They do what I want - provide me with a means to enjoy music from the home office receiver early and late without disturbing the rest of the family. They sound great. Certainly the best headphones I've ever had.

Love, Love, Love, These headphones! They fit perfect and are so comfortable, even for long periods of time. I use them to record with and they are great in relaying every detail of the recording. Soft earpieces and a great fit on my large head! Would recommend to anyone looking for a fairly priced headset with expensive sound.

Verified employee review (What's this?)

I would say these are very good head phones in the $250 or under price point. I have only had them a day but, listened to a variety of rock music with them yesterday. Bass is solid in my opinion unless you're in to rap and hip hop. One minor concern is that it seems like they made the cords with thicker wire back in the day. Anyway look forward to more listening and they are very comfortable.

Pros: Good balanced sound with solid bass.

Cons: Could maybe have wider sound stage.

Truly a Hidden Gem

Daniel from Albany, GA on 2/2/2023

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

In the past I have used Sennheiser HD 300s and HD 560S. I was very pleased with them. Then I saw that the HD599 was on sale. The writeup said that it was a hidden gem in the Sennheiser lineup, so I decided to give it a go. I have been extremely pleased with the sound from these headphones. Clear sound while hearing every detail along with adequate bass. They are also the most comfortable headphones I have ever used. The color is a great improvement over the usual black seen on headphones. On top of all that with Crutchfield's I got a competitive price and really great service. The headphones shipped the day I ordered them and arrived soon after due to the Crutchfield practice of using UPS instead of the slow, unreliable "free" shipping used by other sites.

Pros: Clear, bright sound Pleasing color Very comfortable

Cons: None, best phones I have

Stephen from Tucson, AZ on 1/13/2023

Verified employee review (What's this?)

Stunning sonic clarity and depth, just took me getting used to them a bit. My classic Sony MDR V-500 phones were so mid/high-range oriented that my first listen to the Sennheiser's almost sounded muddy. After using the HD599's for several days and going back to the older Sony phones I realized how superior the sound was from the 599's. VERY happy with my purchase and technical advice/help from the Crutchfield staff

Pros: Super comfortable/subtle clarity and balanced sonics.

Cons: A bit pricey but worth it.

Perfect for my needs!

Mark from Durham, NC on 11/16/2022

Verified employee review (What's this?)

I had an older pair of Sennheiser's (HD555) that I loved but were falling apart. I did a lot of searching and decided that these 599's were the right balance of price, reviews, and impedence as I'd be using my phone as a primary music source. In hindsight , impedence wasn't so important as I added a headphone Amp layer. But, I really like the sound of open back headphones. The HD599 is simply an awesome headphone! My audio sources (Pandora, Spotify, YouTube) aren't audiophile-quality and so I could not justify spending more money. I am thrilled with this purchase. If you need totally quiet, noise canceling headphones- these aren't it. But these were exactly what I wanted for my needs.

Crutchfield customer from Hummelstown, PA on 3/30/2022

Verified employee review (What's this?)

The over-the-ear, open back design is exactly what I wanted. Because I planned to use them in a home environment I picked these, which allow me to hear ambient sounds while also still being immersed in very natural and clear music. The large ear cups and soft ear pads are great for long-term usage and are so comfortable that sometimes I forget I am using them.

Pros: Comfort Sound quality

Cons:

As a big fan of Sennheiser headphones ( I own many ) there are 2 main reasons I love them. The sound fits the eclectic music I listen to and the HD599 does not disappoint.The sound is very colorful compared to my neutral HD600. Great bass for an open back headphone. The second reason is the fit. I have a larger head and the only manufacturers that are comfortable are Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic and AKG. Oh, thanks to Crutchfield for the 2 day shipping as its becoming very rare.

Pros: Comfort, sound, great bass for open back headphones

Cons: The shorter included cable should be a little more robust. It's hard to keep there cable straight

I received these 2 days ago. This is the third set of Sennheiser headphones I've owned in the past 45 years. Like the previous two sets I've owned these are very comfortable and have fantastic sound. I'm really impressed with how their sound is so similar to my speakers. These are just the thing for late night listening without disturbing the neighbors.

Pros: Comfortable, great sound. Reasonable Price

Cons: None to speak of.

