• Reviews around star (2.76 of 5)

    Sennheiser HD 598 SR Open-Back Headphone

    • Easy 5 stars, they look great when they're strapped to the side of your skull, they sound great, and for the price, you absolutely can't beat them
    • This is why Im knocking a star
    • I'd give it four stars at its current $149 price tag, but five enthusiastic stars at $99.
