Type of review

I was looking for full-size open headphones with low impedance, with a short interchangeable wire, soft ear cushions, specifically for use with the PlayStation 5. And after two weeks of use, I can say that these are good headphones for movies and games. BUT! For music, I don't recommend it. My feelings about the music in them: There is a lot of bass, it is deaf, not expressive and in general is clearly bullied. There is some middle, but there is not enough detail, the vocals are not catchy…

Pros
  • I bought mainly for games on the PlayStation 5 (connection to the gamepad). The sound in games is good, quite voluminous and detailed. They sit very comfortably on the head.
Cons
  • Sound in music - well, C grade, given the price. This is how headphones should sound for 6-8 thousand, but not for 12-16 (bought at a discount for 12200, the recommended price is 16)

Matches the description completely, very satisfied.

I am an ordinary teapot who does not cut the subtleties. Before that, I used wireless full-size headphones, expensive ones, Senkhs were also. I was not looking for purity of sound, but convenience. And I didn't find it. Bought these out of desperation already, and a miracle happened. For me, it's really a miracle, because I can listen for hours in them, and my head doesn't hurt, and my ears don't fall off. They are incredibly comfortable.

Pros
  • God, God, these are the first headphones in my life that do not put pressure on my ears and on my head. This is Love.
Cons
  • For me, none.

Nothing unusual, a normal product.

The headphones are very dark, for people who always have little bass, while they have a very comfortable fit (a little pressure on the ears), they stay on the head well, there is detail in the sound, they are well assembled, there are no squeaks or backlashes. Pts are well suited for games and for watching movies, youtube, but since the headphones are open, everything will be heard by others, at medium-high volume, the impedance (winding resistance) is 50 ohms, they are not demanding on the…

Pros
  • Build quality, materials for budget headphones, good detail, comfortable fit, low impedance.
Cons
  • There are no tops, even the upper middle, everything is for the sake of bass, I think that headphones are for bassheads.

One of the best offers, glad I bought it.

I' I took it to replace an older version, by the way, they still work well (and years have passed), they just obviously got worn out Has pros: notice that they are on your head at all - great sound (in my opinion) sound may have complaints, but for normal people everything sounds 5+ Has cons: - dirt / fluff sticks to the ear pads quite actively, but this is a common situation IMHO

Great product, best quality.

Different pros: deep sound Fine tuning in the equalizer Compared to consumer headphones, the difference is immediately felt The head does not get tired, they sit very softly and imperceptibly Cons: I want to listen to music only in them, but it's a pity there is no bluetooth😅

I thought that putting these headphones on to listen to music on my computer would be a good idea, but it turns out that watching movies and playing video games is where they really shine. A disproportionate amount of stress placed on the bass, warmth, and velvet. It works much like the hard and soft suspension settings on a car. This spot has a lot of give to it. Absolutely, you won't feel any discomfort even after riding on a soft suspension for several hours. But without taking pleasure in…

Pros
  • The sound is clear and has just the right amount of warmth (there is a pronounced emphasis on bass). The fit on the head is very comfortable. Excellent for both watching movies and playing games on the computer.
Cons
  • Not the headphones for music! The sound produced by headphones is not very dynamic. A sound that is too dark has an emphasis on the lower and middle frequencies, both of which have a warm quality to them. Although the detail is maintained throughout the entirety of the range, there is an insufficient amount of energy and brightness in the sound, and the tops are crushed to a very decent degree. An amplifier is also required in this situation.

The quality is ok on the whole, it has some small flaws.

Taste and color, as the old saying goes. Listen to what they have to say before you buy. I decided that the HD 599 was not for me, so I took it back to the store where I purchased it. Has pros: Very beautiful design. They have a slick appearance. Outstanding quality can be found in all of the components. Ear cushions made of a plush fabric tend to trap heat and moisture in the ear canal. The bow has a nice leather wrapping around it. Even the plastic has a pleasant texture. When you are…

Nice price, good quality.

I obtained a new HD 595 to replace the one that I had previously owned, which I had purchased from my own hands and utilized for a number of years. Excellent headphones. Due to the fact that I knocked over and broke my darling, I made the decision to upgrade to a model that is more recent and contemporary. It was Her that I wanted when version 598 came out, because the design and characteristics are an exact copy of version 595, and this one already has design changes, so the sensitivity has…

Pros
  • One of the most user-friendly and trustworthy options. Excellent acoustics I will compare with the HD 595 which I have been using for many years. The bass became fuller and more profound. The layout and the hues have been upgraded.
Cons
  • They made some sort of adjustment to the highs. The sound no longer has the crystalline quality that you enjoy so much in the 595 version. Take a look at the comment.

The quality is at the level, I am satisfied with everything.

The components used to make headphones are of the highest caliber. Very easy to operate with comfort. Playback of audio with exceptionally fine detail. Some of the songs currently being listened to are: 1 AK & Veela - Wake Up. 2. "Slow It Down" by Mads Arp, remixed by Mathilda. Discover by 3 Ridgewalkers featuring EL was given an Andy Moor remix. There are low, mid, and high frequencies present. The sound is lush, perfectly in tune, and beautiful. The level of distinction between…

Pros
  • Sound of the highest quality and materials of the highest quality.

I like it, thanks for the quality product.

Great headphones that have nothing to do with music. Too "salted" top, a lot of noise from the outside. If you want music, buy an amplifier and an external equalizer, or normal headphones. Compared with HD 300 Pro and top fittings. Pros: Excellent appearance, comfortable fit, soft ear pads, 308cm long wire! A decent option for watching movies at home or YouTube. Its cons: The long wire and the general parameters of the headphones give us a high impedance. To put it simply, in a regular player…

No complaints, I recommend to buy.

