HD 599 SE Open-Back, Wired Over Ear Headphones, Premium Design, Natural Balanced Audio, Comfortable Fit for Music, Gaming, School, Work, Black

I have been using sennheiser headphones since the 80s and it's good to see that the quality has not diminished. The hd 599 se headphones that I received today are really comfortable to wear, the sound quality is excellent, the build is very nice, two interchangeable power cords one long and one shorter. Also the overall design is very cool looking.

First off, I bought these in the Amazon Prime Day sales for £70 which is a total bargain. I would not consider myself an audiophile and if you are then you will probably want to invest more money into your headphones but the quality on these should suit most people. Very clear sound and I've picked up sound that I've never heard before on tracks I listen to often. I found these when looking for open backed headphones, partly because I want to be aware of my surroundings when I'm wearing them and partly so they don't make my ears feel as hot as my older headphones. Another benefit was that they feel more like listening to speakers rather than just being blasted into my ears but that could be personal preference. The open backed nature does mean there is sound leakage, both for you hearing external sound but also others being able to hear your music, so that's something you will need to consider for your usage. Very comfortable to wear for longer periods of time partially due to being lightweight though maybe not as portable as folding headphones would be but I don't need that. Very easy to use, no controls on the headphones so controlled completely through whatever you plug them into. In the box you get a 1.2m cable with a 3.5mm jack plug and a 3m cable with a 6.3mm jack plug, however there is also a 6.3mm to 3.5mm adapter included so you can still use the longer cable with devices that have a 3.5mm socket. The adapter makes the plug quite long so maybe not a great solution if you intend to use it with a portable device like a phone. The leads have a twist and lock mechanism to secure them into the headphones which is fantastic but you will need to be aware of that if you intend to swap over to the 3m cable. Overall, with the considerations I've given above, I would fully recommend these headphones for people wanting wired open back headphones without paying hundreds of pounds. Especially great value if you can pick them up on sale.

The Sennheiser HD 599 Special Edition, which you can only find on Amazon (New anyway, other marketplaces have used versions but you can never be sure of the condition they'll arrive in), has an open-back design that's super comfy and fits over your ears really well. These headphones are all about delivering great sound, and you’re going to notice the detail in every tune you play. With a wide frequency range, from a low 12 Hz all the way up to 38,500 Hz, these headphones do a fantastic job of capturing everything from the rumble of bass to the clarity of treble, making them a good choice whether you're into classical, jazz, or acoustic music. When it comes to sound quality, they really shine. It provides a natural and balanced sound that makes you feel like you’re right there in the studio or concert hall. The open-back design means you get a really open and wide soundstage, which makes listening feel more immersive. You’ll hear the bass, but it’s not going to knock you over, which suits genres like classical music and jazz quite well. But if you’re someone who loves deep, booming bass, you might find these headphones a bit lacking in that area. Now, let’s talk comfort and how these headphones are built. Weighing just 250 grams, they’re nice and light, perfect for those longer listening sessions when you just want to enjoy your music without any discomfort. The velvety ear pads and well-padded headband really do make a difference in how they feel when you wear them. They feel solid overall, though they’re made from plastic, which keeps them light but still durable enough for everyday use. You also get two detachable cables with these headphones: a longer 3-meter cable with a 6.3mm jack and a shorter 1.2-meter cable with a 3.5mm jack. This means you can easily hook them up to different devices. The design itself has a sleek black finish that really stands out, especially as a unique spin on the original models, which had a more classic ivory and brown look. While the open-back design does a great job of making the sound feel vast and engaging, just keep in mind that it does allow sound to leak out, so if you’re in a noisy spot, you might not get the full experience. Plus, without any folding hinges or a carrying case, you might find these less convenient to take with you on the go. Here are some quick pros and cons for easy consideration: **Pros:** - The sound is natural and balanced, making it enjoyable for a range of music. - The open-back design creates that spacious soundstage. - They’re lightweight and comfortable, perfect for those extended sessions. - You have detachable cables to match your device needs. - The black finish gives a nice modern look that you won’t find everywhere. **Cons:** - If you're into really heavy bass, you might find these a bit underwhelming. - With the open-back design, you will experience some sound leakage and won’t get much noise isolation. - They don’t have features that make them easy to carry around, like folding hinges or a case. To wrap it up, they are a solid pick if you value a balanced sound and enjoy that spacious listening vibe. They’re very comfy for long listening sessions and look sharp, too. But keep in mind that they might not be the best choice if you’re in a noisy place or really craving those thumping bass lines.

The best headphones I have ever owned. Comfortable for prolonged use and great quality sound too. The padding failed after 2 years of use, so I bought a new set of the same model while I find replacement pads. Genuine Sennheiser pads are hard to find. I like the way the cable plugs into the headset and twists to lock into place. I also like the choice of cables included, that allows me to use the shorter cable to plug into my computer. The pass through sound means I can hear activity around me when I wear these, walking to the village shops. Great value for money when on sale.

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.

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 and 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. And once boosted there is PLENTY of tight, full, satisfying bass that is still controlled and not booming. 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. 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. 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 experienced 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.

Comfortable but has no sound stage at all (just simple stereo headphones) which is what I was hoping it would be better at. Physical quality feels good, sound quality is average. I think the tech inside may be old.
