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

En general son unos auriculares de calidad media-alta que llaman la atención a simple vista por su diseño. Son increíblemente cómodos y se nota que son de primera calidad. Son unos auriculares bastante grandes, acoplándose perfectamente a la zona de la oreja. La diadema está compuesta por un marco de metal y un acolchado de polipiel ligero pero robusto, con unas almohadillas acolchadas cubiertas de terciopelo. Sinceramente he pasado bastante horas con ellos puesto y no he sentido ninguna fatiga con ellos. Son tremendamente cómodos. Los auriculares tiene un diseño abierto, no están diseñados para aislarse, lo que significa que hay un espacio por el que aire puede pasar por el acolchado. Este tipo de auriculares tienen menos resonancia y consiguen un sonido más natural que los de sistema cerrado. Por el contrario, al ser de diseño abierto, no están pensado para usarlos cerca de gente, pues lo que escuches tu también lo podrá escuchar el que esté cerca tuya. No están diseñados para ser portátiles, son voluminosos y no se pueden plegar como otros modelos aunque no llegan a ser tan grandes como algunos de los modelos de gama alta de la misma serie Lo que a sonido se refiere que es lo realmente importante, os puedo decir que no puedo estar más contento. Ofrecen un sonido muy natural , las voces son espectaculares como se escuchan, los solos son muy detallados y los agudos no se quedan atrás, pero por poner una pega diría que los bajos no son su fuerte, pero aun así se complementan perfectamente el resto de sonidos. No son unos auriculares para todo tipo de música pero en lineas generales se adaptaran perfectamente y podréis disfrutar plenamente con ellos. Cuentan con un cable unilateral de 3m desmontable , con un conector de 6.3mm chapado en oro y un adaptador de 3.5mm. Son unos muy buenos auriculares por el precio que tienen. Son muy cómodos de utilizar por horas, y suenan excelente con la mayoría de las pistas.

The headphones are really amazing. I never expected to hear such sounds, its incredible clear and clean sound. There are no very advanced effects which is what every audiophile would want - the real sound. They are also absolutely very comfortable to wear for long time, there is no pressure, no bad feeling or any hurt while wearing them. The only little negative is that they are not completely silent for others, I mean that people around can hear a little bit what you listen. Also would be perfect if there was a box to carry and store them.

Sound quality is good, but on the first pair the cord stopped working and had to have Amazon refund, and now on the second pair the plastic headband has cracked after a week of use. Poorly made it seems.

Upgraded from Creative Fatality headset to these. What an amazing difference in audio. Never knew how much I was missing. Granted these dont have a microphone, but I have moved to a different setup for that. Very glad I made this purchase.

I was not sure about the closed or open headphones. Decided on the open special edition. Excellent sound and overall quality. Material of ear cups may be better quality on the closed set.

The sound is good but the connecting wire is too long and gets tangled up in small spaces like an airplane seat. Also the sound is not entirely contained to the ears. Even on a medium level the person sitting near can also hear whats being played through the headset.

Lovely quality and comfortable earphones. Great bass sounds.

Can hear super well in CS;GO and Overwatch; better than any gaming headset I use to have and better than my Bose QC25s since this is an open soundstage vs closed. The quality of the open sound stage does come at the cost of audio leakage; but its worth it if you are in a quiet room by yourself. A noisy room and you may be better off with closed sound stage to block out background noise and hear the game. Music has never sounded better. Once again, I think it sounds better than my Bose QC25s (with the boost turned on - just in case i sound bias, the QC25s are more for plane rides and eliminating background noise at work.)

The best headphones I ever got. If they ever get on sale again I will definitely buy a another pair.

I bought these in 2016,and they have been in daily(well,almost daily) use since the spring of 16. I have had no issues. The sound is concert quality and for the price,the value is there. 4 years, listen to mostly live and bootlegged stuff,and these Sennheisers are still going strong. For the money,i dont see anybody beating these headphones. I had to buy a connector, due to my pulling the phones out of the slot on the computer at an awkward angle. Amazon had it,and a plethora of other Sennheiser accessories.
