There’s another less violent car honk 12 seconds before the second one btw

Also a car honk at 7:46
Despite their narrow soundstage, the 599's are my go to multiplayer gaming because they image so well. 100% agreed on their brutal honesty but that's why I find them to be quite brilliant for mixing and mastering.
Narrow soundstage is something that sounds like a ''closed-back'' headphone? I just hate anything closing my ear to the sound. Or the sound is just too much precise and seem close to the ear?
wait a minute, they closed off the soundstage?
Competitive fps??
I have owned 598 for couple of years now and even after trying many other (possibly even better) headphones during that time i still love the way they sound. They will always have a specific place in my heart no matter what happens.
Wish I didn't sell them honestly. Really want to try them out for comp games again.
Same here, owner of a 598 for 5 years now, tried a bunch of different headphones but I keep getting back to them, something about the balanced sound signature, great sound stage and great comfort!!!
The 598 introduced me to the world of open backs. I've used them a lot so I'm used to their sound signature so it doesn't blow me away as it did before. But I still remember the day I put them on my head and it gave me a new perspective on how music could sound like with open backs. It still holds a special place in my heart.
@@DMN3901 I just got one second hand and in good state. You might have to look on the internet too. They are available here and there. Good luck!
Just got my HD559, boy you weren't lying when you said thump'n bass.
that link for 589 is perfect ;-)
lol hahahahah
how?

Ive been waiting this kind of video for centuries THANK GOD Z BLESS YO SOUL!!!
I love how small your room is and you still use it to your advantage to fill your room with items
I'm laughing my ass off here, cause I think you've been saying you've had to return those tubes for like 6 months.
so true haha
Where is HD 595???
Well, just recently got my beige/brown 598s. Tested on a few people, and no matter what they own or listen to - "No one hates the 598s".
Agree, I use my 598 daily at work and I've the 600, 6xx at home. I really like the sound of the 598 when I'm working. (I also agree the 598cs suck, it is really bad)
Specimen021. That's because they're beige / brown of course !!!
I'm listening to the Bloody Sennheiser Massacre for the second time. This time on my shiny new 599. And wouldn't it be on the lighter side of irony if I bought them from Amazon via Z's site? lol. It takes about a month or two (for slow learners) to realize they've just begun to explore the pure genius that is Z! Very entertaining! I buy stuff he cons me into. It's like the back of the next cereal box. I gotta have that, before he causes a disruption of the force. But then I also go and buy something he truly hates! (Most guilty, Amazon prime day's). #1, I suspect he mostly hates the company, and is just using their products against them. Bold move! Ya gotta applaud that. Z's a gambler. All the other companies got the message loud and clear. DON'T PISS Z OFF!
Bonus: We got way more than sounds good here's the other pads and stuff you need. My God he even wrote stuff down! Your Honor, I have presented all the factual evidence. Everything this company sells is crap. Except the cheapest model. Perhaps I could regift that to someone I don't like. But damnit, even knowing it's just a performance, you fucking can't help but love this guy! He makes you laugh! You have to be an entertainer to do that. And he is stellar at that!
@M.D what do you recommned for me ? 599 or 598
I already have a perfect setup for my tastes, yet I still watch all the reviews.
I might need an audio intervention, haha.
Another hobby. that sucks all your money away.
I have the 599's and yes, that was a very accurate description, they are pretty unforgiving, anything that's not well recorded will hurt you. You will hate some of your tracks for that. But otherwhise, they're quite nice.
Plus they're excellent for gaming :)
it will be better than other gamING headsets? hyperx or smth

So not good for black metal then, fuck xD
@@cryax3447 be kvlt and enjoy the pain.
Competitive fps?
The most fun review of all time, I just kept it playing along while browsing the web it was like a great podcast sort of thing!
I guess this explains why I get fatigued with my old 599s. I love em but sometimes I just can't deal. Meanwhile, I spent all night with some cheap bluetooth headphones on while I rebuilt a couple computers, and I'm chillin because they aren't all up in my shit. Appreciate your helping me understand wtf is going on.
Bought the 599 SE's off of Amazon and they're literally the best headphones I've ever used
What headphones have you used?
