Queste cuffie valgono ogni euro speso per acquistarle, devo ancora terminare il rodaggio consigliato di 40 ore, ma già così danno soddisfazioni.
Queste cuffie sono aperte quindi prima di comprarle pensate a dove e come volete utilizzarle. Essendo aperte non hanno isolamento da e per l'esterno (se non in misura minima) quindi non possono essere utilizzate in luoghi rumorosi (non vanno bene per ascoltare la musica in giro). Il fatto che siano aperte sacrifica un po' l'immersività a favore di suoni più naturali e maggiormente fedeli dal punto di vista della distanza della fonte del suono (es. per i videogiocatori: con queste cuffie riuscirete a sentire l'effettiva distanza che vi separa dal rumore dei passi del nemico, mentre con delle cuffie chiuse lo avreste sentito più vicino a voi di quanto in realtà non fosse). Inserisco qui questa caratteristica perchè non è nè un difetto nè un pregio, se non a seconda dell'uso specifico che ognuno ne deve fare.
Queste cuffie per essere sfruttate davvero devono necessariamente essere accompagnate da una scheda audio dedicata (personalmente uso la Creative soundblaster Z) perchè sarebbero sprecate per una scheda audio integrata. Parimenti non sono l'ideale per l'utilizzo col cellulare, in quanto la loro impedenza abbastanza elevata non riuscirebbe ad essere superata dal telefono, e quindi si perderebbero molte frequenze della traccia audio o del film (l'impedenza è la resistenza fisica che le cuffie oppongono al suono, più è alta e più l'amplificatore dovrà essere potente, dando però una maggiore fedeltà al suono finale).

PRO
- il suono è veramente equilibrato e mai sbilanciato verso i bassi, i quali forse sono il "Punto debole" di queste cuffie, com'è tipico per le cuffie Sennheiser.
- sono leggerissime e davvero comode anche per l'uso prolungato.
- esteticamente appaganti e costruite con materiali di qualità.

CONTRO
- il cavo con il jack da 3,5 mm è davvero corto ed obbliga a utilizzare quello, decisamente più lungo (2m direi) con il jack da 6mm e riduttore (tutto compreso nella scatola).
- I bassi che non sono particolarmente profondi, ma le cuffie recuperano sugli alti.

Stupende per le mie esigenze

Ho preso la special edition (che sono nere) per il black friday a 99€ e dopo averle viste e provate sono diventate il miglior acquisto mai fatto su internet. Sono belle, imponenti, comode e leggere. Sembra di essere dei musicisti con queste cuffie in testa perchè hanno quel tocco di eleganza rispetto a cuffie di altre marche anche 5 volte più costose che sembrano delle tamarrate per i miei gusti. In testa dopo 5 minuti ci si scorda di averle perchè sono comodissime (n.b. padiglioni in velluto) ma anche per il fatto che sono aperte, le adoro perchè mi ha sempre infastidito l'effetto tappo. Riesco a sentire se qualcuno mi chiama e posso parlare tranquillamente mettendo in pausa senza toglierle. Ovviamente io non le uso in autobus o in aereo perchè fuori si sentono molto e potrebbero dar fastidio, quindi le sconsiglio per chi le usa spesso in viaggio o in luoghi molto rumorosi (non isolano ovviamente).
Passando alla resa sonora premetto che non sono un audiofilo ma ho un orecchio abbastanza allenato essendomi dilettato per alcuni anni nella produzione musicale in proprio. Sorprende la spazialità che restituiscono; se chiudete gli occhi riuscite a capire da che direzione arriva il suono dello strumento. Gli alti e i medi sono riprodotti brillantemente ed i bassi sono ben presenti senza coprire le altre frequenze, ciò mi piace un sacco e mi sorprende pensarlo visto che sono sempre stato un fan dei bassi ed a volte ascolto anche musica "tunz tunz" per ricordare i vecchi tempi e me la fanno godere. Attenzione, tutto questo però con le cuffie collegate al mio impianto stereo. Collegando le cuffie allo smartphone o al portatile i bassi sono calati abbastanza come in generale la purezza dei suoni, pur rimanendo sempre su livelli alti non fraintendetemi; infatti non sento il bisogno di comprare un amp/dac all'istante anche se in futuro di sicuro lo comprerò per il notebook per godermi appieno le cuffie. Con spotify premium ed il nexus 5 sono soddisfatto di queste cuffie, sono fantastiche, la qualità è molto buona e si sentono forte (si fanno pilotare) e non me l'aspettavo. Credo che chi possegga un iphone di ultima generazione o un dispositivo/smartphone con un dac/amp interno dedicato per la musica non abbia bisogno di null'altro per queste cuffie. Il guadagno non compenserebbe la spesa a mio avviso.
In sintesi valgono tutti i soldi che ho speso, sono quello che cercavo. Soddisfatto.
Spero di esservi stato utile. :)

