Sennheiser HD 598 Special Edition Over-Ear Headphones - Black (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

thank you so much..

good product you can buy one

Bought in 2014, still functioning well today after 6+ years of active use.

Extremely big

made in china! the comfort is ok, but the sound for hi res streams in a little shrill, and poorly controlled. I ran sound through the headsets foe almost two days, and heard no mellowing. The 50 ohm resistance means a computer with external dac/head amp provided plenty of volume, but classical in particular comes in as confused. With jazz, the sound is better overall. I have other headsets for travel and main amps and cd players, and bought this set for computer bases use. Its disappointing, and doesnt sound like a Sennheiser.

I cannot be more satisfied with my Sennheiser Headphones so far. The sound quality is superb,and they are light and VERY comfortable to wear. I also found that the sound leakage was far less than I have been led to believe. I got these along with the little fiio e10k, and I reccomend that you purchase either one of these or a similar unit. You simply cannot get comparable increase in sound quality with speakers without putting out FAR more money.

Brother of the renowned HD598. These are exactly like them except for the color and an additional short 3.5mm cable. They are very comfortable, so much that I am now using them over my DT990. Cant beat the performance/price when they are on sale.

Incredible headphones that beat every other pair ive owned, including mid-high level AKGs and Sennheisers. Extremely clear and revealing, these phones will bring new listening pleasure to old familar songs. Drops a star as they are very (very) leaky. I get dirty looks if using these in the presence of other people, even at low levels. Also these are relatively low impedence so need driving hard, id recommend a headphone amp with these if using from an ipod or similar.

Sennheiser HD 598SE Los compre para remplazar temporalmente mis AKG 701 que se dañaron, y no quería gastar una fortuna en ellos. Básicamente los uso en la computadora, con archivos de música en formatos lossless, y para gaming (principalmente shooters). * Son abiertos, es decir, puedes oir los ruidos de la habitación y se puede oir un poco de lo que tu escuchas con ellos. Descubrí que este tipo de audífonos son muy buenos en los shooters de forma accidental con mis antiguos AKG. Te da una sensación de amplitud y espacialidad y casi puedes sentir de donde vienen unas pisadas, o de donde te están disparando. Son así de buenos. Es malo si sólo quieres aislarte del ruido exterior. * Para música son geniales, principalmente para música de cámara, jazz y rock clásico. Tiene buenos medios, y no es tímido con los bajos, sólo no esperes que retumbe. Los puedo levantar bien con mi teléfono, un Samsung Galaxy S6Edge+, pero son poco portables. * Para sacar todo su potencial en música es conveniente un amplificador. Yo uso un Audioquest Firefly via USB, y le da más presencia a la música, se escucha con mejor definición , así como la separación de los instrumentos. Y de potencia, pues de sobra. No perdona las grabaciones mal hechas. Hace brillar la música bien grabada, pero los defectos de edición o de rippeo en formatos con perdida (MP3 y sobre todo WMA) se hacen muy evidentes. * Como a cualquier audífono o bocina nuevo, debes darles algunas horas para que se suelte y lo escuches en todo su potencial. Estoy muy contento con la compra. Los he estado escuchando por horas sin fatiga, a pesar de que uso lentes. Definitivamente recomendable. Por su precio no vas a encontrar unos mejores. Y si eres gamer, definitivamente se escuchan mejor que cualquiera de los actuales en el mercado.

Warning, Im not an audiophile. These sound fine to me, as do pretty much all headphones I own, and I didnt have to break them in. I got them on a good sale because my close-can style headphones (Sennheiser 280 Pro) hurt my head after a while and can get a little hot, so I wanted to try an alternative. You cant exactly take open-cans to work, but anything but earbuds is a bit clunky and gives me headphone-hair so thats not really a option anyway. I like the sound and how they feel on my ears, definitely very soft and cool compared to my closed-cans. Perfect for gaming or listening to music when I dont want to bother others in the house, as long as they arent in the same room.
