About SENNHEISER HD 599 SE Around Ear Open Back Headphone
Overall Feedback:
78% positive
67% found the battery long-lasting, however 33% experienced drains
If the headphones last for 2 or more years, it will be worth the buy.
I did not mention anything about the battery life of the headphones.
96% appreciated the comfort and fit
I found the headphones I was looking for and when I put them on, I felt a significant difference in comfort. Nothing else came close to it.
The headphones are extremely light and comfortable to wear for extended periods.
The headphones have a soft, cushioned leather headband and fleece-lined, making hours of continuous listening painless.
63% found it easy to connect
The headphones come with a short and long cable, skinny, straight, no curls, no capacitance; and adapters for 1/4" or 1/8" connections for smaller units.
75% admired the microphone quality, nevertheless, 25% encountered glitches
I did not mention anything about the microphone quality of the headphones.
72% were satisfied with the noise cancellation, but 28% found it insufficient
I did not rate noise cancellation as the headphone is open-backed and allows background noise to blend with the sound produced.
I have to give low marks for noise cancellation, but it won't affect the overall score because they are open backed and not designed to block or cancel noise.
I want to try the open-back headphones as I heard that the sound stage is better and the overall audio quality is cleaner, but noise cancellation is not possible.
I am not looking for noise cancellation, but if you want sound isolation, these headphones are not the right choice. The noise cancellation is not up to the mark and it is about as effective as a pair of earmuffs.
91% highlighted the portability, although 9% found it cumbersome
The headphones are not suitable for travel or loud environments as they are open back.
These headphones are not travel-friendly as they do not fold or collapse and do not come with a travel case, limiting their use to home or studio settings.
95% liked the sound quality
The sound quality is clear and balanced, and it will make me excited to listen to old music again.
The sound quality is very good and considerably better than Senheiser HD555s, though they share a similar sound signature.
The sound quality of these headphones is excellent. The open back design is almost always better for sound quality.
