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

Fake!!!! The ID provided on the box cannot be identified by the website and the sound quality is not what I expected. No manuals or any other things in the box except the headphone and cable.

Very good headphones for the money, especially if you get it in an Amazon sale/deal. If bought at normal street price, one should consider other alternatives as well (AKG, Grado etc.).

These replace my 20 years old HD580. Superb sound, detail and natural and the bass is perfect. These are not has good has the HD800, but a 110$ CDN in special, they are a real bargain.

Let me start off by saying if any of you are thinking of getting the m50x by audio technica over these please read this. I own the m50x myself and these sennheiser 598s in both the closed and open back versions (598cs if interested in looking up the closed backs) I purchased the closed backs first on accident meant to get the open backs and didnt even realize they sold a closed back until I received them. I will say the closed backs sound just like the opens just a little, very little less soundstage, hard to notice at first but they are by far the best set of closed backs I have tried. I am blown away by both I havent touched my m50s since, I thought I was still going to use them for movies because everybody says they have better bass than the sennheisers what do you know people attached to brands rather than quality will believe they have a great product because of the name on it and what other people say about it. The m50s definitely have a place out there for something Im sure but if you arent sure you love them then try the sennheiser first you wont be disappointed. I have tried the open backs with music of course, gaming on Xbox one, and movies I give them 5 stars in all of those categories I think Im going to adventually get the 600 or 650 and sell off all of these sets I currently own.

Etwas zu leise in der Endlautstärke, aber guter Klang und sehr gute Passform. Möchte anmerken, dass ich der normale USER bin und keine gesteigerte Erwartung im Detail habe.

Exceptional audio quality! Great product!

Se adaptan perfectamente, suaves en el tacto y el sonido maravilloso. Viene con dos largos de cable, muy satisfecho con la compra.

Im gonna make my review simple. Pros: Great sound stage/imaging Clean sound Very comfortable/light Good build quality for the price Two cables included(short and long) 3.5 mm adapter included Cons: Highs are rolled off Bass rolled off Mids can sound forward and bright with certain types of music Distortion when driven at higher volumes with a headphone amp I would recommend the hd598 only for acoustic music And gaming(only for situational awareness because of the great sound staging and imaging) If you want an amazing value for the money I recommend the HIFIMAN HE -400S with the focus pad As. A little less sounds stage but more accurate and more focused imaging. Highs and bass on the HIFIMAN are nothing short of amazing for the price. Its a night and day difference vs the 598!

Amazing sound. Super comfortable. Fashionable both forwards and backwards.

very good
