General Description

The HD 598 is a new take on the way you get closer to your music. Inspired by the most sophisticated interiors from European sport sedans, this headphone looks as incredible as it sounds. The high-gloss burl wood accents complement the luxurious padding on the headband and earpads for a bold statement. With Sennheiser‘s innovative E.A.R. technology, audio is channeled directly into your ears. These headphones also incorporate a special DuoFol diaphragm geometry that minimizes inter-mod distortion while delivering an impressive frequency response range. The rest and response time of the transducer equates to a comfortable, detailed listening experience that will allow you to rediscover your music collection, even over the longest listening sessions.

Good Quality12/25/2011
 Good Quality
 
Excellent Frequency Response12/5/2011
 I use these headphones with a modern Allen church organ headphone output. The organ headphone output level is a little on the low side but these headphones have excellent sensitivity and I have more than enough volume. The lowest pedal note is 32 Hz and it is very strong, as it should be, not rolled off 20 dB like some other headphones. The frequency response is very smooth, not at all "boomy". The sound quality is essentially the same listening through the headphones as it is listening to the organ live in the room. The organ is in a "garage size" room in a residence, not a church. After a disappointing experience with another brand that claimed to have low frequency response but didn’t, I am delighted at the sound of these headphones.
 
these are great11/20/2011
 about a week ago I purchased these headphones and have been very satisfied. In the past I have only had in ear headphones and thought it was time to buy something a little higher quality. Boy did these deliver! The definition is amazing and I’m hearing parts of my music I have never heard before. In fact I’m listening to them now and heard subtle whispering lyrics I’ve never heard. One great thing about the Sennheiser HD518 is that an ipod can easily power them which is what I typically use. Sometimes to get a little more out of them I plug it into my stereo that I use for my tv. The low end is great and so is the high no matter what. I listen to anything from dubstep to jazz and no matter what it sounds right. Lets talk about the design. These are definitely for private use. I can step on the cord if it isn’t coiled and I’m six feet tall. I like to walk around without having to move the audio source so this is nice at home. The open back design leaks sound very easily no matter the volume. The ear pieces are slightly itchy but still very comfortable and I can wear these headphones for hours. I am very pleased that I chose the HD518 headphones because over all they are amazing the bass definition and comfort are all great. I would encourage you to buy these if you are in the price range.
