It's my very late recent discovery and I am blown away with how good they perform! I bought them used for 💲20 changed ear pads for... leather (I know, not usual choice for open backs) random cushions I had left and to be honest I prefer them more then X2HR (too muddy with harsh 5,5kHz and no air) Actually I find their soundstage not bad at all comparing to HD560S (maybe because of pads) I am surprised that I enjoy listening to music on them more then other hp that are 3-4 times pricier. They kind of remind me of SHR440 wich to me are very underrated close backs. I treat them with Sonarworks ID and they (Shure) have enormous capacity of low bass reproduction when EQ properly. All the best for all hp geeks out there 🎧 🫠

It's a pitty you missed Sporta Pro, same family but huge difference in sound signature vs Porta Pro. I use to like Porta but they are very uncomfortable for me and I can't stand this 150Hz bump that goes to low midrange and makes sound muddy. Also they are very dark, not so much details in high frequencies, apart from 5,5 kHz not so welcome peak there is no upper treble at all. Anyway sometimes I like to watch your channel.

I know I definitely still want to try sporta pro and there's the KPH40 now as well. The Yaxi pads for these models help with the upper treble but they also introduce a bit more of that 5k peak too. You can see that on oratory1990's graphs

I just had comparison of SHP9500, AKG K371, and Sennheiser HD58X several weeks ago. SHP9500 is good value, but no comparison to the other 2, other than the sound stage. Upper-mid is recesesed, and with elevated upper-bass(almost 15db difference in FR chart), that resulted in a V-shaped preception(more high & bass than mid). K371 has the best timber, but I cannot stand the narrow sound stage. 58X is the most neutral, even, and sound stage is reasonably good to differentiate the details. Eventually I chose HD58X cuz I also used it for playing my synth, which cannot be EQ'd as the laptop can.

The 280 is a classic right alongside other highly popular studio monitor headphones like the MDR-7506. The Sennheiser clamps fairly hard but it's necessary for as much passive isolation as I've heard from a closed back headphone. At least they are fully over-ear so nothing like an IEM

Thanks for this, much appreciated. The spatiality & mids are fantastic. It has good upper & mid bass quantity once it’s powered properly, pad rolling also helps. It does have minor sub bass roll off & it isn’t the most slammy. It’s a special headphone, no doubt about that.

I bought these back in the late nineties at Mars Music. They’ve always been difficult to drive. I also purchased a Benchmark DAC1 to power them. I used them for critical listening and mixing. I especially used them for referencing mastering projects I would do. Their bass response wasn’t ever good enough to get accurate mixes and masters and be sure you did a good job. They are so light and easy to wear. I tried buying another pair on eBay years later for parts but those turned out to be fake. They had the wrong drivers in them and they sounded awful.

These headphones (HD599SE for me) are INCREDIBLE! I bought mine 5 years ago and NOTHING even comes close to sound quality, comfort, and performance. I try using other 'hi end, S tier audiophile' headphones and I keep coming back to these. I don't know what it is about them, but they are perfect for me and I have still to find a better alternative. If they stop making these I don't know what to do except maybe I should buy more and just keep them for standby if these cans ever should fail me.

The good news is it's unlikely Sennheiser will discontinue this 5xx line of headphones. I'm old enough to remember that they've been around since at least the 2000s with the 555/595, then there was the 558/598, and now the 599. All of these basically have been filling out this fairly affordable open back tier for their product line for quite some time

I got mine in 2023 and they are great. Plus you can get them now on sale for $100 Cad which is like $80 USD and at that price you cannot beat it. The hd6xx is better but its much but they cost generally between $180 - $210 USD or near $300 Cad before the $10 - $20 shipping added on. In addition with the hd6xx you will need to get an amp to drive as with all the 500s you don't really need it. Probably the best value these days id argue.