@@Gilaric 599 SE's
So, 9 months later. How have they been? I just bought them, and they're my first "audiophile" headphones. I'm weary, because this guy makes them seem not too great. I wish I could actually try them without buying them, but I guess I could send them back through Amazon.
I'm going to purchase 599. I wont regret right?
PX/PMX 95 much better sounding
I had 558's for the longest time and you don't even notice you are wearing them.
have 558's and the 598's and my daughter constantly bugs me for the 558's because they have the valuer pads and headband and hates the band on the 598's.. sound doesn't matter much when your playing minecraft lol

@@azthetical2980 so true
Aw yeah that's gonna be great
E: aaaaaand RIP 598's
All these months i Didnt get HD 569 because i Trust Z for every review... Most headphones that i bought are approved by him... And randomly i heard them on a Friend ... I place an order the Next Day .... These HD 569 are amazing and are next to my my loved HD 600 and HD 660s ... i found a closed back Headphone that is warm and easy to listen at nights .
Personally love my Hd 569 maybe even more so than the hd 6xx
I've had the HD569 since they came out, and they aren't half bad, but I wouldn't dare to compare them with my HD600. They're actually good, but they're not THAT good. the real issue though is in the padding, it definitely looks fancier but it keeps crumbling to dust like it often happens with cheaper headphones, I got new genuine pads a few times and noticed that they also sound much better with the very first pads I had after I completely peeled them off, so it might be worth trying pads of different brands and materials, since that fancy material they use seems to affect the sound very negatively.
@@Zucr_ are the hd 569 have a good soundstage?
@@2ka27fahridwikuncoro2 Can't really say I haven't heard them in a while since I let my dad "borrow" them. I don't remember it standing out as bad in that regard though, so probable decent at least.
I also bought a pair of HD569's and at first I thought they sounded strange, but then I got used to them. They are a somewhat muddy sounding headphone but you get used to it pretty quickly and then you start to like them. They have powerful bass, not as punchy as other models but still pretty good for the price. The earpads are very comfortable, but they disentegrate after moderate use. Good then Sennehiser sells replacement pads...can someone say planned obsolescence?
For portable use, the 598Cs make the most sense actually. They need less power to run so anything can power them (cheap DAPs or smartphones), and yet they remain fairly neutral.
Cqef With their harshness, I'd rather go for something like the m40s if I wanted easy-to-drive neutral headphones that also have some facet of portability to them. (iirc they can turn 90 degrees).
I repeat what Ive seen in some comments below. HD 569 and 598 are exactly the same headphone and both quite good in my modest opinion. Almost every review Ive seen says they are possibly the best for the money at least in my country. And personally I enjoy them more than the Pro 82 (or M40s) that I returned because I think these sound better.
How do they compare to 1More Triple driver? I would like to try them out
i love my 598's they have a different sound signature which I enjoy.
Great vid by the way...Thanks!
It's weird how he didn't remember that Sennheiser actually can make good closed-back headphones - he found out himself reviewing the Momentums.
Hd25 is also good
They almost certainly skipped 589 to avoid confusion with the 580. They came out before Sennheiser adopted their current multiples of 100 classification system, but are still popular enough to necessitate reserving the 58* moniker.
I heard HD 58x is saying hello, lol.
I have ALL the Sennheiser up to the hd700, and up to this day the pc360 "head"sets are my goto for almost everything. They just hear and feel good for me! Amazing clarity, wide soundstage but not too wide (like 598s wide). They are basically tuned 558s, but they did great with them. But i just bought the 559s, they are available here for 59€ atm with taxes! Good price!
