Sennheiser launched these headphones for $200 and now they are only $70! For this price it is a great deal. I got my pair for $50 and I use them every day walking from classes in the cold. Pros: Quality design all around! Soft textured metal housing.

Bought these headphones after reviewing a couple other models. First impressions out the box was good but after about 12 hrs of burn in i really heard the bass get more definition and overall sound was better. Tried it on multiple sources including ipad, ipod, sansa clip zip, and my onkyo receiver.

+ Very stylish and extremely comfortable; + High quality build; + Sound very clear and neutral; + Detachable and durable cable

- Requires an amplifier; - No case

The new HD 598's "wow" styling updates the classic Sennheiser look, and the sound has more detail and higher resolution than previous models. We recommend these cans to anyone looking for a pair of headphones with precision sound quality and a wide-open soundstage.

Lightweight German design is extremely comfortable; highly dynamic and detailed sound; 3.5mm headphone plug adapter

No storage case included

This is a pair you need to have before you ears start losing their sensitivity. Technically, much has already been described about the product by other reviewers so I'll skip that part. Aesthetically, this is an open-back headphone that you need to have if you're a music connoisseur.

I would say these are the best head phone's I have ever heard and are so comfortable to listen to for hour's .they are great !!!

Thats my third Senn's, 6th cans overall. The HD598 needed minimum 24 of hours of burning-out before even I could listen to some music. Out of the box bass was simply unacceptable, than after another 36 hrs.

The Sennheiser HD598 phones are an unusual color but they do sound excellent. Any shred of veil is gone now. These phones are lively, have long bass extension, real presence, excellent detail, good sound stage and are very easy to listen to for hours.

It's kind of weird how they're closed headphones, but at the same time have very little portability and pretty satisfactory sound isolation. That being said, for my home use where there's other people constantly doing their own things these work great.

Comfortable; highs; mids; nice soundstage; build quality

Bass; sound leak; not foldable; cable

In the past we've raised an eyebrow at the brave colour choices for headphones, (such as the Phiaton MS300 s' gleaming red finish) but these Sennheisers take things to a whole other level.

Supremely comfortable; rugged build; detailed; well-integrated sound

Is ‘boring' too strong a word?