Some of the best gaming headphones for the money

Recensito in Canada il 5 giugno 2017

Acquisto verificato

Quick summation: I love these headphones. They're good for music, amazing for PC gaming, and they're quite comfortable. I've had several Sennheiser products over the years, and these are the best so far. $140 is a steal, considering I paid $180 for them last month. If you're looking for something more bass heavy that's more musically inclined, look into HD 558's.

•• Intro ••

This is going to be a fairly large review encompassing many years of trial and error. If you don't want my background or to understand why I ultimately chose the 598's, skip to "ENTER THE HD 598's." Otherwise, I'll cover my headphone background, whether gaming headsets are "good enough," what sound-stage is and why it matters, and a quick comparison of some alternatives - budget and otherwise. Lastly, I'll talk about the HD 598's musical quality, but I specifically purchased these headphones with PC gaming in mind.

•• You don't need to be an audiophile to appreciate the difference ••

Sound quality is one of those often-overlooked areas that can DRAMATICALLY improve your gaming performance. Naturally, this depends on the type of game you're playing. If you like RTS's or MMO's, directional sound won't have a huge impact on performance. I mean, it'll sound BETTER, but it won't typically be the difference between your living or dying. A first person shooter, on the other hand, is where sound can make a tremendous difference. Picking up footsteps vs not picking up footsteps. Getting shot from out of nowhere and then immediately identifying the source based on sound alone. These are the things we pay for, and these are the reasons why the Sennheiser HD 598's are awesome.

•• My headphone & gaming background ••

I've been playing FPS games for over 16 years now. I was never a big CS head, but I've played damn near everything from Quake and Unreal, to almost every iteration of Battlefield and Call of Duty. More recently, I've been playing Titanfall 2 and Overwatch. That said, I specifically bought the HD 598's because I've started streaming Playerunknown's Battlegrounds. Playerunknown's is a perfect example of a game that benefits MASSIVELY from sound-superiority. Because you die so quickly and can't instantly respawn, knowing the direction of your enemies is crucial.

I come from a long line of cheap headphones. I remember playing WoW probably 10 years ago with a $3 microphone/headset from China. Oh, how times have changed. From there, I upgraded to a Logitech G35, which was probably $130 at the time. When I put those on for the first time playing Battlefield 3, I was like, "Holy crap! Such immersion, much wow! Is this what I've been missing?!" The problem is, that feeling of immersion can actually overwhelm and muddy the senses as opposed to delivering crisp, concise, directional information. Bass, in particular, might put you right in the middle of the action... but is it helping you e-murder people to your FULL potential? Not really.

There are plenty of games where you can puzzle things out, but more often than not, I'd be slightly confused. Is he left, right, or literally all around me? The problem with my G35's was that in stereo mode, it was too quiet. In 7.1 mode, it was louder, but I couldn't tell where the heck anything was coming from. I mean, it gave me enough info to guess some times, but I wanted to know if there was a better way.

•• Are Gaming Headsets Good Enough? ••

Gaming headsets are immensely popular nowadays. By gaming headsets, I mean any headphones that come with a microphone attached. They tend to be heavily marketed towards gamers and have flashy aesthetics that do nothing for gameplay. I dove into Hearthstone for awhile, and I noticed that my most-watched streamers had things like Corsair, Hyperx Cloud 2's, or Logitech anythings. Many of my friends have these as well. I consider these "good enough" for specific game genres that are lacking in split second decision making based on sound. Obviously, it's great having a mic AND headphones packaged into one item. However, those established companies have one thing in common: they sell you a mediocre mic and a mediocre headphone... and they charge you a premium. I'm not saying you NEED great headphones. If you go from a $5 mic to a gaming headset, you're going to be thrilled with the difference. But there are several levels above that, and that's what I'm here to tell you about.

