Sennheiser HD599 Open-Back Headphone

The HD599 is Sennheiser’s newest 500 series home entertainment open-back headphone, improving on the popular HD 598. The open-back, over ear design with soft, replaceable earpads ensures long listening comfort with great breathability. The replaceable cables and adapter included with the headphone allow the listener to plug the HD599 into a wide range of portable, professional, and high end sources. The lush creme colour profile of the HD599 is a statement in old school cool.

The HD599 produces a balanced sound signature that tilts somewhat warm, with rich and chesty low midrange, along with Sennheiser’s famous wide soundstage. The open back design of the HD599 allows the listener’s music to blend into the environment, forming a more natural sound signature. The HD599 retains the popular dynamics of its predecessor, the HD598, with a slight bass bump that keeps things lively and energetic. The 599 is great for hours of comfortable listening with any genre.

For an closed-back portable suited headphone with good isolation and an included microphone, consider the HD569.

Carrying on from the popular HD598, the HD599 updates the forumla with an improved driver and a fresh paintjob!
