Review: Excellent Headphones for Audiophiles and Musicians Alike - I recently purchased the Sennheiser HD599SE, my first pair of open-back headphones, and they have quickly become my go-to for listening to music and playing my digital piano. Here are a few reasons why: Balanced Audio: The audio quality is simply outstanding. The HD599SE offers a balanced sound profile that perfectly captures highs, mids, and lows without any one range overpowering the others. Whether I’m listening to classical or jazz music, the clarity and detail are exceptional. Perfect Soundstage: The soundstage on these headphones is phenomenal. The open-back design creates an expansive and immersive experience, making it feel like you’re in the room with the musicians. This spatial accuracy is perfect for appreciating the intricacies of your favorite tracks. Super Comfortable: Comfort is another area where the HD599SE excels. The ear cups are large and plush, fitting comfortably around the ears without causing any pressure, even during extended listening sessions. The headband is also well-padded, ensuring that the headphones stay secure and comfortable on your head. Nice Body Color: The design and color of the HD599SE are elegant and sophisticated. The sleek black finish with subtle accents gives these headphones a premium look that matches their performance. Perfect for Lossless Music and Digital Piano: As someone who enjoys listening to lossless music, these headphones deliver every nuance and detail with remarkable clarity. Additionally, using them while playing my Yamaha digital piano is an absolute pleasure. The sound reproduction is so accurate and immersive that it enhances my playing experience. In summary, the Sennheiser HD599SE offers balanced audio, an impressive soundstage, superior comfort, and an attractive design. They are a fantastic choice for anyone looking to enhance their listening experience, especially for classical and jazz music lovers. Highly recommended! ★★★★★
Review: Needs EQ and then they're Wonderful!! - What can i say, very well made headphones and the sound really nice and accurate especially when you eq the slight muddy base. Great headphones especially on sale for $100!!! Gaming on FPS games like Valorant is really Cool! you can hear footseps easily and the direction. Overall, Great imaging! Great sound accuracy not too harsh and somewhat warm. Awesome Price, Only HD560 will be a small upgrade in terms of build quality and easier to use since you can wear those without eq and they will sound nice out the box without any tweaking.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do these compare to the 598s?**
A: The HD 599 is a cosmetic refresh of the the HD 598.  Both uses the Sennheiser SYS38 50-ohm transducer.

**Q: How is the bass on these headphones? Does it effect the mids/highs at all?**
A: While these aren't "bass head" headphones, they have noticeably more bass than their predecessor the HD 598s.  I always found the HD 598s to be a little "bass light", where the HD 599s have a much richer sound.  The HD 599's are more musical where the HD 598s are more analytical.  Depending on the track and your listening level there may be some noticeable intermodulation distortion where the bass frequencies will distort the mids and highs.  On Deadmau5's new track "Let Go" the effect is very noticeable when you turn them up (and not all that loud).  Playing the same track on my HD 600s, HD 650s, and HD 700s does NOT result in this distortion.  It isn't that the bass is distorting, it just interferes with the mids and highs.  These HD 599s are my daily driver (at work) and I REALLY like them.  They are a far more versatile than the HD 598s, they sound fantastic, and I don't regret the purchase at all.  At work I run them on a Schiit Modi 2 Uber/Magni 2 Uber stack and the pairing with the HD 599s is excellent.  The highs are also better on the HD 599s than the HD 598s (which struggled with "Sh" and "F" sounds).

**Q: Can you use these on a phone**
A: Yes. I have an earlier version, the HD598SR. They are compatible with phones and computers, and the short cable has a built-in microphone which will allow you to use it on phone calls. The longer cable doesn’t.