To everyone watching this and having doubts about buying the Sennheiser HD599: I do not regret my decision one bit! I want to point out a few things: I bought them AFTER I watched this video, so I am not in denial. Also really important: I am not in any way more experienced than the guy whose channel this is, I am merely stating this from a buyers' point of view. That being said, I want to let you know what I am using these for: I am a musician who was looking for a good pair of headphones as a reference for mixing and recording as well as listening to music (mostly guitar-driven music, but also almost every other genre) and gaming. These do all of these things very well. They were uncomfortable at the beginning (I am wearing glasses), however after just a few days I got used to them and now the fit perfectly. Absolutely zero problems here. Now, I am sure you could get more for your money (I paid 150 Euros/Dollars for these), but these were close to me, so I went for it. I also discovered a VST plug-in called Toneboosters Morphit, in which you can flatten the frequency response of the headphones, because the plug-in counters the frequency of the HD599 (there are of course other models to choose from). With this in combination I am very satisfied with my purchase! Once again, this is only meant as a personal opinion, not in any way as a negativity towards the reviewer here! Sennheiser HD599 works for me in all aspects!
Thanks for the tip. I got the 599s today for mixing or sound design done late at night. I'll try the toneboosters plugin.
I tried a pair of hd598s a couple years back and even among many other headphones ranging from $50 to $700 dollars they were by far my favourites. However, I didn't buy them at the time since I just bought the sennheiser ie80's (gotta let your wallet recharge lol)
Unfortunately, now you can't find them anywhere except second-hand off ebay, and I'd rather have a new pair. I don't really want the 599s either because he's saying they sound harsher, and imo the 598s look marginally better too ( i actually like the colour scheme) . I want the exact sound I heard but if I have to get the 599s I will. gonna search a little harder first though.
Maybe you had a defunct HD 569 or maybe your ears are vastly different than mine, but I have the 569, 599 and 600, and the 569 is definitely on par with the other two. The sound is in no way or shape 'mono' as you described it. The imaging is quite good and the frequency response is very flavored, focused on the middle range and not boring.
InnerFidelity review was better. 569 good headphones.🎧
Fantastic sounding headphones and so comfy. This guys review was so way off with these. NIN never sounded better.
Well yes i do agree that you hear differently because comparing 569 as on par with the 600 is not even on the same level.
Please do this with cheap closed backs i.e. retros, m40x etc.
m40x have durability issues think. i was gonna buy them for my bro but there was too many bad amazon reviews
are you sure thats going to work long term?
as ad I’ve had them for 2 years and a half now haven’t been treating them so well but they’ve hold up amazingly
I've abused (cable yanked, fell to the floor, threw it against the wall, etc) mine for more than 4 years now and didn't bother doing all the fixing and modding. Still works until now. The pads are a little worn, though, and is starting to flake. But I had them replaced with HM5s just a couple of days ago.
as ad 4.6 stars out of 682 reviews.. You call that bad?
God those Telefunkens are an eyesore.
Gotta agreeWith a comment down below that the HD 569 is a good sounding headphone.I guess we all hear different things and like different things.
I keep reading that and wonder if it is me or this PARTICULAR set of 569.. They is nasty.
@@ZReviews Please dude, dont change to the likes of Marques Brownlee etc..You are authentic and original and just real...a real guy in a room connecting to us almost like pewds dammit...but differently. Just stay real
Thanks to your video I got the 559. I love it. The sound is amazing with monoprise spark and the comfort is out of the worl. What’s the next version that has similar sound and comfort
I use the 579's and GSX 1000 for my PC gaming, and love them.
I will also agree about the 598c. I started with those (after owning the Astro A40s for YEARS). They felt really hollow, it didn't impress me. I watched a few videos and bought the Fidelio X2s, and still use them as my daily driver today. I sold the 598cs
Yea i got a pair of the X1's myself and they are just fun
Found a pair of Fidelio X2 at Guitar Center next to where I work for 295 and they are my now go to gaming cans.
No 598s 😢......
I like the 569's best. The others are more uniform sound profile. 69's have a slightly more forward vocal which I like. I have my 1 more triple driver for that uniform presentation. I like the different sound profile of the 69's which do have the best overall mid and bass in my opinion. The truth is I like them all, but based on the 12 headphones in my portfolio I choose the 569's hands down. Also, spec wise has best frequency range and SPL output.
Aldo for those looking into these. You don't need an amp to drive them. But an amp does wake them up.
Just bought the HD559 because of this video
are confortable?