Crutchfield customer from Atlanta, GA on 8/10/2020

Verified employee review (What's this?)

I waited a few weeks to write this review until I had used them for a while. I really like these headphones. My main objectives were comfort and good sound. These are by far the most comfortable headphones I have ever worn, especially when listening for a few hours. The ear cups are very large surrounding the ears, and they are a velvet-like material vs. the usual fake leather material (which makes my ears sweat). The sound is terrific. The treble is crisp and the bass is solid but subtle (not "boomy"). My only small complaint, which isn't a big deal really, is that I wish the detachable cable wasn't proprietary (you must use a Sennheiser cable). I consider these headphones moderately priced headphones and a good value as well as comfortable and very good sounding headphones.

Pros:

Cons:

Oh My!

Richard from Rancho Cucamonga, CA on 6/19/2020

I'm going to give the HD599's 5 stars. Because they're the best headphones ever? No. Because they're ultra comfortable and sound fantastic for phones in this price range. I put on Billy Joel's "New York State of Mind" and was very impressed. The piano sounds like it's in the room, the strings rich and full, the sax solo is sweet and soulful, the bass is rock solid and Joel's vocals sound so clear you can almost see the pores in it. Put on Oingo Boingo's "Weird Science" and your senses will be pummeled by relentless three dimensional insanity just the way Danny Elfman intended. They are fairly unforgiving in that a bad recording will sound like a bad recording and the HD599's aren't shy about letting you know. Once you get the EQ dialed in they way you like it these phones will put a grin on your face your wife just won't understand. The build is plastic, but they're solid, well built and don't feel cheap. Are they intended for the road? No. Which is why they don't come with a case. Get another pair of phones for the gym, or to take jogging, or for the subway. These cans belong at home right along side your music collection.

Pros: Sound wonderful. Beautifully comfortable for hours of music or gaming without fatigue.

Cons: Only complaint is; I wish they came with better cords, but you can get better cords online from third party vendors if you really want them.

I have a pair of HD558 at the office..and needed something for the home. After looking at a lot of different options I thought..why I am trying to reinvent the wheel...those are a great pair and these HD599 keep the magic. With just a few tweaks to improve on an already great pair of comfortable..I repeat super comfortable headphones..I am loving my new HD599. Highly recommended.

Pros: Price, comfort

Cons: They are open back headphones, if that's a con for you..it's a pro for me cuz it allows them to breathe. Great for wearing all day.

Average sound IMO

Michael from Lake City, FL on 11/4/2017

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

I ordered these to replace a set of 15 to 20 year old HD545s. To me, they were not as good. Seemed more flimsy, construction-wise. The sound was not bad, but not as good as my old 545. And they were comfortable. They did work well with my Pro-ject Headbox (also from Crutchfield). But I just couldn't pull the trigger. The folks at Crutchfield were really great about taking them back. No hassles, and emailed me the shipping label. I give Crutchfield 5 Stars for their support. I ordered a more expensive, different brand/model, instead.

Pros: Comfortable and light.

Cons: Only average sound quality. Not bad, but not first rate. That's a subjective thing, though. Maybe it's about par in this price range, I can't say.

These Sennheiser 599 headphones are very good. I ordered them late one day and received them the next! Great service! My only complaint is that one day after receiving them I saw them on another site for less! I have never been so disappointed with Crutchfield ??

Cons: The $$ price!

Superb sound from a common model

Pedro from San Juan, PR on 2/4/2017

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

I am surprised with these headphones. I never thought that at this price a good headphone has such a good quality audio. These are my best bass sounding headphones, and they are very balanced from bass to high trebble. I also own the more expensive HD800 and these, being also Sennheiser, can be compared as a second in order. The HD800 are bright and don't yield such powerful bass tones. These are very warm but clear and very nice to hear for long periods. I also find them very comfortable. One could complain that they have plastic in almost every part of them, but considering their audio quality and sound reproduction, they are fine to keep them very carefully. It's true that they have fragile plastic parts, and that has to be considered for those who demand a tough product. Let me add here that Grados, Senn HD800 and almost every expensive brands have plastic parts on them, something that even me regrets. But, their sound are OK for me.

Pros: The audio quality is very professional.

Cons: Many plastic parts.
