Comfort, Style, and Clear Audio

Sennhesier’s HD 5 series will revolutionize the way you listen to music — and the HD 599 tops the series. For instance, these headphones stand ready to offer you near-audiophile level sound thanks to refinements like E.A.R. (ergonomic acoustic refinement), comfortable earpads, and an open-back design that frees the music to really flow. The Sennheiser HD 599 headphones come with a total of two cables to suit any listening situation — one 1/4-inch and one 1/8-inch plug cable. Did we mention they’re also incredibly comfortable? Listen for hours in the comfort of Sennheiser’s headband design and propriety high-end transducer technology. Speaking from our experience here at Sweetwater, you’re going to love them!

Audiophile-level sound quality

Slide the HD 599s over your ears, plug in, and enjoy the music. These headphones provide clear, vibrant audio thanks to Sennheiser’s proprietary transducer system that flies high with rich detail. You'll be treated to impressively natural spatial performance, refined and natural sound, and a powerful bass response to boot. Their premium sound reveals aspects of the music you've never heard before — from soft, whispering vocals to deep rhythmic tolling.

Oh-so comfortable

When Sweetwater tried out the Sennheiser HD 599 headphones for the first time, we were stunned by how comfortable they felt even after hours of listening. The over-ear design not only feeds the audio signal directly into the listener’s ears, but it also serves as a comfortable and ergonomic design. The E.A.R. (ergonomics acoustic alignment) angled drivers are the source of this streamlined feed of clear audio signal. What’s more, users can easily swap out the large, soft ear pads thanks to their replaceable design.

Good DJ headphones

I got this headphones for performing. They are super comfortable and the sound is good quality! Also the design is almost retro - very good looking.They don't isolate the sound completely so they are really convenient for DJing. I can recommend them. My friend customised them for me with crystals so they are one of the kind now ;)

HD 599 Open-back headphones

Great headphones. Very clear clean sound. A lot of bang for your buck

Super Comfortable - sounds great!

I love these heads phones and I normally dont like using them. But these are very comfortable which is a huge part of why I like using them. I wish they had blue tooth - but it's a minor complaint! I would highly recommend them if you need to enjoy casual listening or mixing!
Rated 5/5

Best headphones I've ever had

These are affordable open back headphones that both sound good and are comfortable. I use them while playing a Roland Aerophone. They remain comfortable for long sessions. Being open back, I can hear what is going on around me and hear myself. Wish I brought these a long time ago.