I took to replace the HD 595 which I bought from my hands and used for several years. Great headphones. Since I dropped and broke my darling, I decided to change the model to a newer and fresher one. When 598 came out, it was Her that I wanted, since the design and characteristics are a complete copy of 595, and this one already has design changes, the sensitivity has become a little less. Everywhere in the reviews and reviews they write that in 598 there are no shortcomings that were in 595…

Pros
  • One of the most convenient and reliable. Good sound. I will compare with the HD 595 which I have been using for many years. Became richer and deeper bass. Design and colors have improved.
Cons
  • They did something with the highs. There is no longer that crystal sound that you like so much in 595. Read the comment.

The product did not cause delight, but you can use it.

As they say, taste and color . Before buying, listen to them. I didn't like the HD 599 so I returned it to the store. Pros below: Very beautiful design. They look stylish. The quality of the materials is wonderful. Soft, fabric ear cushions keep your ears warm and sweaty. The bow is wrapped in nice leather. The plastic feels good too. There is a slight backlash in the left earpiece, but this is only when driving and when listening to music, it is not noticeable. 2 detachable cables of different

Exactly as promised by the manufacturer, high quality.

Only one question bothers me. Japanese Denons sit on the head without the need to spread the headband, while the German ones need to be spread quite a lot! The question is, what do they think about the size of our heads? No common understanding? Pros below: Stunning, noble design! Just Maybach! Sound! You can talk to the household without taking off, if that. Some cons: You can't listen to your other headphones. I sometimes tweak the bass with an equalizer, rarely.

Great quality, did not expect at all for the price.

They became better than 598. Subjectively, they like it more than HD 650 (I compared it with Pioneer U-05, so 650 proved to be more uncomfortable and less bassy). My sound standard for less than $300. Twister Mister, I advise you to buy a normal external DAC, and not this misunderstanding. I had both Phoebus and ZXR - such and such a nightmare. Has pros: These are not headphones. This is Jesus. Compared to the already amazing 598: More solid bass Slightly quieter highs Better grip, more…

In general, there are shortcomings, but the clear sound is pleasant and not annoying like excessive bass . In general, I give a thumbs up for these ears! Its pros: Excellent headphones, last more than a year. On alik you can buy a cord with a microphone for 3.5 jacks for them, such a cord has been serving for more than a year! The sound is great, clean! And the ambroshurs are super, the ears do not sweat. The headphones can hear the whole environment, with boring conversations, you can quietly…

I'm impressed! Exactly the product deserves your attention.

initially the goal was to improve the sound for games and music, I looked at different ears in a budget of 5 to 15 thousand, but due to pandemic reasons, I could not listen to all those that I considered after reading a ton of reviews: 1) beyerdynamic dt 990 pro - the wire is non-replaceable (that is, sewn into the ear itself), this stopped 2) sennheiser HD 650 - too high price well, my 599 senhi. I stopped at 599, took it for 11.500r, they are definitely worth the money, neither at the very…

Pros
  • - in ivory, or ivory - look pompous - an excellent choice for hip-hop, you can not use any equalizers at all, your ears will clearly play everything that sounds in the track, provided that the sound at least comes from the flac format - the comfort of the ears goes off scale, you can sit in them for 5-6 hours in a row, and after 10-20 minutes you forget that you are wearing headphones, all this is because these are open-type ears, velor ear pads . very nice - completeness of delivery - there are 2 cables: 1 cable for 3 meters with an adapter, and 1 cable for 1.2 meters without an adapter - SOUND, if you change to a discrete sound system and want at least the sound that the author of the music put into his work - I highly recommend it - open type of ears (before buying, CAREFULLY STUDY WHAT ARE OPEN AND CLOSED EARS)
Cons
  • - I expected the presence of some kind of scene, but IT IS NOT HERE (for those who are not in the know - the stage is when, when listening, it seems that you are standing in front of the stage and a concert is being played in front of you)

Nothing special, there are positive and negative sides.

I took these headphones to listen to music from my computer, and I was mistaken, since they are more suitable for something else - for movies and games. Too pronounced emphasis on bass, warmth, velvet. It's like a hard and soft suspension on a car. It's too soft here. Yes, you can ride on a soft suspension for hours without experiencing discomfort. But without enjoying the driving dynamics. The sound here is not peppy enough, not energetic enough, not transparent enough, booming. Strong…

Pros
  • The sound is detailed, warm enough (there is a pronounced emphasis on bass). Comfortable fit on the head. Very good for watching movies and for PC. games.
Cons
  • Not musical headphones! Headphones do not sound dynamic. Too dark - a sound with an emphasis on the lower and middle frequencies, which are too warm. There is not enough energy, brightness of the sound, the tops are very decently crushed, although the detail is preserved throughout the entire range. There is also a need for an amplifier.

Do not hesitate to buy, the quality is amazing for the price.

Headphones are made of quality materials. Very comfortable to use. Audio playback in very high quality. Some tracks being listened to: 1 AK & Veela - Wake Up. 2 Mads Arp - Slow It Down (Mathilda Mix) . 3 Ridgewalkers - Find (feat. EL) (Andy Moor Remix) . Low, medium, high frequencies are present. The sound is rich, balanced and harmonious. The detail and separation of tools is high. It is worth recalling that these are open-type headphones. They should be listened to in a quiet room.…

Pros
  • High quality sound, Quality materials.
