Affordable, Full-Sized Premium Headphone
Step into the world of hi-res private listening at a highly affordable price with the Sennheiser HD 599.
Topping Sennheiser’s 500 series, this full-sized, premium over-the-ear headphone offers near-audiophile levels of sound quality and exceptional wearing comfort, thanks to the large ear cups and soft replaceable ear pads.
"The HD 599 is a great headphone," reports reviewer HiWire, head-fi.org, July 25, 2024. "You are getting a huge upgrade in sound quality at a reasonable price…. It illustrates the law of diminishing returns very clearly - there are better headphones, but you'll have to pay much more for incremental gains in audio quality."
"The Vast Majority of People Will Love It"
"The mids are extremely musical, rich and engaging and they have good spaciousness, separation and depth. Voices are also really great and just like with the bass will sound a little more upfront or in the back depending on the amplifier/source used. Mid bass is excellent as well. Treble is smooth and energetic at the same time. It might not be the most detailed or furthest extended but it’s musical and dynamic and has enough counterweight for the bass and low mids," observes reviewer Lieven, headfonia.com, October 11, 2016.
"I’m pretty sure though the vast majority of people will absolutely love its tuning, whether you’re a complete newbie or experienced listener."
"Changed My Perception of Sound"
"The Sennheiser HD 599 headphones changed my perception of sound," raves musician / reviewer Joshua Mlodzianowski, joshonthatsax.com, June 16, 2021.
"I found myself listening longer, editing my music more effectively, and even plugging them into my Xbox controller to watch Netflix and play video games (more on this soon). The sound was hands down better than anything I have ever experienced beyond surround sound in a movie theatre, and everything I was reading was telling me these were just the entry point of sound for audiophiles."
Best in Class, Remastered
The open back HD 599 delivers impressively natural spatial performance. Powered by Sennheiser’s proprietary transducer technology it incorporates the “Ergonomic acoustic refinement” (E.A.R.) design, which channels the audio signal directly into your ears.
Featuring a contemporary design that is both attractive and ergonomic, the HD 599 is a real treat for anyone who listens to their music with a sense of discovery. Immerse yourself in legendary Sennheiser sound with these brilliant headphones.
Enter a World of Listening Pleasure
With the HD 599 you step into the world of audiophile sound. You'll experience outstanding natural spatial performance, brought to you by high-end proprietary Sennheiser transducers. You may have listened to headphones that are quite good. The HD 599 SE will show you what lies beyond that.
Superior Comfort

So, nothing will stop you from listening to track after track, discovering new details and excitement from your vinyl or digital music files.
"For casual listening at home, it's difficult to beat the comfort of the Sennheiser HD 599 for long sessions. Its open-back design offers almost no isolation and limits where you can use it," reports Jasper Lastoria, soundguys.com, October 10, 2023. "It does a good job of feeling super comfortable and has some frills like removable cables and ear pads."
Timeless Ivory Finish
From the brown stitches on the headband to the matte metallic detailing on the ear cups and headband, every aspect of the styling is well thought out. Combined with its timeless ivory color scheme, these subtle touches contribute to the HD 599’s immediate impression of substance and quality.
