EDIT: kupiłem drugi egz i prawa słuchawka gra nieco ciszej, widziałem w opiniach że inni też tak czasem trafiali. Zastanawiam się czy nie zwrócić :/ w pierwszej parze tego nie było…
Nie jestem audiofilem ale do muzyki i filmów super i wygodne, aispodsy pro uważałem za w miarę wygodne bo wytrzymywałem dwa odcinki serialu ale te są wręcz nieinwazyjne. Osób które piszą że za ciche nie pojmuję (może potrzebują laryngologa), na goło wpięte w wyjście Macbooka i ja nie wytrzymuje więcej niż na połowę głośności, są bardzo głośne.

These are not as neutral as they can be. Vocals are more tweaked in songs with these headphones so songs become more memorable in your head, getting stuck. Vocals seem more emotionally grabbing. I like this part, but it comes with flaws. Some other sounds don’t sound as good as they can in other more neutral headphones. You can figure that out by trying other headphones.
Songs, movies, games can sound pretty airy with openness. It’s the kind of illusion these headphones create with sound, which I have been in awe with for 5+ yrs.
I am not sure if buying headphones this expensive is worth it tho. Even after the good things these do, they still lack a mic and are wired, plus these cost 9k+. Hmm.

Well after falling in all the hype about combining a capable enough dsp dac amp with an open back headphone a person is propelled into a world of blissful surround sounds i decided to try this hands down once and for all.
After about half an hour of burning the headphones in with some 24bit Flac songs i went ahead to test it.
Played multiple songs and movies via the Walkman , X3 amp , Note 9 phone.
First impressions:
Build : The build quality is excellent, it’s all plastic that seems like it is made to last and keep it light for comfort. The mechanism also feels reliable.
So 5/5
Comfort:
Very good , not fatigued after 1 hour , No unwarranted peaks in any frequencies.
Its winters here in the north so it also doubled up as a scarf insulating my ears from the peircing cold.
Sound isolation:
Well what would one expect from an open back , it’s terrible.
But it is what it is.
You have to be alone and in a quite environment to listen to these.
Sound will leak both ways.
Package contents:
Well the box that comes with it is unimpressive, it is a waste like soft cardboard box which is labeled as “frustration free” packaging, it’s all nonsense.
If it was a good quality box one would use it to keep the headphones after use safely,and won’t throw it away.
No i will have to purchase a headphone case adding more to the environmental damage.
You get two cables one being a 6mm and one 3.5mm with a 6mm to3.5mm converter plug.
Sennheiser took good care in that area.
Sound :
Well i come from using the following in order of magnitude
Most vintage models of Sony tape walkman headphones and earphones
Mdr xb 60ex
Mdr xb500
Mdr xb 90ex
Mdr xb 75ap ( Skull rattler )
Mdr ex220
Asus rog headset
Xba H3 ( My personal favorite in all areas )
Shure se 846 ( Skull breaker , My almost perfect set but gets beaten in High frequency department)
As you can see there is only two over the ear headphones.
Now i have always been disappointed by the music of over the head headphones due to lack of proper Isolation and driver limitations.
Being my first open back This HD559 is no different to closed back in music department.
Music coming out of it is unimpressive , you get almost no proper bass rumbles in the tracks that have them but maybe it’s my fault.
(more on that later).
The soundstage although quite good does not impress you enough to warrant the sacrifice in sound isolation and lower frequencies.
Sometimes some songs get tinny and empty, sometimes they come out good but never great.
Apart from that i maybe wrong with my eqs and settings i will update after a week of listening.
Movies : WTF
This has blown all my in ear headphones far away , nothing comes close to the immersive theater like experience while pairing it with the X3 amp and switching on the xfi.
You are instantly placed in a premium position of a proper dts tuned theater seat.
All the action is all around you and dialog of the actors are clear and crisp even during intense explosions and gunfire.
Things are properly imaged bodies dropping to the ground , bullets whirring past you thunders in the sky everything is represented perfectly.
Imaging is more vertical than horizontal.
Now the bass : While the music had no bass on it , on movies while on xfi turned on the bass reaches skull rattling levels without getting distorted or overlapping any other frequencies.
It is unreal and brings a huge smile on your face and the only reason i did not return these back.
The explosions shake you bullets fired seem real , thunders are near to being real.
For movies this is the ultimate solution for me the END GAME so to say.
Haven’t tested it yet on games but have heard quite a praise for them in that regard.
Conclusion:
These mysterious headphones struggle to pump up the proper bass notes on music but will pummel your head in movies.
Maybe i am doing something wrong on my amp but i have tried to bring it on the music by various ways.
The world shattering bass is there waiting to be unleashed but with mysterious ways.
The mids are perfect for both Male and females all the frequencies are present and quite powerful.
The highs are a bit laid back and roll off at the highest levels quite quickly , whenever you will need them desperately they will bail out on you.
But overall they are fine.
Is it worth the money ?.
For movies absolutely. 100%
For music Maybe
For games , haven’t tested yet but i am confident they will excel in that department.
Very good product.
Highly satisfied.

