I've had the HD 598 for almost a decade, recently picked up the 569 and I am enjoying them quite a bit. Sound wise it's almost exactly the same but it's much more isolated inside and out since it's closed back. Almost a perfect pair of headphones for me at least.
FINALLY! I've been waiting for a review on these!!! Thank you so much. I just ordered the 579 2 days ago and couldn't find almost any reviews on them so I am sure glad you uploaded this. Looks like I made the right choice. I definitely prefer a flat sound.
I just tried all 4 headphones side-by-side at CanJam Singapore 2017 before seeing this review. What you have described on the sound is exactly what i heard. My first choice for sound is 579 out of these four. I owned 558, 598, 600, 650, 6xx and is very familiar with sennheiser sound.

Came across your channel twice in one week while looking for reviews on specific products. Helped my decision on purchasing the s2417dg gsync monitor. Subbed. Love the depth of your reviews. I'm living in Bavaria right now :). Danke
Thank you so much for this review. You hinted me to exchange HD 559 to HD 569 and that was money well spent. I'm enjoying comfort and quality like never before. I'm so happy with this choice.
@@sanjaykumar.v8139 Still have 569 :-) They are rock solid in this price range. A few days I bought HiFiMAN Sundara. It's quite a noticeable upgrade in terms of sound quality, but quite a noticeable price difference as well. Thanks for asking!
@@sanjaykumar.v8139 There are so many options that it constitutes a problem in itself XD Audio perception is subjective as well and it adds up to the dilemma.

If you are on the budget I can clearly recommend you HD 569.
I’ve always found that the best senns aren’t necessarily the most expensive...prefer midrange priced models after extensive listening, and in that area compared today and 569 better than 579 . 569, 579 also comfortable.
same here .. I still have hd500 more then 10 years now and I am not aware I have put them on.. in fact if I don't put them on like something is missing. though I wanted to upgrade my listen experience so I invested in hd600. I was really disappointed. my old hd500 sounded better. now I think I will stick at the 500 series.
can u please recomend wire for the hd579? I got it second hand new and with cable nd hard to judge as theres no great cable, does the cable 2.5mm to 3.5mm have to have 2 rings to 2 rings or it does'nt make a difference?
Between the HD 599 and 579 based on the preference for "punch" favoring the 579 I would still go for HD 599 to be my main for work from home headphone for more pleasing the listen to for long periods, while I would get a nice closed back for when I want to go "punchy" like a DT 770 Pro, IMO that would be a more wise choice than going for a slightly more punch and completely discard the other benefits on the 599.
HD579 sounds best for me also, cleaner from HD599 more neutral similar to HD600, and HD579/599 are amazing in comfort (between these two I do not notice any differences but Damir has right HD599 have a bit litte thicknes cushion on headband), HD579 also for me looks better than HD599 in this cream/brown ala Noctua fans. Also HD579 have wider sound = better for gaming.
I have hd 569 and am very satisfied with them, because these are closed backed headphones , reducing outside noise, so you are protecting your hearing because you dont have to play it very loud , and are very comfort, sound is for me great too. Listen mostly to blues, acoustic and classical music . For movies are great . Maybe some day i could try beyerdinamic dt 990 or grado sr80e to compare with these, but those are open backed .
@Damir Franc, Which is better, these 579 or 598 sr? Looking a nice pair of headphones . These 579 are on sale for $100 and 598 sr are $130 let me know your thoughts please. If their is a better one I’m not seeing or best of these two for price point. Also see Beyerdynamic DT 990 for a higher price but u mostly have to use a amp and won’t always be doing that
Hi, i was a little confused about something, you say that the sound quality of the 579's is slightly better then the 599's, but at the end you say that the audiophile type of guy might elect the 599's, why do you consider that if you've given the 579's the best sound?
Noob! Because 599 is much more flat response than 579, and most of the so called Audiophile would prefer flat response, that's why 579 is overall winner.
Man, you seem like a smart and honest guy. I'm a gamer. A nice balance of highs and lows in frequencies is important to me but a "punchy" bass is also very important. Besides that, I want something with clarity in the audio, I like to hear details. What is the best headset, mic or micless, from any company that you could recommend for me? I've now bought Man O'War 7.1 Gaming Headset (refunded) and the SteelSeries Arctis 5 (going to refund) but I wasn't satisfied with either. I'm now looking at Sennheiser as a possibility for my next headset purchase. I'd be very happy if you responded.
