Personal Review
"In this comprehensive review, I share my honest thoughts on the Sennheiser HD 598 Over-Ear Headphones, covering their sound quality, build, comfort, and more, while comparing them to other popular models in the market."
— Yaki Eliyayev
8.7
These headphones provide a smooth and tight bass response. It's not overly punchy or bloated, offering a refined and controlled low-end that's perfectly balanced for most genres. However, they might not satisfy bass heads looking for overwhelming bass impact.
9
The treble detail is crisp without being overbearing. High frequencies are handled with precision, enhancing the overall clarity without causing fatigue. Sibilance is well managed, maintaining a pleasant and engaging listening experience.
9.3
The HD 598 excels in midrange clarity, delivering vocals and instruments with natural and authentic tonality. It’s particularly effective at presenting the nuances in vocals and midrange instruments, making it perfect for vocal-heavy genres.