Back to Playerunknown's and other shooters, I noticed most of my favourite streamers invested in heavy duty headphones. MrGrimmmz, arguably a top 10 Playerunknown's player, uses Sennheiser HD700's, which sell for something insane like $700-1200. I firmly believe that you can pay MUCH less. Once you start going over $150-200 for headphones, you're going to suffer diminishing returns in effectiveness. They might sound better, but they may not grant you more accurate directional data.

•• So what provides the most accurate directional data? Sound stage? What the heck is that? ••

Sound-stage is an interesting concept in headphones. Basically, imagine you're at a small-ish concert. Your favourite band is playing. The singer is in one location, the guitarist another, the bassist and drummer another still. You close your eyes. In your mind, there is a virtual stage that approximates their proper locations, granting a musical depth that you may not have had simply listening to an album with $10 ear buds.

This is sound-stage. It's a "virtual environment." Certain headphones have much broader "virtual stages" than others. Now, think about playing a shooter game. Think about the sound of gunfire. It's harsh, cacophonous . Bullets aren't BOOMING and BASSY -- unless you're firing a cannon, maybe. They're loud and SHARP. These require an enhanced treble and mid-range that don't get squashed out by too much bass. What we're talking about here is finding a perfect balance.

•• Enter the HD 598's ••

The 598's are celebrated as having some of the best "balance" of sound-stage and bass among audiophiles and gamers alike. I can absolutely confirm this. They're typically compared to their counterparts the HD 558's. They're quite similar, but the 558's have more bass, which is why the 598's tend to be picked for gaming.

Gaming is a treat. It's night and day from my G35's. Locations are accurate, sounds are crisp. I noticed a tremendous difference in my close-range gameplay the very first day I used them. Then, quite the opposite, I got shot from a far hill - behind and to the left - that I guarantee would have had me spinning around blind before. Instead, I knew exactly where the guy was. I flanked and killed him for his effort. Again, I'm not saying that you can't do this with any headphones, but there is a significant difference in my ability to immediately identify the threat and react.

Regarding music, this is why I actually went with the 598's over my alternative choices. The 598's still have enough bass to make most genres sound good. I'm a metalhead, so bass isn't the most important thing to me... but a little goes a long way. They're the best sounding headphones for music I've ever used, but I'll fully admit I haven't gone deeper down the rabbit hole yet. That'll be another review somewhere far in the future.

•• Open-backed or Close-backed Headphones... wait, what? ••

The HD 598's are open-backed headphones. These are undeniably better for FPS gaming. This concept allows for a more robust sound-stage; most would argue music as well. The catch is, if you're playing something very loud, sound will bleed out, meaning others in your immediate area can hear it. Similarly, you can hear things from the outside world more easily. So if you're in a noisy environment, and you NEED utter focus... open-backed might not be the perfect solution. This hasn't been a problem for me. I think it's one of those perfectionist categories where it does make a difference but doesn't realistically cause a problem in most scenarios. For example, my wife hasn't complained when she's literally right beside me watching TV, and I haven't had a problem blocking out other general sounds with the 598's.

Closed-backed are the opposite. They are true "noise-cancelling" headphones. They cup your ears, and the world around you disappears. These are best for immersion and total solitary listening of music. The reason they're not great for FPS gaming is because you're basically in a cave by yourself. What happens when loud sounds occur inside of a cave? They blend, echo, and it's extremely difficult to pinpoint the origin. Not the best concept for gaming.

•• Aesthetic, Quality & Fit ••

The HD 598's feel fairly light. Some would consider this cheap, but considering my wife's PC 350's have lasted 4+ years and are of similar feel... I'm confident the 598's are well-made. The ear pads are velour, whereas the PC 350's have this awful faux leather that cracks and gets EVERYWHERE. Seriously, 4-5 years later, and I'm still finding pieces of black crap everywhere. That was a similar problem with my G35's. The velour will never do that. It's also comfy, but it picks up animal hair like crazy. It's not a huge problem that causes daily consternation, just a minor nitpick.

