The chrome finish helps it glide overall, very thoughtful and convenient. This way, you can literally just slide the 2.5mm cable inside. It's a very sleek design, and it's designed in a way that you don't have to "search" for the input hole but rather, it acts as a guide. Before I get into a bit more detail about the twist-lock mechanism, I want to mention that the inner side of the 2.5mm input (where you connect the cable to the headphones) is at an angle, and the inner side of it is in a silver chrome finish. This is another feature which I would consider iconic - the twist-lock mechanism. The left ear cup is the one where the 2.5mm input is (where you connect the headphones). Photo reference: 2.5mm housing in chrome finish (left ear cup) I can mainly tell this by the touch sensation of the plastic piece which holds the earcups (it's the curved part to which the ear cups are attached to), when it's facing the correct way, it's facing you. In fact, they are shaped in a way that you can actually tell if they are facing the correct direction just by feel when you pick them up. It's a nice touch, although it isn't necessary (since you can only wear the HD 598 one way). They are printed in the same dark chocolate brown as the rest of the accents, and they are printed in a large font. There is a labeling for "Left" and "Right" on the facing side of the ear cups. you just buy the HD598SE which is a special edition of the HD598, which is a blacked out version. You either love the colorway or you hate it. In my opinion the colorway is what makes the HD 598 authentic. Overall, it has that retro feeling to it. These accents are present on the earpads, the "ring" around the grill, and the high-gloss burl. The whole headphone is in a beige finish, mixed with nice dark chocolate brown accents. That's why I say it's not a fair comparison, but it is still worth mentioning because overall, it contributes to the experience. When Massdrop was having the collaboration headphone with Sennheiser (HD 6xx), I think their focus was to build it for as cheap as possible, but not cheap out on the sound. Although not quite the most valid comparison (because I believe Massdrop x Sennheiser 6xx was made with different intentions), if we were to compare the build quality of the HD 6xx and the 598, HD 598 is far superior and more premium than the 6xx. Durability was definitely something Sennheiser had in mind when making the HD 598.īuild quality meets the standards of its price range.

At least judging from it being run over with my chair (the rubber withstood the "blow") I even accidentally had my full weight distributed on them when my cable got under the leg of another chair (this chair didn't have wheels). Actually, let me state how good the cable is It's one of the most durable and best cables I have seen.

The cable is tangle free and overall, it's a nice thick (rubber) cable which you don't have to worry about. The included cable is 3m long, and has a 6.3mm jack, the 3.5mm adapter is included. Of course, there is a metal grill on the ear-cups pretty standard for open-back headphones. Each ear piece features just enough tilt and pivot to let the HD 598 adapt to your head and make them a comfortable fit. The leatherette headband feels nice nothing to complain about, especially when they are on your head. There is nothing that presents a concern about them breaking. Sennheiser made sure to use sturdy and high quality plastic. Judging its build quality by the price I managed to get them at (~€140), the build quality IS something to write home about. It truly is a great overall choice, it's non-fatiguing, very comfortable and enjoyable to listen to. If you catch these at a discounted price, they are a steal. In the sub-200 USD category it's a king of its own, and this is how many people perceived them as for years.
The Sennheiser HD 598 is an entry-audiophile headphone from the well-known German manufacturer, Sennheiser.
