Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The open back design allows the user to hear ambient noises-barking dogs, ringing phones etc. The sound is incredibly spacious (not surprising, first open back headphones i’ve ever used) the design is very premium looking, and i like the color pattern... Read More

Sennheiser hd 599 se's are very lightweight and extremely comfortable. I can keep them on for half an hour without any discomfort. My only real complaint is that the cord is too short, and i'd prefer a braided cord.

These headphones are, in a word, amazing. They sound real good for vj headphones and especial if using a microphone because they sound like they are sloped up in the midrange about 2. Midrange. These are my first headphones for listening to lossless m... Read More

The pads are very comfortable and look like the kind of material used in car seats further giving that luxery look. The pads never get irritating after hours of use, nor does the ears get sweaty from the inside, which most plastic foam materials cause... Read More

They are super durable. Movies are awesome, too. But for $150, these are gorgeous.

Cons

The left earphone blew out within a few months. The foam on the headphones is not nearly as comfortable as i had hoped it would be. Also they are cheaply made, the plastic they use is not very nice. These aren't worth the few extra dollars if you are ... Read More

Quality

Great sound quality i use them for piano and keyboard playing the sound quality is excellent and is ideally suited for this purpose

The sound is very highly detailed and accurate and has very good soundstage

Never loses quality no matter the volume from the softest soft to the loudest loud

My last pair only had one joint and after a year of use the stress broke the plastic casing

Price

80 bucks is a steal for these

At 129 this was an excellent purchase

I realize now that you need to spend 1000s of dollars to get good bluetooth headphones

So instead of lowering the main price they just put it on forever sell to increase the buyers into thinking they are saving money

Shipping

Glad i got these on prime day

Packaging/appearance

In the box the longer cable was already attached and i did not know it should be detachable

I then discovered a second headphone cable was already in the original box which i had not noticed

Competitiveness

They are better than the vinyl headphone pads that tend to disintegrate over time on other headphones such as sony headphones

Sennheiser has been my goto brand for quite a while and i upgraded to these from the hd400s

Ive tried other brands of headphones and keep coming back to the sennheiser hd 599

I may even purchase another pair as i dont know of anything better on the horizon