The fit is something that will be a source of argumentation. Sennheiser definitely makes "huggy" headphones. For some head shapes, this may feel vice-like at first. You can combat this by over-sizing the fit so that they're more loose on the head. Wearing a hat to oversize it helps, as it lessens the pressure. They definitely break in over time. Personally, I was never close to pain wearing them, and I wear them 4-8 hours daily. I wear them with glasses, and they feel like a dream compared to my G35's. Those things literally crushed and hurt my head. I've never had a headache or even close to pain from my glasses being pushed in by the 598's. I have a reasonably small head (5'7, 145lbs), but I like to wear them tight so that no sound escapes.

•• Note on Impedance/OHM ••

The more powerful your headphones are, the more likely they require an amp. The HD 598's have a rating of 50 ohm. Gaming headphones tend to have less. However, my new Z270-A Prime motherboard's onboard sound is able to drive headphones capable of up to 600 ohm. That should indicate that most motherboards from this decade are easily able to power HD 598's. You shouldn't need an additional sound card or amplifier of any kind.

•• Alternatives & Attachable Microphones ••

First, an example of a good pair of headphones that are allegedly awful for gaming. These are a top seller from Audiotechnica, an extremely good brand: Audio-Technica ATH-M50x Professional Headphones . They're supposed to have a great mix for music but have a severely limited soundstage that makes picking out directions just plain awful. Surprise, surprise - they're close backed!

On the opposite end, Audio-Technica makes these, which are known as some of the best budget gaming headphones in the world:
Audio-Technica ATH-AD700X . They hit all my thumbs up categories. Extreme sound-stage, check. Lack of bass, check. Open-back, check! The catch is that they apparently have a poor mix and sound mediocre when it comes to music.

These are supposed to be the best of both worlds next to the HD 598's: Audio Technica ATH-AD900X Open-Back Audiophile Headphones . They are supposed to have a better music mix with the best soundstage money can buy. So why I didn't I go with these over the 598's? Two reasons. 1) They have even less bass, apparently. The HD 598's still have some bass and still sound good musically. 2) The style of the wing-band is supposed to be really irritating for certain head types. There's a way to make them less annoying, including pinning the wings onto the band with an elastic band... but I didn't want to buy headphones that I may or may not hate the fit of. Also, be really careful about the name. The AD900X is open-backed, and the AD900 is closed-backed. Not the same experience.

Those are the highest rated for the price. I could go on and on, but those were the ones I considered deeply. For further consideration, I'll point you to reddit. The subreddit /r/headphones has a "gaming headphones" breakdown on the sidebar. One guy tested something like 40 well-known headphones and concluded that the 700x and HD 598 are among the best for competitive gaming.

Update 01/31/2018: More options! I'd heard great things about the Philips SHP9500 that I had to try them. I found them for $75 on a Best Buy Christmas sale. Shop around! They are incredibly comfortable because they sit nice and loose on the head. They're excellent for larger heads, but they're great for small heads like mine, too. The sound quality is almost as good as the HD 598's, which was quite surprising to me. I've tested them extensively on PUBG, Fortnite, and Overwatch. The sound stage is slightly smaller than 598's, but we're talking a marginal difference. You could play competitively with them without issue. I literally bought them to try out of interest. They're now my wife's go-to headset, replacing her aging Sennheiser PC 350's.

The other good news is, you can pair the SHP with the V-MODA BoomPro Gaming VOiP Headset Headphone Mic . It fits directly into the jack on the earphone.

There's one issue. They're so open that they tend to bleed sound loudly, meaning people will hear what you're listening to. You can also hear people around you much more clearly. This is a pro-con depending on how much traffic you have around your gaming area.

•• Mics & Attachable Microphones ••

For plug and play, I heartily recommend something along the lines of the Blue Microphones Snowball iCE Condenser Microphone, Cardioid . I, myself, have a full Blue Yeti setup, but the Snowball and Snowflake are good, cheaper options for desk-mounted microphones.