Got the 559's in germany when i was on tour with my band a few weeks ago.. Not dissapointed at all and at 78 euros.. i think they were a steal.They sound very good powered by my lg v20 quad dac. thanx Zeus... metal sounds good on these ;)
Thank you Zeos. I had the 569, 598cs (which I had been led to believe was a restyled 569) and Ricardo’s sitting in my shopping cart, waiting for bravery, funds, or a sale I couldn’t say no to. I just removed two of them!
The 559 is the overall best value and sound. But on the sound demo (link in descriprion) the 598 sounded better to me. Here in Slovakia the 559 are 88eur and the 598 are 177eur. Its a no brainer...you just get two 559s and gift the other :)
I gather there's no HD58* series because the HD580 Jubilee was the predecessor to the HD600 and they don't want to confuse the series.
My experience with HD 559 (coming from gaming headsets and i had no experience with Sennheiser before). I red like half of internet trying to convince myself that this purchase is right choice. I never had open back headphones as well.
First day i plugged them in lap top and reaction was ""So this is it?" i immediately
thought i need dac/amp. I felt sceptic for first 2 days and little disappointed. I do listen most music but i like electronic the most (not commercial crap with two tones and bass) but deep stuff with a lot of details.
They are loud even more than i would like in my average laptop but i felt sceptic about sound. Once i got used to them after 3 or 4 days i cant get enough of everything with this beautiful pair. Sound might not be explosive and bass is not super punchy, however details are on point and they are not harsh even on higher volumes (bass is not super punchy but very clean). I wish i bought them sooner. For under 100 bucks this thing is amazing. If you're coming from heavy bass and treble kind of headphones you are probably going to be disappointed but give them a try for few days and you will fall in love.
At first, I liked my takstar pro 82 more than this because they have more detail but after a few months and an HD 58x, I started to appreciate how kind and relaxed sounding the 559s are since the pro 82s have no body to the music and their high is really shrill and sibilant compared to the 58x and 559. The 559 is just perfect if you want to just chill out and the 58x made me realize what a proper treble should sound like. I could never go back to the pro 82 even if I equalize the treble down by 4-5db their treble still sounds shrill to me and the mids are just lacking. I do tone down the bass on the HD 559 for about 2-3db tho
@@codetrain020 So which do you like more for games(if you tried it) hd 559 or takstar pro 82?
@@SYSTEM-dl2wj Id take the 598SE or 599 if base is more important. But any of these basically: SRH840, DT770 pro 80 ohm, M40X...and even more BASICALLY gaming headphnes suck for gaming...
Yeah somethings telling me I'm gonna have to get use to them, but I'm sure I'll enjoy them! I'm upgrading from the Razers Kraken Mobiles. So probably will be way better than those. And I love my razers but was wanting an upgrade. Been using them for 3 years.
@@codetrain020 do you use a headphone amplifier for hd 559 and 58x? If yes, which one?
I got the Sennheiser HD 589 and the Audio Technica ATH-M60x. Both sound great whilst gaming on my Windows 9 PC.
Good one, but M60x is an actual thing now :D
FUCK... Well there's my joke ruined.
Actually though the m60x is impossible to find in the UK 😭😭😭 I wanted them for music, and I could have my 598 open backs for gaming 😢 m60x is the best headset that audio technical have come out with in a LONG while... perfect cables, pads and soundstage 😊
You really should check out the SPL Phonitor Mini or Phonitor 2. It basically is a very sophisticated crossfeed headphone amp. It is used for mastering on headphones, but it is also great for "just" listening to music. (SPL uses a special 120V amplifier to get more headroom and nearly infinitly low THD)
Hey, I was looking for a closed back headset for casual gaming and listening to music (TV and computer are in the same room...).
After seeing this review of the 569 I am really confused. I bought it in store and after seeing the review I ordered the MH 572. Although the latter is 40 Euros cheaper I am not convinced that the 569 is as awful as you described and the MH 572 as good. The MH 572 has more soundstage but other than that I think the 569 is more pleasant to listen to.
Might it be that your 569 was faulty?
Or he over amped it. Theyre not meant for Amping tbh
I really liked my 579s, really light, decent bass, good soundstage. Then I moved on to HD6XX/650s.
And the result?
Do you require a headphone amplifier for them? How do they sound just with smartphones?
