Great Sound for the Price, Made a Perfect Gift
I gave these to someone as a gift back in December 2023, and they’ve been very happy with them. As someone who personally owns the Sennheiser 490 PROs, I was curious to compare. The HD 599s definitely hold their own for the price. They offer clear, spacious audio with a natural soundstage thanks to the open-back design.Comfort is a strong point too. The ear cups are soft and breathable, and the fit works well for long sessions without fatigue. Build quality feels solid, and after several months of use, they still look and sound great. For the price, these deliver excellent value. If you want a great pair of open-back headphones without breaking the bank, this is a solid pick.

Sennheiser is unmatched for the price
Fantastic sound for the price. Extremely comparable to my original Sennheiser HD 555s that I've been using since 2006. I think the 555s sound a little bit more natural and the plastic was nicer feeling back then, but the sound quality is nearly identical. The plastic shell on these feels slightly cheaper than the 555s but they are still quite nice and possibly more durable, they just feel cheaper to the touch. The 3.5mm adapter that they come with is terrible and provides poor sound quality compared to a gold-plated corded one I purchased years ago. It was quite a difference comparing the adapters, so I would definitely recommend buying a better one. They fit fairly tight on my big head but are incredibly comfortable for long sessions. I will always purchase Sennheiser as my main headphones for music and gaming.

Perfection
I primarily use these for gaming or watching videos, listening to music on YouTube. I'm not an audiophile but I really enjoy my "me time" on my PC so I want it to be a high quality experience. These deliver on every level.I don't really play many games that need a mic so I just bought an in-line mic add-on from a 3rd party made specifically for these headphones and attached it. It's a cheap boom mic but it picks up fine.The MOST important thing for me is comfort. I have fallen asleep with these on multiple times. It never leaves my ears or scalp sore. I used to have a pair of Astro A40s because of how comfortable they were, but these are superior in just about every way. These are absolutely worth the price if you can afford them. I've had mine for about 5 months. They're the best headphones I've ever used. I bought a nice little SoundBlaster DAC/soundcard to go with them to make sure I got the full range of the headphones and it made a big difference. These are phenomenal. I couldn't be more pleased with them. I plan on using these for as long as they will last, which judging by the high quality materials, I think they'll last many years just like my Astro A40s did.COMFORT: These fit OVER my ears. So many headphones are called "over-ear" yet lay on top of my ears. I have detached ear lobes so most headphones lay on my ear lobes slightly and after a few hours will make my ears sore. The clamp strength is also a huge factor. I have a big fat head (because I'm so smart) and most headphones start to feel too snug after awhile. These never do. I've fallen asleep for 6+ hours before at my PC and woke up, forgot I was wearing these, and never felt any discomfort. It's like they were made by a benevolent God just for my cranium. The top of the headphones never press down on the top of my scalp in an uncomfortable way either. The head cushion on my Astro A40s would get uncomfortable after extended sessions but I swear these NEVER do me wrong. These are a gift from heaven and I love them dearly. If you care about audio quality and comfort above all else, you will be pleased with these.

SENNHEISER HD 599
I have been enjoying these headphones for about a week. I also own a pair of Grado SR80's and Beyerdynamic DT-900's. All open-back headphones for comparison. I've listening device is a Hiby R4.The Sennheiser's have rather large over the ear cups that are well cushioned. I find them reasonably comfortable, but occasionally they need to be adjust to remove pressure from my ears. I have a small head and they sit comfortably without pressure or irritation.To my surprise despite the fact that the Sennheiser's have a slight higher OHM rating compared to my other headphones, they're actually a bit more efficient and produce ample sound from the hiby when set to medium gain.I used the parametric equalizer included with the hiby to make adjustments as I do with all my headphones. I had to dial in a V-shapred curve to shape the sound to my liking. Without the adjustments the midrange is just too loud in my opinion and the bass doesn't have sufficient thump. I also made adjustments on the high frequencies. With all the adjustments the sounds is quite pleasing. I listen mostly to Rock & Roll via Amazon hi-fi music streaming. The sound stage is open, but not quite as airy as my other headphones. Still, quite satisfactory. With the midrange adjustments classical music is delightful.I recommend these headphones and think they are a good value. For folks who aren't willing to play with an equalizer to fine tune the sound, perhaps these might not be the best choice. Time will tell for durability. They do have removable cables which is a plus.
