The box containing Sennheiser HD 598 has arrived after buying it through Boxing Day sale at Amazon. There was a QR code on the side to see if it is an authentic product, but I don't know if this really is the best way to validate it. It has low resistance, so it seemed ok to use without a dedicated sound card or an amp.
Cool color scheme. I am personally fan of unique colours and since I won't be using this outside my house since its an open headphone, I might as well get the fancy headphone for my entertainment.
The headphone is very light for its size and earcups are cushiony. The clamp and the top of the head still needs some time for me to get used to. I have used it for about 4 hours straight listening to music and playing games. It didn't make me sweat or have much of a headache if any.
I haven't used any high end headphones before so only direct comparison I can make is cheap earphone, URBANEAR headphone, and Bose over ear headphone I've borrowed from a friend. Meaning, I can't really comment on the specifics of its machinery. Compared to other headphones, I was able to hear new instruments and tracks that I could not hear before. It is so amusing to just focus on trying to find out what kind of sound I was missing from my favorite music. At first, the vocals seemed bit drowned, but it did get better as I listened to it more.
The comfort is great. Light, not tight, but BOSE one has to be one of the lightest and comfortable headphone I have tried. But the purpose of the two headphones are bit different, so that was expected. It didn't make me sweat or give me a headache so it is a pass.
I'm not much of a bass lover, but I can see how this headphone may seem boring to many listeners. However, great for acoustic music.