I have owned several sennheiser headphones and IEMs, including open back headphones like HD238 and HD560s, i can clearly say that these HD599 SE are better than both of them in terms of mids performance. Listening to vocals on these is an absolute treat. Although these do fall behind HD560s in terms of overall soundstage and instrument separation, but they are still far more enjoyable than the reference grade HD560s because of their mids emphasised sound profile unlike the relatively neutral profile of the HD560s.
HD599SE pros:
– warm and smooth mids(vocals)
– nice sound imaging
– sennheiser natural timber
– decent and clear treble
– can be easily driven by my iphone12
– awesome comfort
HD599SE cons:
– bass rolls off a bit too much
– lower mids region feels blending with bass at times
– build quality could have been better
Overall its a great value headphone with true sennheiser sound.

Nie dla gracza, czy do rozmów. Do spokojnego słuchania muzyki w domu lub innym dość cichym miejscu. Słuchawki otwarte więc przepuszczają dźwięki z zewnątrz jak i same grają lekko na zewnątrz. Dość dobrze zbalansowane i neutralne jak na tą cenę. Pewnie znalazłoby się słuchawki bardziej neutralne w tym zakresie cenowym acz mnie ich brzmienie przekonuje – podoba mi się brzmienie Zenków. Najlepiej sprawdzają się na muzyce poważnej, jazzie, bluesie, country oraz klasycznym roku. Nowoczesna elektronika, drum’n’bass, metal czy ostry rock już wymaga dopalacza poprzez odpowiedni wzmacniacz lub po prostu użycia innych słuchawek. U mnie grają bardzo przyzwoicie z Walkmanem A105 i przy odsłuchu szerokopojętej klasyki nie wymagają dodatkowego wspomagania jak już np Beyerdynamiki DT990 z tej samej półki cenowej. Zresztą trudno te słuchawki porównywać. DT990 to jednak słuchawki referencyjne do studia a te 599 to raczej do domu aby cieszyć się że ładnie gra. Podoba mi się też czarna wersja kolorystyczna dostępna na Amazonie bo te sklepowe brązy i beże jakoś mnie nie przekonują.

Minha sensação primária é de que eu nunca tinha ouvido música corretamente. Esse fone é simplesmente magnífico.

I used them for two months.
I will update this review if needed.
The audio quality is high.
The comfort is high for a couple of hours, after which it hurts the ears a bit.

IF YOU ARE AN AUDIOPHILE THEN YOU CAN GO FOR THIS .NEVER EXPECT BOOMING BASS FOR THIS ONE ,AS I SAY THIS IS FOR MONITORS AND CREATORS, THAT CAN HEAR THE ACTUAL HARP SOUND FROM THE CREATORS.
BUILD QUALITY-:
YOU CAN RELY ON THEM ,MAYBE YOU SHOULD REPLACE THE EARPADS UPTO THE INTERVALS AS IT IS FOAMY ONES.GOOD QUALITY ABS PLASTICS.CABLES ARE SOMEWHAT TANGLING,BUT DON’T WORRY REPLACE THEM WITH A COILED CABLE AS OF WITH AUDIO TECHNICA.ITS TYPE IS 2.5 BALANCE OUTPUT TO 3MM JACK.ENSURE THE LOCKING OF CABLE BY TWISTING IT INTO THE HEADSET JACK.PROTECT IT WITH CARRY POUCH.
SOUND QUALITY-:
THE SAME AS OF THE STUDIO QUALITY,BUT SOUND NATURE DEPENDS UPON YOUR MOBILE SETS OR THE AUDIO SOURCE.BEATS TO THE PEAK IF YOU ARE USING DACS OR AMPS AND YOU CAN INCREASE THE OUTPUT WITH NO DISTORTIONS AT ALL AS ITS DRIVER IS NEODYMIUM.BASS IS NOT THE BOSS, CLEAR AND CRISPIEST TO THE PEAK.
COMFORT AND PORTABILITY-:
AS I SAY IT’S FOR AUDIOPHILES..FOR THAT ITS BIGGER IN SIZE FOR ITS PURPOSE AND NOT FOLDABLE.DEFINITELY YOU NEED A ADAPTIVE POUCH FOR THIS ONE .FOR COMFORT I ASSURE YOU THAT YOU CAN LISTEN UPTO HOURS…WITH NO DISTRACTIONS OR PAIN.
THANK YOU SENNHEISER FOR THE HD 599SE EDITION AS ITS AFFORDABLE THAT TO THE IVORY EDITION AS ITS DIFFER IN COLOUR ONLY.