This is gonna sound like an ad, but yea Periapt are really awesome. Did a few custom cables for me and they were stellar.
Tell me about how they changed your life. EXAGGERATE
I was drunk like I am right now, and asked them to do something CRAZY with the cable, and they did. Only cable like it!
Now I need to see it. POST PICS
the absolute madman!
Yeah I had them make an HE-1000 cable for me termianted in XLR, 10 foot, thick beautiful cable. Love it!
I was going to pick up the 579s, but after watching this video you convinced me to skip that and pick up the 559s instead. Great review!
@@aditya50499 did you listen to z???
598 is great for mixing mids and soundstage for all the reasons it is unforgiving as a hifi headphone. 579 or 559 for music/gaming can't go wrong, pick your poison there.
Great video
Finally came across the right video
I almost bought 599 thinking they be the best in 500 series but 558 is what I was looking for. Thanks man

Finally! ive asked for this review November 2017 holy cow xD
I still disagree with the different league stuff... I prefer the HD598. But i acknowledge, that the HD660S is a bit more neutral. Still for me they are not leagues away. Just like i dont think planars to be better or in a different league like some... Differnt maybe yes. But to be honest everyone on a tight budget and who wants a bit more of a spatial presentation the HD599/598 are the way to go. I prefer them over any AKG and over the Beyer DT range. Only the DT1990 and T1 are MAYBE superior. If it really come down to clean, neutral sound. Character... for me its always been Sennheiser.
Michele Giuseppe Iurlo if you prefer zero bass all the power to you. I gave my 598's to my brother when I got my 660s. They are definitely all around better imo by leagues
I find the HD598 to actually have more bass. Its overall warmer. Imo if its any better and i think for vocals and sheer clarity it is... its not leagues, but 5-7% of a difference. IMO though. Ive tested so many headphones now and i find that difference are totally overdone... even from a 30$ Sennheiser HD202 you dont get more than 20% of an increase. Maybe im just not that impressed with the difference especially at the price/performance standpoint. But even if we only look at performance i prefer the HD598 for the warmer tone, the more prominent low end, the bigger soundstage and space and the more laid back upper midrange. I really just enjoy the HD660 with something like Queen where the vocals just get a tad more intimate like Freddy is right in front of you, while on the HD598 its like he on a small stage infront of you and with an LCD 2 its like hes singing through hifi speakers. But everyone has his taste and im not gonna tell you how i feel my HD598 is far superior to anything else or leagues better. Its just 5% more in line of what im looking for in audio. And im really not a person who dislikes bass, i still have Philips X1s and X2s since they released and use them on some occations, but after all these years i attuned to the tighter bass. I heard people say HD598 has to much bass and some who say to few. I always thought maybe its malfunctioning devices, but i had the original ,the SE which i sadly burnt on vacation and now the SR and none had any differences whatsoever... Maybe its down to the ears :)
could you do a comparison between hd559 vs philips shp9500 and which one has more bass and good for gaming ?
This. 559 or SHPs?
I would say, HD559 if you want bass and wider soundstage. SHP9500s are narrower and better imaging. HD599 for bassy fun, SHP9500 for detail/competitive.
nah... h559 bass, 599 competitive, shps gaming nono
from what you say the one that has more bass is HD559.
But, what about the gaming one. :)

I like what you're doing here. Thank you
Actually waiting for a pair of HD 559 when watching this. I can't wait now :) I was debating the HD 569 but thanks for makine me more sure I made the right decision!
10 minutes in man is like "yep just buy 559s if you want friendly headphones". Sold thanks m8 :D
I have the HD 579. It's got more bass than the HD 650/6XX actually, but boomier. Refinement is also very dependent on the fit you'll get with them (same as the HD 6xx I have). They can go from being a bit grainy, to being naturally clear and balanced/smooth with the perfect fit.
The HD 579 ALSO has the same exact stock cable as the 569 though.
Thanks bc I heard some bad. Reviews on the 579 I got some coming $47 good??? not crazy about the gray so far black either
I have to disagree with HD569 review. For me those were most comfortable on my head and I really liked how they sound. Not as good as HD 579 but to my ears better and than for example m40x. m40x had better bass but mids/highs are bit more pleasant on HD569 to my ears.