I can't thank you enough for taking time out of your day to respond to me. I've watched of some of your other reviews and I also watched your "RUclips Salary" video. You deserve way more credit, the time you spend on making your videos is apparent to me. I'll check out those GSP 300's right away. Thank you again, Herr Franc! I'll definitely give it a thought to press that "subscribe" button ;)
@@kynun9624 I can't see it either, and I couldn't tell you from memory as it has been two years. Though I do recall him saying something along the lines of being very satisfied with them, and them being among the top headsets he has ever used (at that time). I'm still rocking my Sennheisers 350, which have held up in quality and are basically in the shape they came in. The earcovers, although used frequently, have held up really well. There's no sign of wear or tear. Having that said, I tend to wipe my earcovers with a cloth (usually my t-shirt) to not let any sweat or grime stay on there. I really recommend them if you want to settle on a pair of headsets. I haven't really used the surround option at all as I feel the regular stereo option gives me the audio I need. The surround option that comes with the 350's is basically the same as the other surround headsets -- the audio sounds more as if you're in a room with surround sound speakers than anything else.
Thanks so much for this in depth review. So grateful - I am going to get the HD599 I think as I am looking for that Audiophile sound in a relatively cheap headphone. I wonder how they compare to the HD600 or HD650 - any thoughts?
Just got the HD650s - they were only £11 more than the HD600 so a no brainer. I initially got the HD598SE and they were great and the sound stage was fantastic as well as being so convenient and easy to drive. I however could hear that they were almost there and not completely there. The missing potential just annoyed me. Not a bad sound but just knowing that there was more, was distracting. More base, more in the highs and more in the power of the sound. I got the HD650s for under £250 and got an SMSL M3 DAC/Amp and the difference is just astounding. The base is deep and full and the extension is just sweet and the decay is really satisfying. The highs are said (by some) to be veiled but my ears do not agree - I get the full highs without the uncomfortable sound that some headphones give. Cymbals and high-hats sound great and I can listen to them all day. Vocals are just right there as if Norah Jones is whispering into my ears .... a bit like being in the first row at a sit-down concert. I was trying to explain the difference to my wife and to my daughter and I came up with this ... these headphones do not make other headphones sound bad .... they change the way you experience the music. I have found myself listening to more of my music and listening to the whole track and then the whole album with a real interest. Not just music washing over me, which is great anyway, but my brain is interested in every note and sound. I can make out the 'th' sound from the 'f' sound and hear the finger clicks and the number of hands which are doing the clapping ... and all this without being fatigued. The HD598SE are great and I enjoyed them a lot - I have a number of headphones but realised that they were all closed back (The B&O H6 are closed but sound quite open and have quite good sound stage... but closed none-the-less). I was planning to listen to the HD650 and if they were too warm I was going to return them and get the HD600. I found that I love the warm and beautiful enveloping sound. I enjoy music more with it from classical to Deep-House. I have more clean and uncoloured cans, but while the HD958SE (very similar to the HD599) made my listening experience pretty, these HD650s make my music listening experience beautiful. Hope this helps. Loved your review - helped me a lot.
@@iu1191 I just ordered the hd598sr myself. I suppose I'll get to try them starting next week. I was looking for a good pair of open headphones at a relatively-speaking, lower price, so they seemed to fit the bill. Guess I'll find out soon enough^^
I really searched and found that i either want the audio Technica m40x or some other high quality headphones around 90 dollars. i want them for gaming mostly what do you think about the m40x for gaming? is there any recommendations?
Great video. I have 130 dollars to spend for headphones. I game a lot so I was thinking if the sennheiser game one. Are those worth it? But I also want to use the headphones for things like music and video. The 579 got a sale on Amazon for 124 dollars. Should I get the sennheiser 579 or the game one?
Back then I didn't really find the 579 so good for gaming but maybe my opinion would be different by now. The game one is very good but slightly lacks bass which most gamers don't seem to mind
I've heard alot of good things about the Cloud II aswell but the design and that huge mic are just not my cup of tea, thank you for the reply though! I guessed you'd say the ATH-M50x but I think everyone hates it by now.
