Many high-fidelity headphones place very little emphasis on the looks and designs of their headphones, and it is not surprising as their focus are mostly towards the sound quality instead of aesthetics. Sennheiser is one such company – however, with the HD598, Sennheiser has also put in some classy-looking aesthetics to make the headphone standout.
The main attraction for the HD598 is certainly not the aesthetics, it is the fantastic sound experience. The Sennheiser HD598 carries true-to-life audio replication of your songs and music with the highest of sound accuracy. The crispy clarity of all the musical instruments and the vocals make it seem like you’re right in the room with the musicians and singers, and the lows are nice and tight without being overly boomy – in short, it’s super high quality audio unlike your typical pair of headphones.
The Sennheiser HD598 comes with Sennheiser’s very own innovation: E.A.R. technology. The HD598 is built with a special diaphragm geometry that minimizes sound distortion while delivering amazing audio right into your ear. What this basically means is that the headphones uses diaphragms that are inclined at an angle to channel sound directly into the ears; listeners will be able to fully immerse themselves into the full audio experience with the HD598 headphones.
As stated, Sennheiser pulled out the stops when it comes to the HD598, presenting not only one of the best in class in terms of audio quality, but also in producing a luxurious looking pair of headphones. The HD598 headphones are designed to be open-backed headphones, and it comes primarily in a beige colour with wood-pattern accents.
