    Like all products made in Germany, it’s tough; it‘ll stay true to itself though thick and thin. I would appreciate better sound quality and the open back design is unique. Has no noise cancelling ability though. Overall it’s good but not great. Love the color!

    It's the brand recommended by speech and language therapist so all sounds are reproduced properly.

    Remember it's open back (before purchasing)

    Not happy with the product. It's open back, so everyone around me can hear the music, audio.... Did not realize when I bought the product. May be other customers don't mind this. I would have preferred a feature where I can turn off the speakers on the outside. Also, the velvet pads makes your ears hot and sweaty if listening for a long time. Returning the product.

    Very effective clear sound. Easy to use and works well without blue tooth technology.

    The sound is clear, but the power is a bit weak. The bass in particular is pretty weak. It might be due to the open back design (it's my first set), but I really wasn't a fan of them.

    Sound quality is just basic for the price and they aren’t noise canceling. I would return them but since they are wired headphones with fabric ear pads I’m keeping them.

    I was disappointed with these headphones. They weren't as comfortable as described and didn't feel or sound as good as expected. For $180, you can definitely find better options.

    Better options at the price range. Did some research on YT on audiophiles. There is the Aune ar5000 for example

    I have sold high-end audio (for about ten years). I have also owned many different components, speakers, and headphones over the years (and I have written several reviews of audio products), so I am not a novice with regard to evaluating audio gear. The Sennheiser HD 599 headphones have a sweet, smooth sound that does not sacrifice detail. No frequencies are artificially boosted to impress buyers (a common problem with headphones, I have found) but no frequencies are suppressed. With just a 50 ohm impedance, I have found them quite easy to drive with the headphones output from a stereo receiver (no reason to buy a headphones amp unless, perhaps, one is thinking of using these headphones with a phone or computer). These are just plain great cans at a very low price for the quality one gets in return. I have absolutely no buyer's remorse and I am very hard to please when it comes to audio gear.

    Sennheiser HD 599 headphones

    Open back headphones with just the right amount of bass but midrange and upper end shine,, these are comfortable for hours on end, the sound is spacious , my preamp/ processor has a really good DAC/headphone amp setup and these sound fantastic ( for me) friends tell me the HD 600’s sound better but for the price, I’ll stick with these

    I don't like noise canceling headphones anyways. Love the open design and soft over the ear quality. My last sennheiser lasted 18 years. I watch movies late after the kids go to bed. Perfect as always!