@@TheNitpicker Thank you for the reply. Actually I ordered a pair of JBL c100si earphones but I noticed a significant drop in volume levels as compared to very cheap local earphones. Yesterday morning I ordered Sennheiser HD450 BT's but I had to cancel the order by afternoon because I came across a comment that said they weren't loud enough, which is why I am considering buying these wired ones, so it is important for me to know whether they are "loud enough", I absolutely don't like any cap on max volume.
I need help. I can not for the life of me decide between 569 and 599. I will use it mostly with iphone, and comfort is the most important aspect for me, so 569 seems like an obvious choice. But I do not want to miss out on sound quality. Since I do not plan to use an amplifier, will 569 sound better due to lower impedance? Powerful, but clean bass is a must for me.
There are lots of reviews saying 599 works just fine with mobile devices, but I can't find any comparison between these headphones when mobile source is used. If they perform similarly, I'd rather go with 599 and have the option to upgrade to better source later without having to also buy new headphones.
Are you talking about the locking mechanism on the earcups? I thought you meant the plug taut. goes into devices. Because the one on the cups is not standard due to the lock as you said, you might find others working but it won't be easy
fyi for anyone who might be wondering about cords, like this commenter, audio technica ath m40x cords work with the lock system on my hd558. Not sure if all seinheiser models can share cords, but if they do, these will also work.
What exactly does that tell us now? Although I don't even remember either of them much if at all anymore. Zeos talks a lot, that much I know lol. But back then I didn't have much experience yet, I wouldn't put to much trust in it, maybe, idk
I guess u like 569 more mostly for the closed back that's why there is deep bass that I also love. But 599 have way better soundstage and immersion for me , I miss the deep bass but I think all the Open back headphones doesn't go deep in to bass.
Like u I love headphones and music and I use a lot of them depending my mood ,for now 599 for gaming on ps4 in home, B&W p9 for music on my dac , for sports I use bose soundsports and HD1 free. and for my office I use HD1 neckband. But I want your help for 1 Headphone that I cant find ... I want a low ohm OVER ear headphone for my Mobile phone Samsung s7 edge , I prefer open back and sound and warm sound I don't like Overbright highs like the Sennheiser Momentum for example , I am more on B&W sound but I guess I will lose the deep bass . Please with your XP on headphones recommend me 2 NONE wireless for my mobile . THANKS a lot .

Thanks for your prompt reply. Still it would be nice to get your rating from your perspective. Ex. No 1 for Rock and Roll Listening is .... according to your taste

(They're 140 euros right now on amazon.de)
Yikes, do you have any suggestions for a closed back pair under 150 euros? I've spent this evening researching and still can't rightfully decide...
I've heard alot of good things about the Cloud II aswell but the design and that huge mic are just not my cup of tea, thank you for the reply though! I guessed you'd say the ATH-M50x but I think everyone hates it by now.
How do they stack up in terms of loudness?
I need them to go as loud as they can when required.
Loudness isn't limited by the headphones but the amp, they are all very similar though
@@TheNitpicker Thank you for the reply. Actually I ordered a pair of JBL c100si earphones but I noticed a significant drop in volume levels as compared to very cheap local earphones.
Yesterday morning I ordered Sennheiser HD450 BT's but I had to cancel the order by afternoon because I came across a comment that said they weren't loud enough, which is why I am considering buying these wired ones, so it is important for me to know whether they are "loud enough", I absolutely don't like any cap on max volume.
HD 559: 108dBSPL
HD 569: 115 dBSPL
HD 579: 106 dBSPL
HD 599: 106 dBSPL
I am sorry but my English is not so perfect. Could somebody help me? What did he said which one has the best bass? please help me a bit... thx
579
and 569 as well - they have good bass he said
The ivory and brown looks premium, and smexy
like Noctua fans :)
I need help. I can not for the life of me decide between 569 and 599. I will use it mostly with iphone, and comfort is the most important aspect for me, so 569 seems like an obvious choice. But I do not want to miss out on sound quality. Since I do not plan to use an amplifier, will 569 sound better due to lower impedance? Powerful, but clean bass is a must for me.
