Unique look

The Sennheiser HD 599 is a premium open-back, over-ear headphone model designed for detailed, spacious sound reproduction. As part of the renowned HD 500 series, it upholds Sennheiser's reputation for high-quality audio and craftsmanship. With its distinctive ivory finish and contrasting brown accents, the lightweight plastic construction ensures both durability and comfort. The large, plush ear pads provide a soft, pressure-free fit, making them ideal for extended listening sessions. For added flexibility, the HD 599 comes with two detachable cables and an adapter to enable seamless connection to a variety of audio sources.

Exceptional comfort thanks to large ear cups

The Sennheiser HD 599 stands out with its large ear cups and soft, replaceable ear pads, ensuring exceptional comfort; the lightweight design and flexible headband minimise pressure on the ears, which makes for fatigue-free wear over long periods. Equipped with Sennheiser’s Ergonomic Acoustic Refinement (E.A.R.) technology, the headphones are engineered to channel audio directly into the ears, enhancing clarity and spatial accuracy. Performance specs include a wide frequency response of 12Hz to 38kHz, a maximum sound pressure level of 106dB SPL (1kHz/1Vrms), and an impedance of 50 ohms, making them suitable for a variety of listening environments.

Home entertainment for traditional listening pleasure

The ivory-coloured Sennheiser HD 599 delivers an exceptional stereo soundstage, thanks to its natural and spacious audio reproduction. With an open-back design, it provides a wide, airy sound while maintaining low external noise isolation, making it an ideal choice for home listening – whether for music, movies, or TV series. Characterised by a subtle sub-bass response and a smooth, warm sound signature, the HD 599 is particularly well-suited for listeners who appreciate a relaxed and natural audio reproduction.

About Sennheiser

In June 1945, Prof. Fritz Sennheiser founded the Wennebostel Laboratory, which initially produced measuring equipment. Commissioned by Siemens in 1945, the young company developed the MD-1 microphone, which was launched in 1946. After the development of further microphones, the company was renamed Sennheiser Electronic in 1958. Two years later, Sennheiser introduced the MD 421 dynamic microphone, which is still in production today and still held in high esteem by many sound engineers. Further groundbreaking developments, such as the HD 414 headphones and the classic MD 441 microphone, hugely enhanced the company's international reputation, eventually making Sennheiser one of the leading manufacturers of microphone and headphone systems in the world.

Options for different audio sources

The Sennheiser HD 599 is designed for effortless compatibility with various audio sources, and to this end comes with two different cables and an adapter. The set includes a 1.2m cable with a 3.5mm plug for portable devices and a 3m cable with a 6.3mm plug, ideal for home audio setups. Additionally, a 6.3mm to 3.5mm adapter allows the longer cable to be used with mini-jack connections, ensuring flexibility across different systems. With its low impedance, the HD 599 delivers full, dynamic sound even on portable devices, allowing music, movies, and series to be enjoyed at optimum volume without any loss in clarity.

Great intro to the Hifi world and great all-rounder

FranckyVilly 14.02.2021

It's simply a great intro to the Hifi world and a great all-rounder.
pros
- really comfortable
- great build quality
- great sound for everything except if you need lots of bass.
Typical neutral/ balanced Sennheiser sound, mix of 500 & 600 series.
- easy to drive: ipod, , tablet, TV, gaming, synths/DP, computer, ...
- The comfort plus the warmth and clarity will please everyone. I just bought one for my mother and she loves it
cons
Nothing really, maybe the cables will not be to your taste and you'll need cables with a twist-lock system as replacement.
If you need more bass extension, check close-backs like AKG K371 or Beyerdynamic DT-770 Pro 80 Ohm

If you want very good detailed reviews, watch metal571 & Wheezy reviews on Youtube.
It's really a no-brainer if you like open-backs headphones and don't need lots of bass extension

good value for money

p.costas 17.12.2020

They are super comfortable. I wear glasses and I can be for the headphones for several hours with no fatigue at all. Sound quality, I think they are good enough I am not a professional but from my guitar player perspective, they are worth the investment.

6 years review update: Amazing purchase sound, work and look like the first day.

Very confortable

al1her 26.03.2021

This headphone is not really build for DJ live performance, the structure is a little bit too light for heavy manipulation. Anyway it remain a very good tool. Audiophil may find some coloration in the bass range. But I like the way it sound for my private use.

Excellent for beginner music production work

H1SC0X 04.10.2020

Bought these to replace my HyperX Cloud 2's for gaming and music production work. The sound on these is incredibly clear and balanced to my ears. Work well for gaming allowing me to pinpoint enemy positions in multiplayer games and then aiding the ambience and atmosphere in more story driven games. Only given 4 stars due to the fact that I need to replace the 1/4inch cable already, but all other aspects of quality seem great. Also please note that these are open backed so sound will leak, not a problem unless you're planning to use these in public say on a train.