**Q: Can any recommend an amp for these? i was thinking of getting the objective 2 but if anyone else has a better one please tell me. p.s. i'm on a budget**
A: I powered the HD599s with my LG-G4 smartphone, an Acer Chromebook R-13 (excellent headphone section for a laptop), a Schiit Modi 2 Uber/ Vali 2 (Genalex Gold Lion 6922 tube) stack that I use at work (I also used a Schiit Magni 2 Uber with the Magni 2 Uber), and a Schiit Bifrost Multibit/Valhalla 2 (Genalex Gold Lion 6922 tubes)stack I have at home (I also used a Schiit Asgard 2 with the Bifrost).  I did/do not apply any equalization or effects when I listen.  Like all the higher end Sennheiser headphones, the HD599s improved noticeably as the driving components improved.  After a lot of listening to the 598s and 599s I concluded that they both sounded best when run through my Bifrost/Asgard 2 stack (The Modi 2U/ Magni 2U pairing was also excellent), so this is how I listened when doing my analysis.  Like most lower impedance headphones, they both seem to prefer solid state amps to OTL tube amps, but they did pair well with the Vali 2 (a hybrid tube amp) as well. I know the O2 is a brighter amp (and solid state) and would probably pair quite we with these.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Más que suficientes para mi.
*by J***. on 19 November 2025*

Acabo de recibirlos. En primer lugar sus almohadillas se ajustan perfectamente a mis oídos, aunque las siento cálidas, y quizá a la larga generen algo de sudor. En general son comodísimos como mencionan muchos compradores, tan ligeros que pronto olvidas que los llevas puestos. Antes de comprarlos leí muchas reseñas (acostumbro leer mucho antes de comprar algo), y tomé en cuenta sus puntos positivos y negativos, y como los negativos no fueron determinantes para decidirme, entonces los compré con cierta conciencia de lo que podía esperar. Para probarlos escuché canciones que conozco plenamente, y que tengo en formato FLAC real de 24 bits y 48 KHz. Los conecté a mi PC a través de una Sound Blaster X3 que es bastante decente, y usé el reproductor Music Bee que puede aprovechar el modo ASIO de mi SB X3. No tengo ninguna queja en cuanto a la calidad del sonido que entregan, mis canciones se escuchan espectaculares sin ecualizaciones ni ajustes adicionales, he logrado distinguir detalles que antes no percibía y es muy agradable el sonido a cualquier nivel de volúmen. Cabe mencionar que me gusta la ecualización plana, sin bajos exagerados, lo más natural y cercano a la grabación original. Una queja común que leí fue que los bajos no eran potentes, pero a mi me parecen perfectos, los bajos son profundos, presentes, sólidos, y no contaminan las demás frecuencias. Leí que el sonido era algo "opaco", sobre todo en la zona de bajos y medios, y que las voces masculinas no sonaban naturales, pero en lo personal no noto algo así, las voces se escuchan tan bien y con tonos tan naturales y nítidos, que a veces cuando escucho diálogos creo que alguien se encuentra hablando físicamente a mi lado. He estado probandolos con X4 Foundations (mi juego de PC favorito), y es alucinante. No esperaba que funcionaran tan bien para videojuegos. Cada tipo de munición de cada arma suena impactante, cada motor de las naves ruge potente, cada voz es clara y se distingue perfectamente la procedencia de cada fuente de sonido. Para comprobar la diferencia los desconecté de la Sound Blaster X3 de mi PC, y los puse en mi celular POCO X6 Pro 5G y escuché exactamente los mismos archivos de audio en formato FLAC. Hubo cierta diferencia ya que los audífonos son de 50 Ohms, y eso hace que los bajos pierdan un poco de impacto. Aún así siguen siendo disfrutables, el audio detallado sigue ahí, presente (no tanto como en mi PC con la SB X3 que hace gran diferencia con los bajos). Esa pequeña perdida en la fuerza de los bajos se mitigó habilitando Dolby Atmos en el cel. Soy consiente que el tema del audio y su "calidad" es totalmente subjetivo, cada persona tiene su propia definición del tema. Con esto en mente, y considerando que en este Buen Fin me costaron $1,583 MXN con descuentos, para mí estos audifonos resultaron ser perfectos y no necesito algo "de mejor calidad". Las almohadillas al final no resultaron ser tan cálidas, luego de usarlas unas 3 horas se sienten bien y no pienso quitármelos, estoy disfrutando mucho de mis canciones favoritas 😊