There are lots of reviews saying 599 works just fine with mobile devices, but I can't find any comparison between these headphones when mobile source is used. If they perform similarly, I'd rather go with 599 and have the option to upgrade to better source later without having to also buy new headphones.

I've decided to get hd 599 and switch my smartphone to lg v20. No amplifiers, cables, and all that mess.
569 is closed, the other one is open.
0:00 yes!😂
so any 3.5 mm heapdhone jack works with the 579's??
Sure what else would there be
@@TheNitpicker maybe a senheiser certified i really dont know,i was confused cause it had a locking mechnism
Are you talking about the locking mechanism on the earcups? I thought you meant the plug taut. goes into devices. Because the one on the cups is not standard due to the lock as you said, you might find others working but it won't be easy
fyi for anyone who might be wondering about cords, like this commenter, audio technica ath m40x cords work with the lock system on my hd558. Not sure if all seinheiser models can share cords, but if they do, these will also work.
569 doesn't come with an adapter.
Thanks man
Isent the 569 closed back?
Damir Franc thanks for the reply. Would they be decent without an amp/dac?
Guess what, zeos rated 559 better than all lol
What exactly does that tell us now? Although I don't even remember either of them much if at all anymore. Zeos talks a lot, that much I know lol. But back then I didn't have much experience yet, I wouldn't put to much trust in it, maybe, idk
@@TheNitpicker Exactly! I dont trust zeos as well and just watch it for entertainment
is he filming with an eye ball
What?
I guess u like 569 more mostly for the closed back that's why there is deep bass that I also love. But 599 have way better soundstage and immersion for me , I miss the deep bass but I think all the Open back headphones doesn't go deep in to bass.
Like u I love headphones and music and I use a lot of them depending my mood ,for now 599 for gaming on ps4 in home, B&W p9 for music on my dac , for sports I use bose soundsports and HD1 free. and for my office I use HD1 neckband. But I want your help for 1 Headphone that I cant find ... I want a low ohm OVER ear headphone for my Mobile phone Samsung s7 edge , I prefer open back and sound and warm sound I don't like Overbright highs like the Sennheiser Momentum for example , I am more on B&W sound but I guess I will lose the deep bass . Please with your XP on headphones recommend me 2 NONE wireless for my mobile . THANKS a lot .
@@Tripokaridos22 i bought hd 599 this week,, but soundstage doesn't seem to be good.
@@djsenr1761 compared to what ? HD599 have big soundstage i have them also read rtratings it shows there. But if u compare them with akg 7 series or fidelio series or beyer serues then yeah they dont... Compared to others they sound big. Did u let them play some time first for the mebranes to extend ?
@@djsenr1761 Compared to closed backs HD599 specifically have huge soundstage and u must feel it from day one. What amp dac unuse them ? And what games or music or movies ? Are u shure have good quality dac amp ?
@@Tripokaridos22 I don't have a separate dac, i use my phone and laptops inbuilt system (which might not be good), the volume is more than sufficient. I have read reviews where it said that the headphones are very easy to drive.
Wouldn't the soundstage be wide, eventhough i am not using a dac? Would a dac dramatically increase soundstage and quality for hd 599? If so please suggest me a cheap dac. Thank you
579 discontinued now, but you can find them on ebay for $100
I bought the Sennheiser HD 559, but maybe was not for me,
Alexander Enriquez Arroyo Do you still have them? you do not like them?
Are you related to the terminator?
Very confusing. So what is the #1? Please summarize at the end with list in proper order.
Thanks for your prompt reply. Still it would be nice to get your rating from your perspective. Ex. No 1 for Rock and Roll Listening is .... according to your taste
go to 344 its THICC
What about the 598?
No problem. Cheers!
569 has best bass
most doesn't mean best
@@TheNitpicker ?
the punch is not quite as punchy.
why tf are they doing these numbers so similar to one another? i dont get it. and which ones i should get for music in my mp3 lol?
yeah they look pretty nice
by the way have you already done a review on the conceptronic wireless headphones?
Damir Franc :) they are pretty loud and the sound quality doesn't even suffers a lot , the design is beautiful but of course I'd love to hear an opinion from a professional
just Google it they'll probably show up
