    Sennheiser HD 599 Open Back Headphone

    • Very nice accurate sound.
    • Great quality great sound
    • The sound is perfect.
    • I much prefer headphones over ear buds for the simple reason, the sound is originates further from your ear drum, so louds are not as loud vs. being right next to you drum.
    • The sound is crisp, the cushions and leather are very premium feeling, and the creamy color just puts the cherry on top
    • Wonderfully rich sound
    • Unreal sound
    • These headphones had amazing sound quality and comfort but the passive sound isolation was mediocre at best
    • The HD598s have identical mid response and tone in my A/B testing, but are a hair slower and slushier making for slightly less aggressive sound
    • Despite being plastic they are assembled with a high degree of precision.-The sound out of these is very nice, a bit on the warm side to my ear
    • These comfortable headphones have incredible sound, even at fairly low volumes
    • That incredible Sennheiser sound signature I love.
    • Unfortunately the 990's had worse sound quality than the 770 (a bit harsher sounding and not as clear) and were very uncomfortable even after only a couple of hours
    • Overall the HD 599's were slightly less comfortable than the 770's but the open back quality was convenient and the sound was quite nice
    • During songs, the audio would have like scuffed sounds and fizzing noises
    • This means they leak sound a lot
    • During songs, the audio would have like scuffed sounds and fizzing noises
    • These have a superb, smooth, pleasing sound that is never fatiguing or harsh
    • Where these shine is musical music; high-fidelity, high-dynamic-range, properly mic'd and mixed: real sounds, transferred to media by real engineers who are trying to bring a listening experience.
    • The sound is fantastic
    • These just add a layer of sublime sound over the top.
    • They do have a warm sound
    • Their electrical impedance (basically a measure of resistance/how much the signal needs to be amplified to drive the headphones properly) is fairly low at 50 Ohms, meaning that they can be plugged straight into most mobile devices and still have great sound
    • Richer sound.
    • The sound isn’t for everyone, but it has a very nice sound that is miles ahead of the HD280 Pro
    • I first received a pair of the Audio‑Technica ATH M-50x which had good sound but were very uncomfortable if worn for more than an hour or so
    • The sound is superb!
    • You get a little louder sound if it’s directly connected to the Controllers 3.5
    • 579 is a soft rounded sound
    • sound is amazing on this headset, soundstage is
    • Phones have great stereo separation, and at times, you say, wow, is that sound in the middle of my transducers
    • Not into overpowered bass sounds at all
    • These headphones sound amazing and all of my music sounds incredible.
    • When amped, turning up the sound makes the music sound cluttered and overwhelming
    • First, it provides a little relief when the sound gets a tad too loud, sort of, an escape hatch.
    • It's hard to put audio with words, but essentially the lower-mids/bass sound louder than the vocal range
    • but I do appreciate good sound.
    • Excellent fit n finish.