Me too, they are really good allround closed headphones. I use HD569 with my PS4 (you even get a great rated mic with them). They are super comfortable, I can use them 12h+ and when I take them off I almost want to put them back on because they are so comfortable. The low ohms make them perfect for mobile phones and game consoles.
Thank You for this Extensive review, should be the end of all reviews for the sennheiser series. Appreciate you brother.
for the benefit of future travellers, the 598cs I got came with the 1/4" cable and the 1/8th four band with the inline mic. it's a no-brainer if you're planning to use it for calls or conferencing or something. obviously, they're not anything to write home about for quality, and zeos has opinions on the 598cs's, but if someone is considering it, the 4band with the mic is a plus.
Z what about the 598 open? Where do they fit among them? Thanks.
"No one hates the 598's!" Sennheiser's new logo.
HD569 and HD598Cs are exactly the same in terms of driver and tuning. The difference is cosmetics and CS being amazon exclusive. Shouldn't sound different, if they do it's manufacturing inconsistency and it's a fault.
HD599 have wider soundstage than both HD600 and HD650 (these being more 3D-like but still narrower) and on pair with HD598 which is famous for having good soundstage.
Super necro... but Oratory1990 measures them as pretty different, which was a big surprise tbh.
@@beliveinurself double necro, but the reason why they measure different is because of the pad material, the HD569 have this newer super smooth suede-like padding, and replacing the pads with the original velour-like pads typical from the 500 series makes them sound virtually identical. Sennheiser also seems to have done a silent revision on the HD569s as I've noticed the inner disc in the more recently manufactured HD569s is made of a thicker and more solid cardboard-like cloth instead of the usual soft translucent cloth.
i have fallen into a rabbit hole after looking for a decent gaming headset. I'm not a audiophile but have read alot about the 559s for gaming vs gaming type headphones. I think i will go with them because they are one of the cheaper options. I'm assuming i dont need a dacs? I never heard of a Dacs until today lol. Also any tips for a mic so i can talk to my friends while im gaming, not a streamer and dont need a crazy mic. Im on a budget so any tips would be great. Thanks in advance
Hey man - great review - this actually convinced me to get the 559 and really happy. One thing that is annoying is the 6.3mm jack. I listen mostly from my laptop so need an adapter - I see you have your own cable - could you share details around where you sourced a 3mm - I can't find a replacement (shorter) cable anywhere with a 3 - 3.5mm, its that damn 3mm jack that goes into the headphone that is the tricky one to find
Do you require a headphone amplifier for them?
Where's the 518's to compare lol

I got to try the 559, 579 and 599 in a shop. The 559 was dark and muddy compared to the more expensive ones, with clarity (mids and trebles) increasing as you go up. I ended up buying the HD599 SE on sale. The soundstage is hard for me as a non audiophile to quantify. But the HD599 didn't strike me as super wide. Then again, I thought the same of the X2HRs which you said have a very wide stage.
As for relaxing. The Hd599 are very relaxing to listen to and zone out. Equally as they are to jam to and enjoy the music!
Also for comfort, in the shop the 599 were more comfy than the other 2. And I can personally wear them for hours and hours. I even forget they're there sometimes and try to scratch my ears with headphones on 🤦🏻♂️😅
Btw Pro tip: get a 2.5mm male to 3.5mm female locking adapter (for audio technica) and just attach any 3.5mm cable or a v-moda boompro ;)
I got this one: www.amazon.de/dp/B07Z2MPW61/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_i_fHnXEb9ZDD2JH
Zeos you liar. I got hd599's because I like how they look and guess what, they sound fucking good and not unforgiving at all.
Thanks Z for the review! Must have been a tough one to do. Happy with the 599’s, enjoy the detail, and find them very comfortable. Possible that the 559’s foam head cushion degrade over time?
Do you require a headphone amplifier for them?
Been using a pair of HD558 for over five years. Earpads are worn af. Any suggestions on a replacement? I know i can get the geniune from Senneheiser, but i'd prefer something aftermarket if they're better/more confy for long duration of wearing.
