The HD 598 and HD 599 are extremely close in sound performance, with a slightly tweaked driver. Indeed the specs are the same – it’s mostly a facelift with different colour scheme and materials used. Well, i didn't heard the 599, but i heard from other "audiophiles" thats a bit better than 598 ( its like between 598 and HD600 ). A point of disadvantage with the design is that it does not come with any sound control. You won’t be able to control the volume just with the headphones. You will have to use the device it is connected to. But this disadvantage can be easily overlooked. The amazing amp experience that comes with this headphone will help you enhance the quality of music. Feel and comfortThe sound pressure level goes around 106dB, and the total harmonic distortion is set below 0.1%. This is the expected value for the given price. It helps in delivering a clean and crisp sound with ample volume. The amount you pay for these brilliant headphones is justified by each and every specification the company has loaded it with. Specs When you look at the HD599’s press material you immediately notice this headphone is branded as a top of the line “do-it-all” headphone for watching movies and for listening to music and basically anything that can be done with a headphone. The HD6XX and all the higher end models are marketed as pure audiophile headphones for music listening.

According to Sennheiser the HD 599 is your first step into the world of audiophile sound and I couldn’t agree more. It’s smooth, easy to like and listen to but you also get good detail and depth resulting in a musical and natural sound.

The HD555/595 design that the 558/598/599/etc are based on were never designed for gaming, they were designed for music, movies and media devices. The headband is made of brown leather and is pretty lightweight. It spreads evenly across your head and does not put pressure while it is clamped to your ears. The force with which the headpieces adhere to the ear is just the perfect amount. You will not feel a lot of pressure being exerted on your ears, neither will you get the feel of the headphone slipping off. The Sennheiser HD599 is a perfect choice for all audiophiles. It has an amazing bass quality that will give you quite an immersive listening experience. It offers a clear and crisp sound quality, which will offer a natural sound to the listener.
