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

The comfiest headsets Ive ever owned.

Comfortable fit, excellent range, strong bass. A bit loud from the outside when worn, but not obnoxiously so.

Good.

Honestly, I was hoping for a bit more clarity from these, they have more bass than I like. That said, my earbuds are Etymotics HF5, so Im used to having flat, very detailed sound. Regardless, for that price (140$ 05/2017) they sound absolutely fantastic! And I am sure most people would prefer them over my HF5s. Comfort-wise they are absolutely amazing! The quality of the pads is average, the foam is a bit firm and the velour is not extra soft, but yet they are extremely comfy. I always hated headphones because my ears got hot but I barely feel anything when I have these on.

Solo tres anotaciones: 1.-Si estas buscando que el bajo de tus audífonos te revienten la cabeza estos NO son los audífonos que estas buscando, estos son ideales para rock, música clásica, voz y para algunos juegos de video. 2.- Si los vas a conectar a tu teléfono o a la tarjeta de sonido de tu computadora estas desperdiciando el 50% del potencial de estos audífonos, recomiendo ampliamente adquirir un ¨Bravo Audio V2 Class A¨ para sacarles todo el sonido que pueden dar. (si puedes comprar un AMP más caro adelante!) 3.- Archivos MP3 incluso a 320 no les hacen justicia, si tu fuente es digital que al menos sea .FLAC

fueron mis primeros audifonos y tengo que decir que son buenisimos he estado mas de 10 horas con ellos puestos y no me cansan en lo absoluto su sonido es hermoso puedes diferenciar lo que sea cuando se trata de musica de muchos instrumentos, le volumen es perfecto en ningun momento te aturde, estoy haciendo esta reseña despues de 3 años de haberlos adquiridos y adivinen que, aun los tengo en perfecto estado, las almohadillas me duraron 2 años, ya las cambie pero ahi en fuera todo bien

These are some of my first good headphones and wow they are lovely. Sound: As far as sound quality is concerned these are pretty well rounded. They are exceptional for most genres, though those seeking bass will likely want to search elsewhere. The mids and highs are where these cans shine much moreso. The soundstage is what really sets these apart from similar offerings. Its immense and immersive, fantastic for gaming and movies. Build Quality: These feel somewhat flimsy, but Ive yet to experience any issues whatsoever with them and seem tougher than they look. They have a detachable cable, which is always a plus. The special edition also features a cable with an 1/8 jack, making it optimal for usage with a mobile phone/portable media player. The open back nature is not for those seeking any noise isolation, and are not optimal for use in public areas where noise isolation is a concern. They are however, quite comfortable and can practically forget you are wearing them.

Una excelente elección para quienes disfruten de la música en alta fidelidad. El sonido que se escucha por estos auriculares es claro, brillante, con gran respuesta ante los graves y los agudos, sin distorsión alguna. Es muy útil también la posibilidad de intercambiar el cable de conexión entre uno largo y otro más corto.

So comfortable as they do not squeeze ears with glasses on and the SOUND is fabulous!

I dont know why there are a few people saying they got fake headphones. Mine went through the authentication process without any problem. I mean if this can is sold and shipped by Amazon, then it shouldnt be fake right? I also bought a pair of HD650 and HD700 from Amazon recently, and they went through the authentication process too.
