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

Queste cuffie hanno pienamente soddisfatto le mie aspettative. Premetto che questo è stato il mio primo passo nel mondo delle cuffie di qualità, un mondo decisamente vasto e caro. Avendo il timore di non avere abbastanza orecchio ed esperienza per poter valutare simili prodotti e quindi di buttare via del denaro, non mi ero mai deciso allaquisto. Poi ho trovato un offerta per questo prodotto , devo dire che valgono ogni euro speso e ne sono parecchio felice . Lunico consiglio che mi sento di fornire e quello di utilizzare queste cuffie con una scheda audio decente e ascoltando MP3 di qualità , meglio se Flac. Buon ascolto a tutti.

I recently purchased the HD 598 Cs closed back headphones and was very happy with the sound quality, but wanted to see what the open back headphone craze was all about. The HD 598 SE is absolutely the best set of headphones Ive ever bought. I am (almost) upset to discover how much Ive been missing out on for so long. These headphones definitely take the sound quality up to a whole new level. I now understand what having a wide sound stage is like and the overall clarity of these headphones is a noticeable improvement over the HD 598 Cs. That said, the HD 598 Cs is somewhat punchier with the bass, but the HD 598 SE is definitely smoother and more enjoyable to listen to. Listening to all my favorite music with my Tidal HiFi subscription is total ear candy. When it comes to gaming, the wide sound stage allows for spot-on positional audio in multiplayer FPS games. Locating enemies by sound in CS:GO and Battlefield 1 gives a good heads-up and almost feels like cheating at times. Judging by other reviews and what people say on various forums, I was worried that Id be out of luck without a dedicated headphone amp. That simply isnt the case here. My X-Fi Titanium PCIe sound card drives these cans with no issues whatsoever through my cases front panel jack. I wouldnt be surprised to see a slight sound quality improvement with an external DAC & amp though. The HD 598 SE is perfect for use in the privacy of your own home where the sound leakage from the open back design wont be an issue. If privacy and sound leakage are a concern, the HD 598 Cs is a great alternative. Update 2/28/17: I decided to buy an external DAC & headphone amp, the Schiit Fulla 2, and Ive been using it for a few days now. Although my X-Fi was able to drive these cans good enough, the Fulla 2 is able to squeeze just a bit more clarity and punch out of my HD 598. Nothing major, the differences are subtle for the most part. The HD 598 definitely opens up some when you crank the juice up a bit. If you have the extra cash, I definitely recommend a quality headphone amp for use with the HD 598. Update 1/5/2019: These headphones are still going strong and holding their own against several other headphone purchases Ive made over the past couple years. I am now using them with a Schiit Modi Multibit DAC & Magni 3 amp, which is a significantly cleaner and more powerful setup than the Fulla 2 I used previously. These headphones fail to disappoint and still get a good amount of use for music & gaming alongside the HD660S and Fostex TH-X00 Ebony.

These have gotten a lot of five-star reviews, and its easy to see why. Theyve got a lot going for them. Depending on your personal needs, they might very well earn those five stars. They also might not be what youre looking for at this price point. I recently had the pleasure of reviewing Philips A5PRO, and I also have an old Sennheiser PC150 set lying around. These hit both ends of the price spectrum and were used to compare sound quality. Ive always been impressed by Sennheisers quality. My PC150s are 9 years old and still sound great. The HD598s are better but only slightly, and Im not sure I should be able to say that about headphones that cost $100+ more than they did. They are no match for the A5PROs; noise-canceling makes a big difference, which the HD598s do not have. Where the Sennheiser HD598 stands out is in their comfort. I get head/ear fatigue quite fast with most models of headphones and avoided them for years due to this problem. These are so light I can wear them for hours and hours without any discomfort at all. I feel like this should be the main consideration for these headphones. Ive never worn a pair more comfortable than these. Theres not much more I can say about these. Theyre great headphones, but that claim comes with a few caveats. If you wear headphones for long periods at a time or deal with head and ear pain because of them, I recommend this pair. If youre just looking for decent audio at a reasonable price, Sennheiser offers much cheaper headphones of a slightly lesser quality. And if youre looking for top of the line audio at a lower price point, you wont find it here.

Très bon casque en HiFi comme en nomade. Attention à vérifier si la sortie de votre appareil portable est suffisamment puissante pour une utilisation optimale du casque. Léger, robuste et agréable à porter avec ses coussinets en velours. Deux câble de très bonnes qualité (semi-rigides), un d1m20 et lautre de 3m, ainsi quun adaptateur mini-jack pour le câble de 3m sont inclis dans la boîte. Ce qui me mène à parler dun point faible : pas de câble micro.

Amazing for the price

Mise à jour 14/12/2016 HD-598 SE: Ce casque est décevant: le son est mauvais dans les basses. Il est sourd et manque de finesse! Passez votre chemin! Il est trop cher pour ce niveau de qualité! HD-598 CS: Ce casque fermé manque carrément de basses. Le son est plus clair que le HD-598 SE mais les basses sont vraiment absentes des voix. Le son est comme filtré, comme sil sortait dune boite en carton. Cest très décevant! Je lai renvoyé à Amazon. Jai comparé attentivement ces 2 casques avec mon autre casque Sennheiser HD-558 (que je lutilise depuis plus de 6 mois au moins 30h par semaine à titre professionnel) Le HD-558 est excellent et coûte environ 100 euros et le spectre sonore est bien respecté (autant dans les basses quand dans les aiguës). Si vous navez pas de bon casque, investissez plutôt dans le HD-558: http://amzn.to/2gTythC Si vous avez reçu le HD-598 en cadeau, revendez-le!

Très bon écouteur pour music je vous les recommande

happy with purchase

These are an amazing improvement on the £40 pair I had before. Worth every penny and then some.

Wonderful headphones, supremely comfortable. Never get warm ears, and can hear whats going on around me, because of the open back (which I like). Soundstage is great, too - I use them for gaming and music, and I can hear details like location of footsteps in the games very well. Leather is synthetic, which I appreciate in regards to animal rights.
