Sennheiser HD 599 - Open Headphones, Special Edition, Black, Wired

My friend has been raving about his open-ear Sennheisers for years, so when I decided to get back into playing music I decided to take the plunge. These are great -- comfortable even for me, a man with a very large head and big ears. The sound quality is great and you can still hear your surroundings. Obviously you wouldn't want to use these in a noisy area, and you also wouldn't want to use them in a very quiet space around other people. It's a pricey buy but worth the splurge.

This is just an HD599 but cheaper, that's simply the best way to put it. A full price HD599 may not be worth it because it has relatively mediocre audio for $200, especially when the HD 560S exists, but for $130? Absolutely worth it. These headphones have a very solid but not overbearing clamp force, so as you can imagine they're very comfortable and stable on the head. With an impedence of just 50 ohms, you should easily be able to plug it in to just about anything and get great audio. They aren't especially large, so you could probably get a decently small case for them and take them wherever you want. Bass is slightly muffled but thumpy, mids are beautifully clear, and treble is clear but not piercing to listen to. Audio profile is warm and fun, rather than cold and analytical.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Was looking to replace my Audio Technica m20x which was aging, and starting to become worn down. Mostly a choice between these and the m50x, and decided to go with a different brand. Looking like I made the correct choice on the 599s. Lightweight, removable cord, nice and comfortable over-ear cups. First 'major brand' type of headphones I've owned and highly believe they're worth picking up. Functionality: The bass is great, the first game I had opened and tried with the 599s' was Left 4 Dead 2 on the Chainsaw Massacre mutation. The idling of the chainsaw was a deeper hum, and when actually using it- the sound was a tad muddy but hardly noticeable to begin with.

Great sound quality, truly is top notch. The only issue with these headphones though is the noise bleed. It is crazy how much my microphone can pick up from this things, but just use Nvidia Broadcast and you should be good!

When i first got them i was confused about the sound, mostly was neutral and drowned, so i did some research and had an EQ change it's audio, from there on out i got to actually use their whole great audio quality. Build wise, doesn't feel cheap, feels durable ngl, just of course don't be careless with them, ease of the cable and taking it in or out was alright, just confused at the start, actually good thing they have a rotation thing to make the cable stay really firm and plugged to the headphones, another good thing since i stay in long session listening to music is that i don't get lightheaded since they're open back, airflow from there is good. Going back to the audio, most noticeable thing about it is the soundstage, really great, literally hearing where all the instruments and surroundings are coming from, it's nice like really really nice, that's mostly what i can say about them, been using them for more than a month now and they're good for the price i bought them for.

I live in an apartment, and got these so I could play my Yamaha digital piano without generating complaints from neighbors. I enjoy the aural experience that headphones can provide, but in the past have found most uncomfortable to wear for any length of time, due to the pressure and heat buildup. These are open-back with cushy ear cups and a very adjustable headband, which largely eliminates discomfort and sweaty ears. I was skeptical of the skinny little cable but the sound quality is immense. You can also unplug the cable from the phones themselves, and can switch out mini 1/8 and standard 1/4 plugs, which are both included. Between the comfort level of these and the surprising dimensions of the virtual sound stage they create, it's like I'm not even wearing headphones. Plus with the open backs, I can hear the dog bark or the phone ring. So while I appreciate getting lost in the music, I like that I'm still very connected to my outer environment in an immediate, unmuffled way.

bought it used (mistake). right ear blew out and stopped working 7 months into owning. sound quality is decent, like 8/10 and value was fairly worth it but them breaking after less than a year is a no go... learn from me, dont buy used.

I had a friend recommend these to me telling me it was like wearing a pair of clouds. I was doubtful, but these absolutely deliver. I love the open design, which allows me to hear what's going on in the room while still using the headphones themselves. I'm not a fan of air pods or anything that goes in the ear canal so these were a perfect fit. The open air design also allows your ears to breathe so you're not sweating, and the material is soft... I've literally bought three pairs of these and gifted them to other friends to spread the word.

Nach einem Jahr im Einsatz kann ich diesen Kopfhörern eine sehr gute Bewertung geben. Sie sind auch im Dauereinsatz sehr bequem zu tragen und zeichnen sich durch einen sehr guten Klang sowohl im Gaming als auch bei Musik und Filmen aus. Außerdem sind sie solide verarbeitet, auch wenn es bei dem Preis halt viel Plastik und keine Premiummaterialien sind. Dazu kann er auch ohne DAC sehr gut am Mainboard des PCs betrieben werden. Mit DAC sind die Kopfhörer fast ein wenig zu laut. Wer diesen Kopfhörer im Angebot kauft, der wird denke ich damit sehr glücklich werden.

