Sennheiser HD 599 Special Edition, Open Back Headphone, Black – Exclusive to Amazon

Excellent sound quality, comfortable
£70 and very good. I can only compare with my Momentum 4s which were over triple the price. Sounds quality is on a par with the M4s wired up. Vs the M4s in bluetooth mode the 599s win.The 599s are very comfortable though, my ears don’t get clammy thanks to the open back design. There is of course sound leakage but its fine for my purposes. Do consider this if you want to listen without others hearing the residual sound too.Good quality item. Didn’t come with a case or bag, though.The sound gets better and better in the first couple of weeks. Pair this with a high-res sound source like Tidal and you’re winning.I listen to metal and like driving percussive tracks and the 599s have enough bass for my liking. I did need to increase the bass on my EQ though, out of the box they were a tad flat.

A Sound Investment
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.

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.

Öncelikle ben sıradan bir kullanıcıyım. Müzik dinlemeyi severim bitti bu kadar. İlk defa kulaküstü kaliteli denebilecek bir kulaklık aldım. Yorumlarda ses kartı gerekir diyordu tabi dedim onu da aldım. Bir müzik denedim bu ne ya dedim. Ben hayatımda ilk defa dinliyorum resmen. Aldığım ses kartı da ugreen, şekli şemali düzgün duruyordu diye seçtim yani. Kulaklığın ses seviyesi güzel. Ses yalıtımı pek yok onu da belirtmiş olayım.Sonuç olarak sıradan bir kullanıcı olan benim için (müzik üretmeyen diyelim) başarılı bir alışveriş oldu.

Well after falling in all the hype about combining a capable enough dsp dac amp with an open back headphone a person is propelled into a world of blissful surround sounds i decided to try this hands down once and for all.After about half an hour of burning the headphones in with some 24bit Flac songs i went ahead to test it.Played multiple songs and movies via the Walkman , X3 amp , Note 9 phone.First impressions:Build : The build quality is excellent, it’s all plastic that seems like it is made to last and keep it light for comfort. The mechanism also feels reliable.So 5/5Comfort:Very good , not fatigued after 1 hour , No unwarranted peaks in any frequencies.Its winters here in the north so it also doubled up as a scarf insulating my ears from the peircing cold.Sound isolation:Well what would one expect from an open back , it’s terrible.But it is what it is.You have to be alone and in a quite environment to listen to these.Sound will leak both ways.Package contents:Well the box that comes with it is unimpressive, it is a waste like soft cardboard box which is labeled as “frustration free” packaging, it’s all nonsense.If it was a good quality box one would use it to keep the headphones after use safely,and won’t throw it away.No i will have to purchase a headphone case adding more to the environmental damage.You get two cables one being a 6mm and one 3.5mm with a 6mm to3.5mm converter plug.Sennheiser took good care in that area.Sound :Well i come from using the following in order of magnitudeMost vintage models of Sony tape walkman headphones and earphonesMdr xb 60exMdr xb500Mdr xb 90exMdr xb 75ap ( Skull rattler )Mdr ex220Asus rog headsetXba H3 ( My personal favorite in all areas )Shure se 846 ( Skull breaker , My almost perfect set but gets beaten in High frequency department)As you can see there is only two over the ear headphones.Now i have always been disappointed by the music of over the head headphones due to lack of proper Isolation and driver limitations.Being my first open back This HD559 is no different to closed back in music department.Music coming out of it is unimpressive , you get almost no proper bass rumbles in the tracks that have them but maybe it’s my fault.(more on that later).The soundstage although quite good does not impress you enough to warrant the sacrifice in sound isolation and lower frequencies.Sometimes some songs get tinny and empty, sometimes they come out good but never great.Apart from that i maybe wrong with my eqs and settings i will update after a week of listening.Movies : WTFThis has blown all my in ear headphones far away , nothing comes close to the immersive theater like experience while pairing it with the X3 amp and switching on the xfi.You are instantly placed in a premium position of a proper dts tuned theater seat.All the action is all around you and dialog of the actors are clear and crisp even during intense explosions and gunfire.Things are properly imaged bodies dropping to the ground , bullets whirring past you thunders in the sky everything is represented perfectly.Imaging is more vertical than horizontal.Now the bass : While the music had no bass on it , on movies while on xfi turned on the bass reaches skull rattling levels without getting distorted or overlapping any other frequencies.It is unreal and brings a huge smile on your face and the only reason i did not return these back.The explosions shake you bullets fired seem real , thunders are near to being real.For movies this is the ultimate solution for me the END GAME so to say.Haven’t tested it yet on games but have heard quite a praise for them in that regard.Conclusion:These mysterious headphones struggle to pump up the proper bass notes on music but will pummel your head in movies.Maybe i am doing something wrong on my amp but i have tried to bring it on the music by various ways.The world shattering bass is there waiting to be unleashed but with mysterious ways.The mids are perfect for both Male and females all the frequencies are present and quite powerful.The highs are a bit laid back and roll off at the highest levels quite quickly , whenever you will need them desperately they will bail out on you.But overall they are fine.Is it worth the money ?.For movies absolutely. 100%For music MaybeFor games , haven’t tested yet but i am confident they will excel in that department.Very good product.Highly satisfied.