Absolutely disagree about the Sennheiser HD 569. I have Creative Aurvana Live!, Audio-Technica ATH-M50, V-Moda Crossfade M-100 and all of them sound worse than the Sennheiser HD 569! The sound of the 569 is detailed, a bit sharp, the bass is wonderful, it's crisp, solid and it's as much as you need, the scene is the biggest I've heard. Maybe your model wasn't warm enough? I connect my 569 to the Centrance DACPort Slim, the sound is great!👍🎧
@Jsch202 ik its a late reply but i thought i had the same problem until i realized i hadnt plugged the cable in all the way. you just have to twist until it slides in
The Momentum's are closed and amazing
Watching the video in my Momentums.
I assume there are no 589 because of the older HD 580.
beyerdynamic dt 770 can be found for about $150, and those are still one of my favorite closed backs ever!
usually i have noticed great speakers highlight bad recordings so much more. that is probably a good sign that the 599's made a bad recording unbearable lol
@@awrely
absolutely correct! hd599s are more accurate towards producing frequencies consistently than hd598s...
so its a good sign that 7devils Florence sounds bad on them!
@@curiosity9347 had to equalize them a bit for the kind of music i listen to.With any other music whether it is punk,soft rock,pop or classic music it sounds great.There is however one issue: sometimes something gets into the driver camera and makes a noise,can get easily fixed but still not very nice
@@awrely what do you mean by "something gets into the driver camera"?
@@picapica201 there is something literally in my driver camera which sometimes makes a quiet noise. Guess that is because of their open construction, I am not the only one with this thing though
I only hear it in my left ear sometimes now, but earlier it was in the right one too
Own 569s, they were my first high end pair.
They've been sitting in their box since I bought a pair of HM5s and got Beyer 990s from my dad.
Every time I try them again they sound like disappointment.
And fuck me I spent 179€ on them, the most I've spent on a headphone ever.
I like that introduction...
As someone who has had a pair of 598cs for 4 years now as daily drivers. I never experienced the painful treble and mids. I recently got into audio stuff, bought a Topping L30 and D30. BOOOM, painful mids and treble. Basically if you're plugging your 598cs into your computer or phone audio jack, no problem, gonna sound fine, no pain, if you plug them into and amp and dac, to you know, actually hear the detail in your music, yeah painful.
Does 598cs have enough bass when you plugging into the computer?
@@konstantinplotnikov8910 Yeah, if they're just plugged into your computer they're pretty solid all around. At least they were for me at the time.
@@_lime. Thank you for your response! Can you say what instruments sounds especially wonderful in your opinion on your headphones? I want to buy hd 569(that is the same model with 598cs) or 599. Just want to understand which one has less painful highs.
@@konstantinplotnikov8910 I always found the bass to be quite good, but I also like a lot of bass so if you're someone who likes more subtle bass you might find it to be too bassy.
@@_lime. Thank you. I love good bass.
Oh the 598s with the burl wood. I need them
I have 598Cs and HD650s. The 598's were my first pair of "nice" headphones and I still use them when I go out but after I got the HD650s I did notice that the 598's do hurt. But I only noticed in comparison to the HD650s
eere3343 how do they compare soundwise?
what do you mean they hurt?
I have the 558s and 598s. The 558 was the first set of headphones I bought that made me interested in going further down the rabbit hole. I would still recommend them to anyone looking to dip their toes in the water. I don't dislike the 598, but don't know if they're worth buying over the 558 with the price difference.
Finally came around to watching this review (a little late).... Why do I have HD595's ? for the last 15years (i believe) Always coming back to them (DragonFly Black 1.2).....
I bought the HD 599 from a swap meet for $10. They work amazing, and worth the $10 lol
the 599 are like a german soldier. Nice
Do you have a podcast? I could listen to you talk shit about tech stuff all day long lol. So entertaining and refreshing listening to someone who isn’t paid off to give good reviews for products, just the absolute truth
I think the 598 cs is quite decent if you can get them on sale, better than the m50x for casual listening imo
Just gonna mention that you can get the HD559 for 60€ right now in germany
I don't get why you disliked the 569's so much. They sound far better than the DT 770's to me.
