Sennheiser HD 599 Reviews

Just as I Expected

By Courtney
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2023-10-27

A friend of mine had a cheaper model of these that I originally did not like. The sound was too dark. Now, coming from Philips Fidelio X2HR headphones, these surely are warmer sounding than the Fidelios, but the sound is more rounded and the mids sound more dynamic. The bass is about on par between the two. The highs aren't as piercing as the Fidelios, though, they still sounded very good! These headphones feel very good on the head and don't clamp too hard. I forgot up until I got these that Sennheiser has their own proprietary headphone connector. So that bummed me out, but it doesn't bother me much. The cable was a bit stiff and annoying at first but it relaxed with time. One more detail about the sound. I really do feel like these headphones need a break-in period. It took maybe a few weeks or so for the sound to really pop with these. So if they sound a little dull at first, don't worry, they should liven up

Vocals Forward

These headphones are very clear and have a vocals forward sound. The high end can be a little sharp at times, and the bass is crisp but subtle. The fit is nice and the space for your ears is well designed.
