Review: Mysterious is music , Movies will blow you away. - Well after falling in all the hype about combining a capable enough dsp dac amp with an open back headphone a person is propelled into a world of blissful surround sounds i decided to try this hands down once and for all. After about half an hour of burning the headphones in with some 24bit Flac songs i went ahead to test it. Played multiple songs and movies via the Walkman , X3 amp , Note 9 phone. First impressions: Build : The build quality is excellent, it's all plastic that seems like it is made to last and keep it light for comfort. The mechanism also feels reliable. So 5/5 Comfort: Very good , not fatigued after 1 hour , No unwarranted peaks in any frequencies. Its winters here in the north so it also doubled up as a scarf insulating my ears from the peircing cold. Sound isolation: Well what would one expect from an open back , it's terrible. But it is what it is. You have to be alone and in a quite environment to listen to these. Sound will leak both ways. Package contents: Well the box that comes with it is unimpressive, it is a waste like soft cardboard box which is labeled as "frustration free" packaging, it's all nonsense. If it was a good quality box one would use it to keep the headphones after use safely,and won't throw it away. No i will have to purchase a headphone case adding more to the environmental damage. You get two cables one being a 6mm and one 3.5mm with a 6mm to3.5mm converter plug. Sennheiser took good care in that area. Sound : Well i come from using the following in order of magnitude Most vintage models of Sony tape walkman headphones and earphones Mdr xb 60ex Mdr xb500 Mdr xb 90ex Mdr xb 75ap ( Skull rattler ) Mdr ex220 Asus rog headset Xba H3 ( My personal favorite in all areas ) Shure se 846 ( Skull breaker , My almost perfect set but gets beaten in High frequency department) As you can see there is only two over the ear headphones. Now i have always been disappointed by the music of over the head headphones due to lack of proper Isolation and driver limitations. Being my first open back This HD559 is no different to closed back in music department. Music coming out of it is unimpressive , you get almost no proper bass rumbles in the tracks that have them but maybe it's my fault. (more on that later). The soundstage although quite good does not impress you enough to warrant the sacrifice in sound isolation and lower frequencies. Sometimes some songs get tinny and empty, sometimes they come out good but never great. Apart from that i maybe wrong with my eqs and settings i will update after a week of listening. Movies : WTF This has blown all my in ear headphones far away , nothing comes close to the immersive theater like experience while pairing it with the X3 amp and switching on the xfi. You are instantly placed in a premium position of a proper dts tuned theater seat. All the action is all around you and dialog of the actors are clear and crisp even during intense explosions and gunfire. Things are properly imaged bodies dropping to the ground , bullets whirring past you thunders in the sky everything is represented perfectly. Imaging is more vertical than horizontal. Now the bass : While the music had no bass on it , on movies while on xfi turned on the bass reaches skull rattling levels without getting distorted or overlapping any other frequencies. It is unreal and brings a huge smile on your face and the only reason i did not return these back. The explosions shake you bullets fired seem real , thunders are near to being real. For movies this is the ultimate solution for me the END GAME so to say. Haven't tested it yet on games but have heard quite a praise for them in that regard. Conclusion: These mysterious headphones struggle to pump up the proper bass notes on music but will pummel your head in movies. Maybe i am doing something wrong on my amp but i have tried to bring it on the music by various ways. The world shattering bass is there waiting to be unleashed but with mysterious ways. The mids are perfect for both Male and females all the frequencies are present and quite powerful. The highs are a bit laid back and roll off at the highest levels quite quickly , whenever you will need them desperately they will bail out on you. But overall they are fine. Is it worth the money ?. For movies absolutely. 100% For music Maybe For games , haven't tested yet but i am confident they will excel in that department. Very good product. Highly satisfied. Review: Outstanding beginners audiophile headphones - Excellent beginners audiophile headphones. Sound quality: Because of the open-back mesh design, audio feels remarkably spacious, with excellent instrument separation that mimics listening to a real room of musicians rather than headphones. Comfortable for long music sessions. I have paired it with the Audiocular Aura dac and use the My Audiocular app on the phone. I have set the Equalizer settings based on the Oratory1990 settings for the HD599. Outstanding music quality and I was able to listen to actual instruments in the background. Must listen to Hotel California the acoustic version (Hell freezes over) to understand what I am saying. Or time by Pink Floyd. ## Features - Sennheiser's unique sensor technology: The sensor technology developed by Sennheiser with "Ergonomic Acoustic Refinement" design (E.A.R.) send audio signal directly to your ears - At the top of the Sennheiser's 500 series, this full-size earphone features close to audiophile sound quality and exceptional comfort thanks to the large caps and soft interchangeable pads - The HD 599 SE features an acoustic open over-ear design. - Modern design: The modern design is both attractive and ergonomic.

Sound quality: Because of the open-back mesh design, audio feels remarkably spacious, with excellent instrument separation that mimics listening to a real room of musicians rather than headphones. Comfortable for long music sessions. I have paired it with the Audiocular Aura dac and use the My Audiocular app on the phone. I have set the Equalizer settings based on the Oratory1990 settings for the HD599. Outstanding music quality and I was able to listen to actual instruments in the background. Must listen to Hotel California the acoustic version (Hell freezes over) to understand what I am saying. Or time by Pink Floyd. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Can't describe in one line. You need to listen yourself to enjoy the experience. More infor *by P***R on 11 June 2021* You will feel every detail of music. Comfort and can wear for longer duration. As it is open back you must listen in quite environment or the experience isn't good(even ceiling fan noise can degrade the quality) . When in a quiet room you can enjoy listening to music. Trust me once you listened anything with these you will regret if going back to anything else. Below stuff for people who knows about much about the audio. Imaging is straight. Surround doesn't go out of the cans. Don't except to rotate around head. It will just rotate around cans. Audio source must be of good quality. If you use any bad audio source or low quality source, you will listen to bad music construction. Audio is somewhat slow I must say, may because of digital filter or maybe I listened to some other thinner diaphgram audio headsets. Bass is exactly as enough. If you want the dynamics you might need to change the ear cups with leather or some synthetics type because earcups that comes with these are velvet kind. Needs to change eq to reduce some bands. Better to follow some youtube's top reviewers regarding this device. They still aren't flat signature. Some bass and trebles are emphasised. Amp/DAC is necessary when you need to listen in higher volumes orelse it is not necessary. If you have lg's quad DAC kind of thing then it's great, no need to buy any kind of amps. If not then you might needed when listening at higher volumes. Edit: after some listening hours, burn in, and reviews from top audiophile websites I came to know that these have manufacturing defects. Like they all doesn't a like. Some have deeper bass and higher trebles while Mids focused in front. Someother will be having less bass, less trebles while Mids wider away towards front. Guess every headsets of this model didn't manufactured a like. Please looks into this before purchasing. Also they will get open and better after some burn in hours. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/142454267-hd-599-se](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/142454267-hd-599-se) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-09-03*