I like them for commuting but if i had the choice between them and my 598s, I pick the 598 every time. They do sound better than zeos makes them out to be.
@@krypto_9872 Appreciate the Freddie Mercury profile pic 👍
Not going to lie, I thought that sheet was a Dungeons and Dragons character sheet at the beginning.
Bell end springs to mind !!
Did you get your pair of Heavys Headphones?
Headphones for Metal.
Will you Review them?
Cheers
I own both the takstar pro 82 and sennheiser hd 569, and I disagree with your opinions completely. The hd 569 are superior to the pro 82 in most cases, most noticeably - imaging and separation. Both have the same soundstage and around the same comfort. I also like the sound signature of the hd 569 more than the pro 82, which is warm and more pleasant to listen to. Don't get me wrong, I love both headphones but they have different uses. I use the pro 82 mainly for gaming and communication because they are really comfortable for long periods of time and don't bother me while wearing glasses. While I use my hd 569 for music listening because I like the sound signature more, and I can get the max potential out of them through my phone which also makes them great portable cans. Another note, I have done some listening tests with my desktop amp with both headphones, and the pro 82 definitely did benefit from it while the hd 569 sounded the same as on my phone.
Funny I came to the exact same conclusions. The only thing Takstar really has on the HD 569's is when you turn the bass switch to position 2, then it's more U-shaped if you like that type of sound. But in accuracy and general comfort the 569's completely outclasses the Takstar. Tyll's review on the HD 569 was 100% accurate.
Completely true, i bought the Takstar because of his review and then i found them to be less good that i expected. 1 week later i saw HD 569's review on Inner Fidelity and i returned the Pro 82s and bought the Senheiser and they are clearly superior.
Now i would like to try the 1More. However on-ear headphones harm my ears cause i wear glasses.
Funny thing is that he thinks HD 598 are easier to drive than HD 569 and they are exactly the same specs wise!
100% true
are the hd 569 good for gaming?
Listening to this on 598cs...And your spot on. The mid's and highs are to sharp and hurt. Having to use EQ to reduce the pain over the past year. Still looking for a closed back alternative for use in the office. These are ridiculously comfortable tho.
Rocking a pair of HD 555 here :(
you got probably got defected hd 569s man its the exact same thing as the 598cs but with different cosmetics
are their any closed headphones with good noise cancellation that still have a nice soundstage? or doesn't soundstage have anything to do with closed or open headphones?
sry i have no idea about this stuff i would just like to listen to my music in the best quality possible for under 150€ and i try to get into all this technical stuff.....are there any good sites or channels for noobs like me that answer these basic questions?
If only I could give you the 598's on my head through you tube.
I got these weird all black 598se things
@@cadetsparklez3300 those are the same ones I have.
@@Edward135i are they just a different color or are they actually different? My dad got them and I cant find anything on sennheisers website, not even in the archive section
Hey Mr.Z can you talk about headphone or IEM are good for weeb music and ASMR type things?
Good review. I tried the 598 Cs and disliked it. I love the 598 open backs.
Would the DT 770 be a good closed option under $200? Need something to complement my 598.
According to my research that seems to be the best bet. I own too many headphones and have tried the dt770 80 ohm, they are a bit large but were comfortable and open sounding, decent bass too.
Personally I don’t like the DT 770 because of the non detachable cable, and I would go for a more rounded option like the Shure SRH840-E. Great for music, good for gaming, all rounder really. Basically they are better M50x’s... however I do appreciate the DT series and I think they are very good, just not my style/preference
How would you say the 559's compare to the Superlux HD 681 EVO's? Looking to buy the 559's since my 681 EVO's ended up breaking after a little over a month, used them mostly for gaming and bass heavy music.
Heinrich _ For the 681 EVO's I'd recommend taking real good care of the jack into which you connect the cable it comes with into, the rubber holding the jack to the left earcup is what ended up giving out for me.
what is the best headphones and dac/amp combo to drive them for single player games like metro exudos? I dont care about foot steps I just want the most immersive amazing sounding experience?
