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

best headphones ive bought so far. Huge upgrade from my HD280s. However, sound does leak in so please dont expect them to drown out ambient noise.

i give it a 4.5 star rating, on the one fact that the cord is obnoxiously long and it comes with a bulky plug, and thankfully an adapter for 3.5mm jacks, though the bulkiness only increases. quality is well worth it and comfort is not bad at all.

Very good headphone for every day use. Even better with an amplifier for serious listening sessions

This is going straight back to Amazon. Beware the really crumby computer adapter ... which just doesnt work ... or rather works occasionally for maybe a minute or so before the right channel cuts out. And its not the computer ...I tried the adapter on all three computers I own (Two Imacs and a laptop) and the same fault every time. Wretchedly poor. A great pity, because I was really looking forward to getting these headphones ... and in the brief interludes in which the adapter actually got a signal to both channels the headphones didnt sound bad. But the best headphones in the world wont be any good if no signal is getting to them. Pathetic, really.

Speaking as a non-audiophile, this headset sounds great (after messing around with equalizer settings) and is extremely comfortable. Only complaint is I wish it was cheaper. 5/5

What to say about this legendary headphones, the best headphones you can get under 200$.

The sound quality of this headphones is ridiculous outstanding! I owned a pair of Sony & Beats; however, you simply cannot compare them. And the price that I paid make it even better. 100% recommend.

Outstanding sound quality and excellent build quality. Very comfortable for long listening sessions. I use it with a Technics SU-8600 vintage amplifier and a SL-1200 Technics turntable from the late 70s and cannot be happier. Classical music and Jazz tracks are out of this world. The sound quality is particularly impressive when I play my FLAC files; trust me on this, once you go FLAC, you never go back....

Sound fantastic and are a great value. Very lightweight and comfortable. Highly recommend.

These headphones look and sound AMAZING! Fortunately I got these for a great deal on Black Friday for about $98. Theyre super lightweight, and fit comfortably over my ears with glasses. The ability for the ear cups to rotate also helps take some of the pressure off of my glasses as well. Im currently using them plugged straight into the mobo on my PC, but will be trying them out with the ASUS Xonar DGX and hope to receive even better sound.
