The Sennheiser HD 599 is an open-back, over-ear wired headphone in ivory with 38mm E.A.R. drivers, a 50Ω impedance and a 250g weight. It suits home listeners who want a light open-back Sennheiser for long sessions at a desk or on the couch.
Who the Sennheiser HD 599 is for
Home listening: The open-back, over-ear build and Sennheiser's E.A.R. transducer design are aimed at what Sennheiser calls impressively natural spatial performance.
Long sessions: At 250g with large ear cups and soft, replaceable ear pads, it is designed so there is no pressure on your ears, according to Sennheiser.
Switching sources: Detachable cabling covers both 3.5mm and 6.35mm (1/4-inch) jacks, so it moves between a laptop, a DAC/amp and a home receiver.
Design-minded buyers: The ivory finish pairs brown stitching on the headband with matte metallic detailing on the ear cups and headband.
Skip it if: you need isolation: the open-back cups let sound in and out, so it is a poor fit for commutes, shared offices or recording near a mic.
