    Sennheiser HD 598 SR Open-Back Headphone

    • Noise isolation is the right amount, and the microphone on the shorter cord works great for my smartphone and for gaming
    • If you press your M50's against your head with your hands, they have about the same noise isolation, but you won't have any use of your hands
    • So what I do have is a Logitech G930, Logitech G75, a set of Shures for working out, and a set of "decent" Sony earbuds for running or when I need noise isolation such as flying
    • very comfortable to wear, great sound very true to surround sound, excellent noise isolation
    • They seem like they would last.-Noise Isolation: They advertise these as noise isolating
    • The sound curve is perfect for me and noise isolation is another strong point
    • Noise isolation and sound bleed are just as good as any other closed-back headphone
    • These headphones are great for anything I've listened to and the noise isolation is great too
    • cups ensure great noise isolation so you're only hearing what is pumping out of the device you're plugged into
    • They have good noise isolation, when I listen to music I barely ear background noise and people
    • They have all the bad qualities of an open back (leaked a lot of sound, no noise isolation), with none of the benefits
    • These cans checked all the boxes for me as far as sound stage, noise isolation, and sound profile
    • These headphones are great for anything I've listened to and the noise isolation is great too
    • As far as the noise isolation goes, the ambient noise is still noticeable but is definitely reduced
    • Noise isolation is the right amount, and the microphone on the shorter cord works great for my smartphone and for gaming
    • I'll get the only potential con out of the way: The noise isolation is not as good as that on the 280
    • Not that the HD 598s are turned up that loud, just the level of leakage due to open-backness.- Lack of noise isolation (?)
    • While these do not offer active noise cancelling, due to the over the ear design they do offer some noise isolation
    • Noise isolation is good.
    • This comes at the cost of portability, style, passive noise isolation, and sound leakage
    • Noise isolation is good.
    • The Beats Solo 3 run at $300 and have the same sound quality as the 598’s, perhaps even worse
    • What the heck do the 600’s and to even fathom the 800’s sounds like?-Now in my opinion on most
    • The Beats Solo 3 run at $300 and have the same sound quality as the 598’s, perhaps even worse
    • What the heck do the 600’s and to even fathom the 800’s sounds like?-Now in my opinion on most
    • The headband is made of padded leatherette and the ear cups of a very soft velour material (also replaceable!)l
    • Attempting to wipe them away is a hassle as they seem to enjoy further rolling into the fabric
    • I can't say I'd pay $300 to buy another pair if these broke, but I think I will enjoy them as much as I can from now on
    • Just keep in mind that when you listen to more compressed music files it may sound ok but not as Bassy or boosted as they would on something like Beats or Skullcandies
    • Is Gonna Come, as well as That's The Way and Tangerine
    • I've seen some reviews mention that for a closed headphone, the aren't as good as to be expected in terms of isolation and sound leakage, but it does it well enough for my needs.
    • Do not buy if you are a bass head looking to boom away as they are meant to be accurate representations of the artists recording.
    • The melody transparent a and bass is just enough.
    • I wanted something that could be used at work as well as at
    • Also would highly recommend for travel as they have great noise cancelation.
    • The headphone does bleed a
    • I'm no audiophile, so I won't get into all that lingo and technical jargon, but I will say that while they do lack a bit of bass as others have indicated, I think the bass sounds real clean and precise (as well as