On the flip side, you can actually buy microphones that will attach to your headphones. Something cheaper like the V-MODA BoomPro Gaming VOiP Headset Headphone Mic or the more well-known Antlion Audio ModMic Attachable Boom Microphone - Noise Cancelling with Mute Switch . I own a Vmoda Boom (cost about $36), and they sound excellent for the price -- highly recommended for budget-mid level purchases if your headset supports it. The mic cable is steelflex, meaning you can adjust its positioning an innumerable amount of times, and it'll stay strong. If you're using Discord or something similar, you may have to play with the "automatic noise detection" in order to stop it from cutting out. It's not an indictment on the quality of the mic. Even expensive condenser mics sometimes have trouble with Discord's automatic settings; my Yeti was pain before I set it manually.

Please keep in mind, I don't know if those attachable mics work out of the box with the HD 598. I'm trying to provide a concept for you to learn! :)

•• Conclusion ••

I went with the HD 598's because they're the best of both worlds: they're good for music, and they're so so so great for FPS gaming. If you followed me all this way, I sincerely hope you learned something. It took me quite a bit of research. If you're not convinced or you want to do your own research, many reviews across tons of websites will corroborate that the 598's and AD900X's are the crem de la crem, particularly for under $200.

Happy murder-spreeing. I hope you find the enemies you were looking for.

Update 07/07/2017:

•• Quick Note On Hyperx Cloud 2's ••

The Cloud 2's are actually a Kingston re-branding of the TAKSTAR PRO-80 . All they really added was a microphone. The lesson is this: if you take an excellent game-tested pair of headphones and add a mic, you're gonna have a good time. The Cloud 2's are a decent all-inclusive solution compared to their competition, but they're still objectively meh compared to cans like ATH-700X's or HD 598's. If you slapped a mic on those, suddenly you'd have a new "best gaming headset."

Update 06/02/2018:

Still absolutely love these. The earpads look and feel brand new. There's no wear on the top band, which wore out CRAZY fast on my G35's. I even hit the top 0th percentile for KDR and Winrate in Fortnite. There isn't AS distinctive of a sound advantage in that game; however, I'd still prefer to have the best :) Also, really looking forward to using them in Battlefield 5.

Tienen un diseño elegante, su relación calidad- precio es excelente y lo que más importa en este producto... su sonido es excepcional, es cálido, espacioso y nítido. Definitivamente un dispositivo que será imprescindible en tu día a día.

Los Sennheiser HD 598 son sofisticados y sobrios, una combinación retro con toques modernos en donde la mayor parte del marco de plástico está envuelto en cuero artificial con acentos negro brillante.

Los auriculares también incorporan el mismo acabado negro con acentos brillantes, Un par de almohadillas de aspecto aterciopelado, grandes y de color negro, completan su aspecto retro.

Se cuentan con dos accesorios de extensión de plástico, escondidos en el marco de los auriculares, estos ayudan a encajarlos cómodamente a la cabeza. Sennheiser también añade un pequeño eje a la base de cada auricular para que puedas ajustarlo según las distintas formas de la cabeza.

Cabe recalcar que Los HD 598 no están hechos para viajar, en estos audífonos no encontrarás articulaciones plegables y el paquete no incluye estuche para guardarlos así que recomiendo un buen sitio sonde puedan ser almacenados.

Los Sennheiser HD 598, cuentan con un solo puerto, localizado en el auricular izquierdo: se trata de una pequeña entrada plateada, forrada en cromo, diseñada para ser utilizada con el cable de audio incluido en el mismo paquete de los auriculares.

El interior de los auriculares se encuentra forrado con una malla negra y en el interior también encontrarás un pequeño transductor triangular cuya localización es clave para la tecnología E.A.R de Sennheiser (Ergonomic Acoustic Refinement o refinamiento acústico ergonómico), la cual es capaz de configurar el ángulo del transductor hasta situarlo en la posición auditiva óptima.

Comodidad:

Los Sennheiser HD 598 son cómodos, tan cómodos como una cama de lujo, tienen una forma suave pero firme de acomodarse sobre la cabeza y el oído que incluso después de cuatro horas de uso, uno no siente fatiga. Otro punto a considerar es el peso, gracias a su marco de plástico, los auriculares pesan relativamente poco, alrededor de 270 gramos.

El Cable:

Los HD 598 vienen con un par de cables de audio, uno de 305 centímetros y otro de 102 cm. los cuales terminan con un enchufe de audio de 6,3 mm, perfectos para ser enchufados a un amplificador para auriculares o a un conversor de señal digital a analógica (DAC o CDA). La parte del cable que se encaja al puerto auditivo de los auriculares tiene un mecanismo de cierre, lo cual previene la posibilidad de que el cable sea arrancado de su enchufe.

