HD 599 SE

The 599 is old school 500 series Sennheiser. Very warm with lack of detail. It's good for low quality harsh recordings. The 560S is a massively more performant headphones with a close to reference sound and much more extended into the sub-bass, but it will sound painful on bad quality recordings

Just bought QC Ultra (Lunar Blue - love the color!). I got it from a local online store here in Poland for $194, as it was open box customer return. However they are new in mint condition. I’ve used them for just two days, but I already absolutely love them. I also have old Bose QC 25 and Ultra are

I find the 599 to be significantly warmer, and darker than the HD 560S. They are basically complete opposites for me in terms of sound. The ear pads should be identical, but it's possible for them to be shaped slightly different from the factory. Also, the headbands are plastic, if the 599 is too lo

hifiman and audeze were my saving graces for audiophile sets. everytime you ask for a recommendation on here it’s always sennheiser, so i went thru 5 pairs, 569, 599, 560s, 6xx, 650 and thought maybe this hobby isn’t for me. i grabbed a pair of 400se b stock when they were something like $60 and imm

Sorry i can't comment on the MTW 4, But to share my experiences as of late: in 2016 i purchased hd 598 from Amazon, they still work to this day, they've been dropped, mishandled and all sorts, i have slammed them (Stupidly first few years, thanks league of legends), they work almost fine, they rattl

I Have Sennheiser HD599 but I can't say I'm super pleased with the sound despite not being bad.

Hey everyone,

I just received my brand-new Sennheiser HD 599 SE today, but I noticed an issue right away. There's a crackling sound in the right earcup whenever bass hits. The left ear sounds perfect.

Here’s what I’ve tried:

Tested on multiple devices (phone, PC)

Tried both included cables

If you can find them on sale get the HD 550 I have the 599 and the 598 (not tried the 505) buy the 550 they are miles better than the 599 Saying that things are not better just a different in presentation. The “better” is my own preference in sound signature.
