Reviews around value (5.00 of 5)

  • I think these sound great and are a great value for the money.
  • These are not great for bass heads, or those who enjoy the "V" sound (high bass, high treble, less mids, for music like rock and hip hop)
  • I had a pair of beyerdynamic 990s for a few days and as nice as those were, they were not as comfortable as these headphones.

Reviews around balance (5.00 of 5)

  • It also has a clearer balanced sound compared to Razer Kraken Pro headset
  • The felt ear pads make a very big difference from leather ones, and provide the perfect balance between pressure and softness
  • The balance between bass and clarity in the highs is important to me
  • I had a pair of beyerdynamic 990s for a few days and as nice as those were, they were not as comfortable as these headphones.

Reviews around bite (5.00 of 5)

  • The 559s are slightly less fatiguing, but the 579s offer a bit more if you like your treble
  • Connected to an iPad or cell phone, they sound a bit bright in the mid treble area and they are lacking somewhat in bass impact
  • However, the treble is a fair bit brighter than the 558s ever were

Reviews around hd (5.00 of 5)

  • I have had and enjoyed the Sennheiser HD 598se and 598cs
  • The HD 579's are much more versatile than anything else I've owned to date
  • First thing, I must correct a misstatement in an earlier review - the HD 579 are NOT noise cancellation headphones

Reviews around set (4.16 of 5)

  • Not good if you are in a loud setting.
  • Over all, these are great headphones and are a good set to go with if you are wanting to slowly make your way into the audiophile world
  • I'd argue that with a nice set of headphones like this, that would be a waste anyways as it would drown out the rest of the sound frequencies to have extreme bass
  • This is one of the best set of headphones I have ever owned
  • Anyone who tells you that the 599s and the 579s sound alike either didn't listen close enough or didn't try them with a large enough set of songs

Reviews around sennheiser (3.44 of 5)

  • Having bought a cheaper Sennheiser some years back, and still works fine, I bought this HD579 unit recently
  • Asus Ceberus gaming headset and a cheap Sennheiser headphone a long time
  • Honestly, I have wanted a pair of good Sennheiser headphones for years, but I couldn't justify it to
  • The treble is rolled back at the highest frequencies which gives these cans the classic "Sennheiser sound"
  • I recommand these headphones solely on how they sound, with the understanding of the cheap construction Sennheiser used.