Para todos aquellos que no creen necesitar un conversor de señal digital a analógica o bien un amplificador propio – o en el caso de que no tengan presupuesto suficiente – Sennheiser sabiamente ha incluido un adaptador de 3,5 mm en el paquete.

Rendimiento:

Estos audífonos son de diseño abierto, lo que significa que hay un espacio por el que el aire puede ingresar alrededor de los auriculares. Esto es una gran característica ya que este tipo de auriculares proporcionan menos resonancia y más fidelidad de audio, son capaces de aportar un sonido más natural comparados con los auriculares de diseño cerrado. Combinado con la tecnología E.A.R de la compañía y los drivers de neodimio de 40 mm, los HD 598 tienen una calidad de audio bien equilibrada.

Los Sennheiser HD 598 proporcionan un mayor volumen y bajos más consistentes y profundos que otros modelos. Si uno escucha Jazz, éste suena cálido y ofrece una buena separación entre los distintos instrumentos, uno es capaz de distinguirlos por separado. Gracias a su espacioso paisaje sonoro, no hay ningún problema al desviar la atención de un prominente sax hasta el suave sonido metálico pero consistente de los platillos.

Los solos suenan detallados y melodiosos, y las voces aparecen cálidas y dulces. Quizás en algunos instrumentos de cuerda como los violines requieren más detalle, especialmente cuando sólo aparecen como música de fondo. Y a pesar de que la presentación de la música es un poco densa, en general su calidad de sonido es excelente.

La forma de manejo de los bajos en los Sennheiser HD 598 es buena, escuchando música como Metal, Rock, Progresivo y música con un alto impacto de bajos puedo decir que éstos suenan profundos sin sonar abrumadores, dan el espacio protagonismo necesarios a los demás instrumentos, dejando un bajo no tan vigorizado que aporta balance perfecto con los tonos agudos. Es un sonido más acercado a un bajo natural, esto permite escuchar la música con una precisión más acercada al formato de origen.

Conclusión:

Los Sennheiser HD 598 son unos audífonos que proporcionan un nivel de rendimiento más que adecuado incluso para los audiófilos más meticulosos, especialmente porque hablamos de un par de auriculares de gama media con una de las mejores relaciones calidad - precio del mercado.

En este caso no hablamos sólo de calidad, su diseño también destaca. Con los Sennheiser HD 598 los amantes de la música podemos disfrutar de nuestras canciones favoritas con unos auriculares capaces de aportar un sonido profundo y rico en matices.

Crystal Clear, Flat and non-fatiguing listening experience for a steal of a price

Recensito in India il 15 maggio 2017

Acquisto verificato

From the perspective of someone who listens on ATH M50x (using for 2 years bought for 9.3k) and Yamaha HS5 Studio Monitors and does mixing and monitoring for fun, these headphones are flat (neither bass heavy nor lacking in bass), crystal clear and not at all fatiguing.

I bought these on a whim when surfing for deals and found these cans for 7.5k which is a steal! They are less expensive than my M50x when I bought them!

If someone is confused between these cans and the ATH M50x, I'd recommend these as they are more comfortable, sound reasonably good (90% as good as ATH M50x without AMP and 10% better than ATH M50x with even the smallest amp such as Fiio E06).

Build Quality:
1. Compared to M50x, these don't seem as robust because of their extremely light weight and plastic build quality.However do not be fooled by the plastics as I've seen HD 518s being thrown from 3rd floor and being abused for 3 years straight by a friend and still going strong - indicating that Sennheiser knows quite a lot about building light weight plastic headphones that can be very durable!....
2. In terms of convenience features such as swiveling and tilting, these will no do any of those contortion tricks like the M50x. They have minimal
swivel but can accommodate all head and earlobe shapes (and my earlobes are as large as an elephant's).
3. The wires and connectors are all solid and robust. Nothing to complain. You could use these wires as noose (they're that strong), just like the ones that come with M50x.

