Loved loved everything about this product. When I first started my audiophile journey I wanted these so badly for the color and just how many people enjoyed them. Im so happy these got a second run and you bet I use them daily. My favorite headphones to game while my 6XX are for music. Ah.
These headphones are either great or "meh" based on the price. If you can find them for $120-$130 which was roughly for what I purchased, then these are a great deal. They are decent for $150, but I would have to say no for $200. Honestly, you'd be much better served with an HD560s or an HD58x than these for $200.
The comfort is decent and is just like any in Sennheiser's 500 line of headphones to include their PC37x and PC38x. I have a slightly larger than average head and ears, and I don't suffer from any fatigue from wearing these for any length of time. The sound is also pretty decent (based on the pricing as I described above). The bass frequencies are fairly responsive and have ok detail. The mids are great as is usual with Sennheiser, and the treble I found really nothing to complain about. My only issue I found to be the slightly bloated bass with a tendency to have a slight bleed into the mids with the mids being kind of drowned out in bass heavy audio. While overall these are good headphones, I truly find no sense in getting these things when the HD560s does everything that this does and better. Like I stated above, if you can find these things in the low $100s, I would give my full recommendation. If however you're looking to spend anything close to $200 then I would highly recommend the HD560s or the HD58x if the Sennheiser sound is what you're after.
These are absolutely incredible. I thought these wouldn't compare to the 6XX, but man was I wrong. The 6XX has a more even sound, while these have a higher bass. Both the 6XX and these 599s are my top 2 go to's for music listening. I swap depending on the genre.
This is my fourth product from Sennheiser and it really is a hit. My only complaints are that it does have a kinda creaky plastic feel, it's pretty clampy to start with, the headband is a little on the uncomfortable side (not enough padding), and the cable locking mechanism is a little weird. Now with that out of the way, the sound is very unique. Given the color scheme, I think it matches the theory behind these headphones. It is my suspicion that this is meant to be a more vintage/oldies sounding headphone. Cracks and pops from either lofi music or oldies recordings really have a vintage feel to them. They are fun in my opinion. The 3d effect of sound is overall good and can give you good indications of where opponents are coming from in games. I am not sure I'd get them as an all-day-everyday set, but I am not in the least disappointed by them and love the sound they make.
I bought these during the last drop and I’m very satisfied. The price could have been lower, I’ve seen these go for 150 occasionally on amazon. I use them primarily for gaming (valorant and Tarkov) where hearing is absolutely vital. I would have died many more times than I have if I didn’t have this headset.
