Editorial note

The Sennheiser HD 598 stand out for their exceptional sound quality, with a sensitivity of 112 dB and a low harmonic distortion of 0.1 %. These features ensure faithful and immersive audio reproduction, perfectly suited for audiophiles. Additionally, their lightweight design of 270 g and in-ear coupling provide prolonged comfort, allowing for long listening sessions without discomfort.