Comfort:
1. These headphones destroy ATH M50x in terms of comfort. They are like soft pillows against your head. You will forget that you're wearing them. I had to get used to my M50x (because I bought them) and over the last 2 years, I'd been forgotten how comfortable headphones could be!. However, in summer you'll sweat just like you would with any circumaural headphones.
The clamping force is gentle, the earlobes are fully engulfed in the earpads and the headband lightly sits on the top of your head. Compared to M50x which have quite a bit of clamping force (making it difficult to wear these beyond 2 hours as the back of the head starts to pain. It is by design so that sound doesn't seep in or leak out), and the earpads are a little small. People with spectacles should consider these headphones rather than M50x as the back of your glasses will interfere with M50x earpads and prevent a full seal.

Sound:
A. Bass Frequencies: These have flat bass that is neither overpowering nor underwhelming. M50x however have a little more emphasis on bass (you can feel the thump and the air being pushed within your ear canals when wearing M50x). However, these have a laid back bass thats very enjoyable and can be listened to for 8 hours straight without feeling fatigued!. I'd even heard my brother's Sony MDR7506s and the bass on those is quite less compared to these but they are another price bracket so comparing them would be an insult.

An important thing to note is that these headphones sound a tad bit muddy in bass when not driven through amplifier. I have the Fiio E06 that I thought I'd need for my M50x and I never ever used them in the 2 years I had the M50x and after buying these headphones I decided to try the Fiio E6 with the Sennheiser HD 598 because the impedance is a little hight at 50 ohm and found that the amplifier does help the lower frequencies. The bass gets more focused and doesn't sound as boomy. The mid bass frequencies are also tamed and overall sound signature gets more flatter. The treble also starts showing a bit more clearly.

B. Mids: This is where these headphones are brilliant. The M50x have good clarity in the mid frequencies but don't have the quality that these headphones have. May be it's because of the open back design which makes the mid frequencies such as male and female vocals so enjoyable to hear! Comparing them with the Yamaha HS5 studio monitors, these headphones have a better sound resolving capability than the HS5s. (it might also be because my room isn't acoustically treated so sound keeps bouncing off the walls)
C. Treble Frequencies: The highs are quite clear but don't have the definition that the M50x have. On the M50x the highs might be considered too strong and almost squeaky. And as mentioned before, the amp will help bring out the treble frequencies a little better.

Overall, if I want to mix a track, I'd use my M50x for the bass frequencies, these headphones and the HS5 for mids and HS5s alone for the high frequencies (because they are that good and flat).

The overall sound, I'd rate these above M50x because of flatter sound signature and easier bass and easier treble. The M50x have a little exaggeration of the "U" Curve. These are more like "~~~~\ " If you can understand what that curve indicates.

Soundstage: On a scale of 1 to 10, the M50x might be rated at 9 and these headphones at a solid 8, and my HS5s at 10 because they are speakers and not headphones. The open back design is amazing. This is the sole reason why I purchased these headphones because I already had a closed back monitoring headphones (M50x) and HS5 studio monitors. I wanted these headphones solely for the purpose of enjoying the awesomeness of openback headphones and also because the price was so tempting.

Another important thing to note: These headphones don't show their full potential from my recording interface Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 (it may be impedance mismatch or the amp not strong enough on the 2i2, but these headphones sound better through my phone! OnePlus 3T and with the Fiio E06 amp they sound the best).

Use case for these headphones and who should buy them:
1. For those who rate comfort above all else
2. Sound stage and open back design allows for amazing sound detail but also can't be used in noisy places. These headphones are solely for home or studio usage.
3. Who aren't as much into thumping bass but do appreciate good clean bass. (Thumping, clean and powerful sub bass lovers, please buy M50x).
4. Not for people who will want to listen to loud music as the sound leaks. (People can clearly tell which song you're hearing).

These headphones don't come with a carrying case. So you'll have to purchase it separately. I'd ordered another hard EVA case from AliExpress for these headphones (see pictures where my other EVA case with M50x. They are around 600 bucks and quite worth it).

Pros:
1. Very comfortable.
2. Very clear sound (as good as M50x but without the fatiguing sound signature)
3. Price is less than M50x when on sale.