First time purchasing outside of budget earbuds and disposable earphones ,these are a whole new experience and recommend everyone to get a pair

No sé a que vienen las críticas negativas por parte de algunos clientes y usuarios de YouTube. Si lo que esperaban es el sonido de unos de gama alta, pues entonces no es para ellos. Tienen un sonido claro para no ser neutrales del todo no son para a los que les gustan unos fuertes graves o agudos a los que están acostumbrados de otras marcas que los exageran. Con este tipo de auriculares podrás escuchar matices que no habrás oído nunca, los cuáles están enmascarados. Yo poseo unos AKG K-240 MKII estudio también de sonido neutral (Sé que su precio es bastante inferior) Y aunque también reproducen muy bien el sonido tienen el problema de que por su impedancia 55 Ohms necesita un apoyo para que suenen con gran potencia, cosa que no ocurre con estos SENNHEISER HD 599SE con sus 50 ya se escuchan bastante fuertes. El AKG trabaja en unas frecuencias entre 15-25000 Hz y los SENNHEISER 12- 38500 Hz. Por la comodidad pues los dos son lo bastante cómodos ya que están construidos en materiales de plástico de calidad por lo que pesan poco AKG 240grs. SENNHEISER 250grm. El diseño de los SENNHEISER ayudan a que el sonido se envuelva y vaya más directo a los oídos. Los dos vienen con dos cables desmontables con diferentes tipos de jack aunque el AKG le conexión al mismo es con entrada mini XLR por lo que si en un futuro tienes algún problema es más difícil de encontrar. El SENNHEISER solo trae las almohadillas que vienen montadas en material aterciopelado muy buenas al tacto también te cubren las orejas en su totalidad tambiénayuda su diseño (Existe recambio). Los AKG traen dos tipos unos en piel sintética que ayudan a producir sudor y otras aterciopelada estas no cubren en totalidad las orejas por su diseño circular distintos a los SENNHEISER que son avaladas. Debemos de tener muy en cuenta que los dos son auriculares no cerrados por lo que sale sonido al exterior y también entra sonido también del exterior (Aconsejo utilizarlos en el interior) Por lo que ayudan a reducir la fatiga y se pueda estar más tiempo utilizándolos. Si puedes esperar a que Amazon tenga en oferta los SENNHEISER te saldrán algo más económicos que los AKG y en verdad os digo que merece la pena. Yo los he comprado a 79,99 € cuando su precio oscila en cualquier tienda a 170. Los AKG por su parte tienen un precio de 77 € Espero que mi reseña os ayuden.

Having owned the Sony WH1000XM6 and also the Sennheiser Momentum 4's, I can say these cans are superb! But that needs some explanation. There is no app (I'm aware of at least) for these, as with the Momentum 4's. They are not "fancy"- but are incredibly comfy! I wear 2 "behind the ear" hearing aids and often readers too and I can wear these all day. Because the pads are so large an d the way they are angled, means that for the FIRST time - ever - I can turn up my hearing aids without constant squealing in my ears! Is that extra volume impacting my sense of the sound? Probably. But that IS still the point because these are thus far - the only cans I am able to do this with. So, it IS the headphones. Then there is the mid-range clarity and highs - WOW! Out of the box these are not as "bass-forward" as the XM6's - but with either an EQ on your phone, tablet or external DAC, they can be, without being muddy or thumpy. I am running a $58 small AIYIMA DAC that sounds phenomenal with these cans. Listening to "No Easy Way Out" (Robert Tepper from "Rocky IV") sounds incredible! The opening bass/drum section sounds full, tight, dynamic. "Africa" and "Hold the Line" by Toto have never sounded better to my ears. The bass is full, warm and tight - and it can be adjusted more or less. Trebles have excellent clarity without being harsh. I got these on sale and unless the HD600 line *truly* blows these away - maybe so - why pay more? "I'm In A Hurry" by Alabama, it’s opening vocal intro sounds amazing. "500 Miles" by the Proclaimers when the bass and drum "kick in" (sorry), sound incredible! I can go on and on. "Everything I Do" by Bryan Adams or “God Bless the Broken Road" by Rascal Flatts sound pristine, clear, rich, balanced and nuanced...my favorite instrumental music with piano / cello and acoustic guitar sound remarkable. Even more so - to my surprise - on You Tube. Playing games on my PC is a new experience - especially in the ability to hear "directional" sounds etc. I have never heard the grunts in Halo Infinite as good as I do with these on...the XM6's have more "punch" in the sounds of guns, explosions, but don't have the clarity or directional element as these do. Having now experience this difference, I MUCH prefer it! Dolby Atmos tracks in Movies on Apple TV, Prime, Netflix sound detailed, rich, balanced, warm. These are my first experience in the "open back" headphone field and I can honestly say, I AM impressed! IF - just saying IF I return these, it will ONLY be to experience an even higher level of "audiophile" sound in the HD600 series. Seriously - if GOOD SOUND quality really matters to you at your desk, in your room, or office where you will not disturb others around you with the sound "bleed" that comes from the open backs, you owe it to yourself to try these! I prefer these in every way to my XM6's and paid approx 1/3rd the price for them! Sure, they do not have ANC - but who buys open back headphones for that feature?

Sennheiser é sempre um produto de alta qualidade. Pode comprar.
