être un peu trop de basses à mon gout.