Cons:
1. Might need amplifier to realise their full potential. Even the cheap Fiio E06 would make a difference.
2. High frequencies are present but not as vivid as M50x (may be that's the reason why they are not fatiguing to listen to).
3. Plasticky build might put off some people but that is what makes these light.
4. I can't find replacement earpads for these in india! I don't know what I'm going to do 2 years down the road. I had to replace my M50x pads recently and they were available for 1k. But these replacement pads are not available in india! So that is something to look out for in future.

Overall these headphones will serve me as my casual audiophile listening headphones and referencing my music on. My M50x and HS5s will stay as my mixing and mastering equipment. Howerver I might use these for equing the sound stage on my tracks as I keep listening on them.

For anyone who are about to purchase their first audiophile headphones, please keep you expectations in check. New expensive headphone aren't going to magically give your songs a beautiful soul!. Audiophile listening or critical listening is a learnt skill. Being able to concentrate on individual instruments, their separation, their tonal quality etc takes time and needs practice. And also very good audio files. Anything below 280 KBPS MP3 files are just garbage. If you want to experience good audio, buy FLACs or at least subscribe to good music streaming apps (itunes or google play music) that offer at least 250 KBPS audio. And please stop pirating music (for the sake of people who are in the music making field!)
--------------------------------------------
2 years update: these have been by "carry everywhere" headphones. I take them to office daily. Put them on and listen. The reason why I use open back headphones in office is so I can hear if my team is calling me. I don't use these headphones as a way to isolate myself. Build quality is extremely good. Despite the plasticy feel, they won't break. They are extremely resilient. I don't know what magical plastic Sennheiser uses, but the plastic doesn't fade, doesn't get fatigued, or show any signs of wear. The comfort of pads is still brilliant. In fact, m50x pads wore out in 2 years, but these pads still are as good as new despite getting more use. I now believe Sennheiser makes better quality headphones than audio Technica. Not just the quality of materials and build quality are exceptional, but also the looks and sound. I hope these serve me for another 10 years

Absolut hervorragende Kopfhörer

Recensito in Germania il 29 novembre 2016

Acquisto verificato

Bin beleibe kein Profi, was Kopfhörer in dieser Preisklasse angeht. Benutze seit Jahren ein 5.1 System und habe wenn überhaupt relativ durchschnittliche Gamingheadsets verwendet. Nun war es aber mal an der Zeit, mir wirklich gute Kopfhörer zu besorgen.

Entsprechend habe ich mich insgesamt knapp 10 Stunden in diversen Foren mit Headphones beschäftigt. Ich wollte es in erster Linie für FPS-Games verwenden. Dort ist mir ein neutraler Sound und eine große Soundstage wichtig. Insofern war die Wahl relativ schnell auf etwa vier verschiedene, offene Kopfhörer eingeschränkt. Entschieden habe ich mich schlussendlich für diese, da sie wohl einen äußerst neutralen Sound, eine super Soundstage und nicht zu viel Bass haben sollen.

Nach ein paar Stunden Tests mit diverser Musik und einigen Runden Battlefield, sowie einigen Spielereien mit der Konfiguration meiner Asus Xonar DG kann ich nun mit Gewissheit sagen: Der Sound ist absolut überragend, so etwas habe ich - der vorher nie Kopfhörer in dieser Preisregion hatte - nicht gehört. Die Musik ist super klar, ich höre Geräusche, die ich vorher nie gehört habe. Der Bass ist auch bei weitem nicht so lasch, wie man es durch manche Kommentare hier annehmen könnte. Ich bin nicht der älteste mit 28 Jahren, hatte aber schon vor zehn Jahren einen Hörsturz. Daher war mir maximaler Bass auch nicht wichtig, es wummst aber dennoch, wenn man die Konfiguration entsprechend neutral hält.

Für mein Primärziel - FPS-Games - ist der Kopfhörer einfach perfekt. Die Echtheit der Atmosphäre übertrifft sogar meine 5.1 Teufel-Anlage um Längen. Die Soundstage ist derart klar, dass ich es fast nicht gewohnt bin, wie gut ich den Standort von Gegner bestimmen kann.

Darüber hinaus: Verarbeitung wirkt sehr gut, Geruch ist sehr angenehm (was nicht selbstverständlich ist) und der Tragekomfort ist von Anfang an phänomenal.

Sehe nicht, was in irgendeiner Weise dagegen spricht, sich diese Kopfhörer zu holen. Große Klasse!
