After which we can hear pure sounds.
Mids & Treble sounds great.
Bass had little roll off bit undistinguishable in the sound separation.
Best for watching movies with good quality audio track. For songs, again it depends on the audio file quality/compression.
Since it's Open back, the sound staging is wider & best to listen hifi recordings ☺
1. Staging - these headphones have excellent staging and you can easily distinguish each sound and location
2. Clarity - Pump them at high volume without distortion. They are rated for 50ohm impedance, I'm driving them from computer's audio port so far no issues
3. Build Quality - These headphones are comfortable. The band is sufficiently padded and the pads are of good quality. It rests on top of your head and clamps around ears comfortably.
4. Open Back - Don't buy these headsets if you want to maintain your privacy. You can easily hear people around you and others can hear what you are listening to. But when it comes to content consumption the sound is natural and not forced. You can hear ceiling fan, your family, outside traffic, and in-game dialogues clearly at the same time
Against:
1. Bass - If you want to feel your skull vibrating, these are not for you. The bass is ok to good for daily use. In games sounds. You will need some tuning to get the air vibrating around you
2. No inline mic
These are the most disappointing headphones that I have used. The sound is too bassy and slightly muddy and not the balanced dark sound that I was expecting from Sennheiser. These headphones don't even qualify as entry-level audiophile headphones.
Also my original 2.5mm to 6.3mm cable was chewed by my cat so I ordered a 2.5mm adapter to use. Turns out that I can't use the adapter because Sennheiser has a special grove on their 2.5mm end which allows it to be plugged into the headphones. So the only replacement cable you can use is Sennheiser's proprietry cable which is out of stock in India.
Sennheiser has overdone themselves by making the worst designed headphones I have seen and I am never going to buy another one of their products. They have lost a long time customer by putting zero thought into the design of their headphones in the past few years.
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
Received the product today and I was horrified at how uncomfortable the headphones are. I saw several YouTube reviews and user reviews for this product all praising the comfort of the headphones but I have no idea how anyone can call these headphones comfortable and what kind of head torture devices they were using before.
The clamping force is okay but the earpads are rough and hard and barely provide any cushioning. I am baffled by how Sennheieser keeps making such poorly designed headphones. The higher the price, the lower the comfort. I am currently using the Sennheiser HD 350BT and was disappointed with that headphones because the earpads have very narrow space inside and don't fully enclose anyone's ears (except children). However those headphones are MUCH more comfortable than these Sennhiser HD 559.
You also get only a 2.5mm to 6.3mm cable (again a genius decision...not) which normal users won't be able to use. I assumed that it was a 3.5mm to 6.3mm cable so I bought a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable to use instead. Now I found out that it's actually a 2.5mm plug in the headphones so I've ordered a converter from Amazon now.
I can't comment on the sound until I get the converter. Hopefully I won't be disappointed by the sound at least. Sadly I can't return this product and have to get used to the horrible comfort or maybe replace the earpads with something else(again, more expenditure).

Die Sache ist simpel. Wer einen Sennheiser HD558/598 einfach nochmal etwas dunkler und wärmer abgestimmt haben möchte, sollte ihn probieren. Wenn man dann kein Problem damit hat, das dieser Kopfhörer den Bass tatsächlich etwas anhebt, wird hier sehr zufrieden sein.
Wem Sennheiser generell zu düster abgestimmt ist, der sollte die Finger davon lassen. Finde Sennheiser klingt in allen ihren Kopfhörern grundsätzlich zu 90% gleich, die Basis wird selten verändert. Wo man beim HD800 einfach 10% in die Helle/Offene Richtung sich steigert, geht es hier einfach in die andere Richtung, ohne das für mich solide Klangbild des HD598 zu zerstören. Man merkt welche Technologie den HD559 antreibt und das ist auch gut so. Nur eben hier mit etwas mehr Pepp im unteren Bereich.
Wer Metall, Rock und Akustik hört wird hiermit im Schnitt mindest genau so wenn nicht mehr zufrieden sein vorallem für Metall und Rock. Aber hiermit könnte man evtl auch ein paar andere Musikarten hören ohne das etwas fehlt. Elektro/Rap/Hip Hop/D&B etc (Höre ich nicht mehr aber wer es mag.)
Für Klassiche Musik, Feine Streicher und wer nur Akustik hört oder viel weiblichen Gesang, sollte mit dem HD598/HD660S besser beraten sein.
Der ähnlichste Kopfhörer für mich bei anderen Marken wäre der Philips X2 und X1. Wobei der Philips nicht zu dunkel und rund klingt sondern etwas aufgeregter ist in den Höhen.
Für die 66€ Primeday Preis sollte sich jeder Mensch ihn zulegen der nicht gerade Kopfhörer verachtet. Für den Originalpreis eine klare Kaufempfehlung für jeden der sich in meiner Rezension wiederfindet.
Hoffe ich konnte manchen weiterhelfen bei der Entscheidung und hoffentlich einen Tick glücklicher und zufriedener werden lassen.
MfG Michele G. Iurlo


No sound stage to speak of. Bass is overcooked and muffled. Other frequencies are mishandled too.
Overall fog in the ears experience. Even at <£90 - AVOID.
Boxed for return with an hour.

Pros:
They are comfortable, and don't shift around they seem to hug your head not tight enough to cause discomfort
Very high sound definition especially on the high end. Every sound is distinct sounds don't morph and distort they don't mash into nothingness each sound acts as its own layer. The bass is distinct too with each thump not mashing or messing with the treble, however, I will note that on some songs that bass sounds less distinct then I would like it to be still very distinct just not as distinct as it could be.
Speaking of bass there's alot to go around, each thump and rumble is very pronounced you can feel it
Finally, we come to build quality despite being plastic these headphones are very sturdy it feels like you could thrash these around with no worry of them breaking them or even scratching them.
Cons:
There aren't alot of cons but there worth mentioning
Sound stage. Ok, this is really minor but the sound stage isn't as wide as I'd like it. Don't get me wrong it's there and you can tell but the vocals feel a tad too close. Everything else, treble, bass, etc is fine but the vocals are just a little close.
Lack of accessories. Now I'll concede for this price point I'm not expecting an aluminum mic stand or anything fancy but at least a carry bag no matter how cheap and also for whatever reason, Sennheiser on a budget pair of audiophile headphones has not included a 6.5mm to 3.5mm adapter I mean the things are pennies to produce and I don't think its inclusion would have raised the price much if at all.

Después descubrí dos hechos importantes:
1) Tocan más alto que mis antiguos auriculares (también Sennheiser de una gama más baja) y cómo la calidad de sonido es mejor, no nos damos cuenta de que el sonido es más alto. Si no coloca el volumen demasiado alto, no exageran los bajos ni distorsionan.
2) Algunos altavoces necesitan algún tiempo para funcionar hasta que se suelten y alcancen todo su potencial. Creo que estos auriculares también necesitan al menos unas 20/30 horas de funcionamiento para estabilizar el sonido.
En este momento, estoy "apasionado" por estos auriculares, que considero una excepcional compra por el precio de la promoción.
La única razón que me lleva a dar sólo 4 estrellas es que la Sennheiser ha tenido la "brillante" idea de poner en auriculares de esta gama un jack de 6.35mm y no uno de 3.5mm, y todavía no incluiran un adaptador! ¿Piensan que quien tiene muchos jacks de 6.35mm a su alrededor, utiliza auriculares de esta gama ??? Si desea conectarse al portátil o al teléfono móvil, le aconsejo comprar un cable adaptador y no un bloque para no romper el conector.
Pido disculpas por mi lenguaje, pero no hablo castellano.
