HD 559 Wired Over Ear Headphones Without Mic(Black)

Need amplifier to boost the signals. After which we can hear pure sounds. Mids & Treble sounds great. Bass had little roll off bit undistinguishable in the sound separation. Best for watching movies with good quality audio track. For songs, again it depends on the audio file quality/compression. Since it's Open back, the sound staging is wider & best to listen hifi recordings ☺

For - 1. Staging - these headphones have excellent staging and you can easily distinguish each sound and location 2. Clarity - Pump them at high volume without distortion. They are rated for 50ohm impedance, I'm driving them from computer's audio port so far no issues 3. Build Quality - These headphones are comfortable. The band is sufficiently padded and the pads are of good quality. It rests on top of your head and clamps around ears comfortably. 4. Open Back - Don't buy these headsets if you want to maintain your privacy. You can easily hear people around you and others can hear what you are listening to. But when it comes to content consumption the sound is natural and not forced. You can hear ceiling fan, your family, outside traffic, and in-game dialogues clearly at the same time Against: 1. Bass - If you want to feel your skull vibrating, these are not for you. The bass is ok to good for daily use. In games sounds. You will need some tuning to get the air vibrating around you 2. No inline mic

EDIT: These are the most disappointing headphones that I have used. The sound is too bassy and slightly muddy and not the balanced dark sound that I was expecting from Sennheiser. These headphones don't even qualify as entry-level audiophile headphones. Also my original 2.5mm to 6.3mm cable was chewed by my cat so I ordered a 2.5mm adapter to use. Turns out that I can't use the adapter because Sennheiser has a special grove on their 2.5mm end which allows it to be plugged into the headphones. So the only replacement cable you can use is Sennheiser's proprietry cable which is out of stock in India. Sennheiser has overdone themselves by making the worst designed headphones I have seen and I am never going to buy another one of their products. They have lost a long time customer by putting zero thought into the design of their headphones in the past few years. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Received the product today and I was horrified at how uncomfortable the headphones are. I saw several YouTube reviews and user reviews for this product all praising the comfort of the headphones but I have no idea how anyone can call these headphones comfortable and what kind of head torture devices they were using before. The clamping force is okay but the earpads are rough and hard and barely provide any cushioning. I am baffled by how Sennheieser keeps making such poorly designed headphones. The higher the price, the lower the comfort. I am currently using the Sennheiser HD 350BT and was disappointed with that headphones because the earpads have very narrow space inside and don't fully enclose anyone's ears (except children). However those headphones are MUCH more comfortable than these Sennhiser HD 559. You also get only a 2.5mm to 6.3mm cable (again a genius decision...not) which normal users won't be able to use. I assumed that it was a 3.5mm to 6.3mm cable so I bought a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable to use instead. Now I found out that it's actually a 2.5mm plug in the headphones so I've ordered a converter from Amazon now. I can't comment on the sound until I get the converter. Hopefully I won't be disappointed by the sound at least. Sadly I can't return this product and have to get used to the horrible comfort or maybe replace the earpads with something else(again, more expenditure).

Suenan muy bien aunque quizá al principio sean algo incómodos, dándoles una semana de uso uno se acostumbra a su sonido y su calidad de audio, en música suenan muy muy bien y lo sorprendente es que en videojuegos también! puedes escuchar los pasos claros como en el caso de Apex Legends y sabes diferenciar muy bien de donde vienen los sonidos

Nachdem ich mir ausnahmsweise vor Jahren mal einen AKG-Kopfhörer für 250 EUR gekauft hatte (K 501 glaube ich), welcher zwar einen überragenden Klang, dafür aber ständig Macken hatte und mir mit 320 Ohm irgendwann zu leise und auch mit der Zeit zu neutral klang, habe ich mich wieder auf meine ehemalige Marke Sennheiser berufen und keinen sündhaft teuren Kopfhörer geholt, sondern bin auf dem realistischen Teppich geblieben, da ich kein religiöser Hi-Fi-Spinner bin, sondern einfach guten, runden, satten Klang möchte - auch mal mobil. In Sachen Klarheit der Höhen kann er zwar nicht ganz so mit dem alten AKG mithalten (logisch, er kostet ja auch nur einen Bruchteil davon), aber dafür habe ich endlich wieder Bass-Power und keine knarzende Fehlkonstruktion, wie diese Seil-Konstruktion meines Ex-AKG. Dazu noch so ein rutschfest sitzender Bügel, aber nicht zuviel Druck und bequem um die Ohren, so dass man stundenlang damit hören kann und im Gegensatz zum AKG ein abnehmbares und austauschbares Kabel, was man zu schätzen weiß, WENN mal ein Wackelkontakt auftritt - bisher noch nicht vorgekommen (außer beim AKG). Und schöne Stoffpolster in Velours-Haptik, unter denen man nicht so erbärmlich schwitzt, wie diese Kunstleder-Seuche, die sonst immer verbaut ist. Für mich die richtige Wahl und wie immer ein gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.

I bought these for my wife who plays an electric piano regularly. She says that they are very comfortable and that the sound reproduction is superb, better than the speakers on our Kawai CA99 piano.

Er wordt op de product pagina beschreven dat er een mogelijkheid is om de koptelefoon aan te sluiten op een 3,5mm ingang, dit is incorrect. De enige meegeleverde aansluitmogelijkheid is de 2,5mm naar 6,35mm kabel. Het is best lastig om de kabel er weer goed in te krijgen. Ik had de kabel er uit gehaald voordat ik de koptelefoon getest had en toen ik hem er weer in deed kreeg alleen geluid aan de linkerkant. De geluidskwaliteit is erg goed met een dac. Je hoort de muziek precies als de artiest het bedoeld heeft en ondanks het open-back design heeft de koptelefoon voldoende bas. Daarnaast zit hij erg comfortabel, maar je oren worden er wel behoorlijk warm van als je de koptelefoon lang draagt. De bouwkwaliteit is uitmuntend voor het geld. Het is wel plastic, maar wel kwaliteits plastic.

If you are buying this because of Work from Home and you are after a headset that you can comfortably wear for more than 8 hours a day, this is actually pretty good. However, it turned out to be totally useless out of the box because the plug is the huge one for connecting to amplifiers and cannot plug into a laptop/PC without an adaptor. As I said, caveat emptor if you reason for buying is for WFH.
