Sennheiser HD 599 SE Open-Back, Wired Over Ear Headphones, Premium Design, Natural Balanced Audio, Comfortable Fit for Music, Gaming, School, Work, Black: desertcart.co.uk: Musical Instruments & DJ

Review: I used them to mix as a dj excellent overall - These are excellent overall, they have a very long interchangeable cable that is ideal for djing with. The sound is wide, clear and not too bass heavy, I have found it is possible to over power the drivers if pushed too hard but I don't think this is a failing of the headphones but the ability of my gear to put out high levels. Overall a great set of headphones that fit people with larger heads and can be used for reference and studio work. Update JAN 2023 These are still going strong and have become my go to headphones, as someone that uses headphones for extended periods be it for mixing or mastering I have totally fallen in love with these. I've had HD 25 pros and most of the other DJ headphones on the market but none do the job as well as these can do both mastering and DJing. The interchangeable cables are handy as the long version is the 6.8mm and the short is 3.5 mm ( I have since bought a curly 6.8mm for DJing so I do tread on the longer wire ) the ear cups do offer very good isolation and this is what pushes them above the HD25's aswell as the larger size. Overall after nearly a years use they are as responsive, clear and comfortable as the day I received them. Definitely my favourite cans May 2025 Still the Same Cans still well worth the money...... After 3 Years and thousands of hours use they are still going strong !!!! My only complaint is that they don't flex as much as I would like but they do keep their shape exceptionally well ! If you really want to spend loads on headphones then you can but these are without a doubt my work horse cans. I've bought them a carry case and a 2nd curly lead. No doubt the best bang for buck cans I've bought in the last 10 years
Review: Perfect for my needs - First off, I bought these in the desertcart Prime Day sales for £70 which is a total bargain. I would not consider myself an audiophile and if you are then you will probably want to invest more money into your headphones but the quality on these should suit most people. Very clear sound and I've picked up sound that I've never heard before on tracks I listen to often. I found these when looking for open backed headphones, partly because I want to be aware of my surroundings when I'm wearing them and partly so they don't make my ears feel as hot as my older headphones. Another benefit was that they feel more like listening to speakers rather than just being blasted into my ears but that could be personal preference. The open backed nature does mean there is sound leakage, both for you hearing external sound but also others being able to hear your music, so that's something you will need to consider for your usage. Very comfortable to wear for longer periods of time partially due to being lightweight though maybe not as portable as folding headphones would be but I don't need that. Very easy to use, no controls on the headphones so controlled completely through whatever you plug them into. In the box you get a 1.2m cable with a 3.5mm jack plug and a 3m cable with a 6.3mm jack plug, however there is also a 6.3mm to 3.5mm adapter included so you can still use the longer cable with devices that have a 3.5mm socket. The adapter makes the plug quite long so maybe not a great solution if you intend to use it with a portable device like a phone. The leads have a twist and lock mechanism to secure them into the headphones which is fantastic but you will need to be aware of that if you intend to swap over to the 3m cable. Overall, with the considerations I've given above, I would fully recommend these headphones for people wanting wired open back headphones without paying hundreds of pounds. Especially great value if you can pick them up on sale.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the noise cancelling always on, or can you switch it off?**
A: There is no noise cancellation. These are open-back headphones, the very opposite of what you’re looking for. You can hear everything outside the headphones, and others nearby can hear whatever you’re listening to.

**Q: Will these work with sony phones like XZ premuim**
A: This headphone comes with a 6.3 mm to 3.5 mm adaptor and the XZ premium has a 3.5m input so it will work.

**Q: Can I remove the cable currently in the headset? I don't want to try to remove it incase I cause damage.**
A: Yes. Push the connector up the twist to the left then pull down. It can be stiff but shouldn't take to much pressure to remove. I had it come out when I got up and forgot I had them on

**Q: Only left earphone works, any way to fix it please?**
A: Try cleaning the end of the jack plug to ensure a better connection and ensure that the jack plug is pushed fully home. If that doesn't work you may have a faulty unit but I am no expert.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Sound Investment
*by M***T on 17 May 2025*

The Sennheiser HD 599 Special Edition, which you can only find on Amazon (New anyway, other marketplaces have used versions but you can never be sure of the condition they'll arrive in), has an open-back design that's super comfy and fits over your ears really well. These headphones are all about delivering great sound, and you’re going to notice the detail in every tune you play. With a wide frequency range, from a low 12 Hz all the way up to 38,500 Hz, these headphones do a fantastic job of capturing everything from the rumble of bass to the clarity of treble, making them a good choice whether you're into classical, jazz, or acoustic music. When it comes to sound quality, they really shine. It provides a natural and balanced sound that makes you feel like you’re right there in the studio or concert hall. The open-back design means you get a really open and wide soundstage, which makes listening feel more immersive. You’ll hear the bass, but it’s not going to knock you over, which suits genres like classical music and jazz quite well. But if you’re someone who loves deep, booming bass, you might find these headphones a bit lacking in that area. Now, let’s talk comfort and how these headphones are built. Weighing just 250 grams, they’re nice and light, perfect for those longer listening sessions when you just want to enjoy your music without any discomfort. The velvety ear pads and well-padded headband really do make a difference in how they feel when you wear them. They feel solid overall, though they’re made from plastic, which keeps them light but still durable enough for everyday use. You also get two detachable cables with these headphones: a longer 3-meter cable with a 6.3mm jack and a shorter 1.2-meter cable with a 3.5mm jack. This means you can easily hook them up to different devices. The design itself has a sleek black finish that really stands out, especially as a unique spin on the original models, which had a more classic ivory and brown look. While the open-back design does a great job of making the sound feel vast and engaging, just keep in mind that it does allow sound to leak out, so if you’re in a noisy spot, you might not get the full experience. Plus, without any folding hinges or a carrying case, you might find these less convenient to take with you on the go. Here are some quick pros and cons for easy consideration: **Pros:** - The sound is natural and balanced, making it enjoyable for a range of music. - The open-back design creates that spacious soundstage. - They’re lightweight and comfortable, perfect for those extended sessions. - You have detachable cables to match your device needs. - The black finish gives a nice modern look that you won’t find everywhere. **Cons:** - If you're into really heavy bass, you might find these a bit underwhelming. - With the open-back design, you will experience some sound leakage and won’t get much noise isolation. - They don’t have features that make them easy to carry around, like folding hinges or a case. To wrap it up, they are a solid pick if you value a balanced sound and enjoy that spacious listening vibe. They’re very comfy for long listening sessions and look sharp, too. But keep in mind that they might not be the best choice if you’re in a noisy place or really craving those thumping bass lines.
