    • All Day Comfort and Great Sound
Style: HD 599
I have a hard time finding hats that fit. If this sounds like you than you may be in luck. These headphones fit my head just fine with a little space to spare which is perfect for getting them positioned just right. I needed a headset for streaming purposes that was comfortable enough to wear all day. I also wanted something open backed so I could speak easily and ideally something that sounded good. I wanted all of this at the bare minimum budget price because I've decided I'm done spending a bunch of money on nice headphones. These have checked all of the boxes except the bare minimum budget box but it was worth paying a little more for these. I won't go too far into sound since others have already described it well but here are my one week pre burn in thoughts: 1) These headphones are tuned to feel engaging out of the box. They are not as clinical as a set of AKGs. This is an excellent set to turn on your favorite album, close your eyes, and get lost in the music. 2) As a lifelong basshead these headphones may not satisfy sub-bass enthusiasts. They're open backed so they're not meant for that. However the bass they do reproduce is clean and fills nicely out of the box. It's just not gonna bump hard enough to get your booty shakin. To do that you'll need an amp with bass boost or to play with an EQ. The headphones take well to mild equalization on the low end. If I EQ the sub-bass a bit too high they'll crackle. But if I EQ to just where the sub-bass starts to overpower the track somewhat and then step it down to where it blends these definitely got my booty shakin. If you absolutely must crank your bass then you really need go with closed back sets or IEMs. Some IEMs don't seem to care how much you EQ bass. They'll reproduce it happily without a crackle. Most importantly let's talk about comfort. These headphones are a dream to wear. After I put them on I forget I'm even wearing them throughout the course of a 6 hour stream. After I'm done I usually just keep them on and continue listening to music or working on things. I got done with a stream an hour ago and I'm still wearing them right now. The earpads are truly over ear and I have a big set of ears. No part of my ear touches the earpad or the driver so there's no pressure point other than the cloth pads resting on my head. Clamp force is perfect and doesn't cause any pain either. This is particularly nice since I wear glasses. If you have a big dome and need a set of all day work headphones buy these and you won't be disappointed! You may find you want to keep wearing them and listen to music after you're done working... ... show more

I have a pair of Sennheiser HD438's, but I hadn't used them much in the recent years. I was more into TWS earbuds and then transitioned to wired IEM's. I recently dug out my old Sennie's for a change and really appreciated the forgotten comfort and sound signature. So, I decided to research today's headphones. The HD 599 SE was in the right price bracket (I've spent way too much already, according to my wife!!) and the reviews gave it high marks for soundstage, comfort, sound signature and open-back bass. I knew Sennheiser was durable. My HD438's are still in excellent condition after 11 or 12 years. The SE traditional coloring is much better suited to my taste than the HD 599. . DESIGN & BUILD: The Industrial Stylist at Sennheiser must have a really tedious job. I was surprised how similar my 11-year-old HD 438 is to the HD599. No major styling change there in all that time! At least that shiny spoke pattern, which reminds me of my truck wheels, is gone! The headphones are equally comfortable, with a touch more pressure on the HD599. My glasses are not forced onto my head though and I can wear these for hours. The oval earcups are quite large vertically, like the HD 438, and fit my big ears perfectly to be truly ‘over-the-ear’ ‘phones. I have room to spare, but not much! . While these headphones are made of plastic, they are very strong and you’ll struggle to break them. You can twist and spread these around and not crack anything. . I’m not a fan of the dedicated 2.5mm (?) twist-lock connector into the headphone, but at least there are aftermarket replacements available. I have no idea why the adapter on the longer cable is a large female to small male and the large male 6.35mm connector is on the cable. The cable should be 3.5mm and the adapter should enlarge the connector. With the adapter on, the cable end is just too honking big! . My only criticism would be the headband adjustment. I liked the SHP 9500 with its strong detent and numbering system. I find the headband can go out of adjustment too easily handling the headphones and I have to judge the gap in the headband visually for my best fit. . SOUNDSTAGE & IMAGING: When I got the HD 599 SE, I plugged them straight into my phone and was totally blown away. The frequency curve is essentially neutral with a hint of coloration. The bass rolls off below 40Hz but the treble stays strong right up to the 20kHz limit. The mids are slightly cool but are certainly not ‘recessed’. I felt like… - I was in a room with the musicians. The reproduction was totally natural. - The bass was really solid, surprisingly so for an open-back headphone. Maybe not bass head worthy, but punchy, crisp, and realistic. - The treble was clear, detailed and ‘Sennheiser smooth’. I really liked my Momentum TW2 earbud sound signature, but as buds go, they are dated (app and ANC) compared with other brands and I ended up returning them. ☹ ‘Hold me now’ by the Thompson twins, ‘Honey and the Bee’ by Owl City, and ‘Appetite’ by Prefab Sprout can be quite harsh, even sibilant, at the upper end on all my IEM's and some of my TWS buds. I like a bright sound, but not sibilant and grainy. The HD 599 SE was so natural sounding and just… gorgeous. - The soundstage is what I've been seeking and missing with closed back and in-ears. Hotel California - Live on MTV 1994 by the Eagles sounds amazing. That punch at 32s is awesome. ‘Strive’ by Amber Rubarth, ‘Killing me softly…’ by Roberta Flack, 'Unearthed - Orchestral version' by Wildpath, and ‘Your Grace is enough – Live’ by Matt Maher are just sublime. There’s both width and height with correctly mixed tracks. Try listening to “Best 8D song EVER with headphones 2021 – HD” on YT. Awesome! - Imaging is also superb and it’s easy to pick out the location of instruments. ‘Buck Dance’ by Dick Schory’s New Percussion Ensemble has your senses tracking all over the stage! . I’d not used open back headphones before trying the SHP 9500 and I actually liked the feel and openness, compared with closed-back. However, the SHP 9500 did not have the sound staging I was after. The HD 599 SE certainly does. Of course, you need to use these in a quiet room to save your ears. With the 106dB sensitivity and 50 Ohm impedance, I do have to use 70 to 80% volume directly connected to my phone, compared with 40% on my IEM’s. Still plenty loud enough for me, but you may not agree. Please take care of your hearing though! . I have a collection of Earbud Test Tracks, which I use to assess my earphones… . https://music.amazon.com/user-playlists/6c1a03929ed947ab82cc33db24d7c001sune?ref=dm_sh_c7f9-3dba-7009-a4cd-8323a . I usually use a Qudelix 5K DAC/AMP. I loaded Oratory1990’s HD 599 PEQ and with the HD 599 connected, I noticed that it cleaned up the lower/mid bass just a tad. On some tracks, the bass can get a little muddy. I felt that a little more treble was needed and slightly less bass though to suit my taste. So, I adjusted the PEQ and I now have my final settings (see photo). . CONCLUSION: For a consumer-friendly price, you are truly entering Audiophile territory with the HD 599. I have no reticence in stating that. When the HD 599 go on sale, they are an absolute must-have. I bought these for the current price of $150. I still think that’s a steal! The HD 599 SE are now my go-to for serious listening late at night and I think they could be yours also! ... show more
