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

I purchased these for my husband so he could use them while working and during exercise. They work great for cancelling out noise! The reason for 3 stars- The part that goes around the ear is foam so they absorb sweat. The plugin has a large attachment that plugs into your phone. Its not ideal but workable. My husband needs to remove his phone case every time he wants to plug them in bc the jack is large. If you dont plan to sweat while using these theyll be just the headphones for you.

buona fattura ma acusticamente prodotto non hi fi... francamente ho un buon impianto stereo e il confronto nn esiste proprio...ho letto recensioni su internet assurde...basso troppo presente e fastidioso medio opaco...medioalto molto buono ma salendo peggiora nuovamente... in sostanza per amatori e non pretenziosi va benissimo..chi ha un po di orecchio e non ascolta mp3 magari da discoteca assolutamente non adeguato

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!!

Extremely robust - it can deal with my human tsunami* level of clumsiness. Excellent sound quality - it will show up any part of the device chain that is not as high a quality. Burn-in only took a few hours. Rich bass, driving mids, clear top end. Open back , so it can be heard very easily by others, so keep in mind if noise is an issue. *Genuine quote from an ex-flatmate.

Top of the line. Im not professional, but Im very satisfied with the sound from it

These are pretty underwhelming for reference headphones at this price. Theyre muddy on the bass, a bit vacant in the mids, and sometimes a bit harsh on the highs. They sound like Sennheiser are trying to push the range of frequencies too far. Physically theyre comfy and lightweight, and the detachable and swappable cable with the lock notch is a nice touch. Reasonable build quality, though Im never a fan of plastic headbands. To be honest, I spent the same amount on a pair of AKG K550 reference headphones and found them to be a lot better.

Le confort et le son produit par le casque sont dexcellente facture. Ce casque est à utiliser sans modération. De plus il est livré avec deux câbles.

great sound, extremely comfortable.

Upgraded from my old Sennheiser 485s. I wanted to test and expected to have to really focus to hear a difference, but it was night and day. Punchier bass than the 485s and much clearer sound. Instant keeper.

My son loves these headphones. Fabulous sound. Bought for Christmas present and still amazing. Really happy as he is quite fussy about the sound from his headphones.
