Amazing
The headphones sound amazing. These do sound a bit warm but a little bit of eq will sort them out. What surprised me was even though they are open back these have good bass as well it's tight and has a little bit of sub bass as well.

Pretty good
1 Month Review - They sound really good whether in video games or music/movies, however the comfort is not there if you have a large head, due to plastic headband the headphones go back to their original shape even if you stretch them with a box for 15 hours, I can only wear them for 20 minutes straight before they start putting pressure on my jaw, for comparison Hyperx Cloud 3 will loosen up over time but these won't. Avoid if you have a large head but then again there aren't many alternatives and on papers Beyerdynamic are supposed to have 2x higher clamping force. These are called as the lightest headphones but I guess those who reviewed them aren't sensitive to high clamping force or have a small head. Verdict - Sound - 9/10 Comfort (clamping force) - 2/10 Comfort (earpad material) - 10/10 doesn't sweat Video games - 9/10 (elevated bass reduces the shrill sound of gun fire which is a plus point)

Beginner Level Audiophile Headphone
A decently good sounding headphone. Not hifi audiophile quality but pretty good for the 8k. People using 4-5k rupees in ear and over ear can expect a big sound quality improvement and believe me these were the first near audiophile sounding headphones for a lot of people but not me coz I tried the hd 650 much before this and that is a audiophile standard reference so nothing comes close to that. But for a asking price it's good headphone but decent build quality, light weight design and two years of Sennheiser warranty which is a peace of mind incase anything wrong happens. My only issue that the earcups are not that deep so your ears may touch the inside which may make you feel uncomfortable slightly, it's not a big issue though. Coming to the sound the treble is smooth and not fatiguing, mid range has good presence and slightly forward. The bass seems to be bumped up and is really punchy and thick. It has a strong mud bass. Soundstage is also pretty wide so the music feels really good.

Comfortable, and great sounding.
I bought these in Aug ( about 5 months back), so a long term review ig? tldr: I Have absolutely loved them since the day I received them and highly recommend for the open back option! PS: the open back hype is real guys, there is a huge difference Prior to buying them I had tried the: 1. Sony XM300 - great comfort and noise cancellation - hated the sound, found it too bassy 2. AKG MX50 - didn't find anything great about the sound, the build quality was amazing, the earcups didnt go over my ears, sorta stayed on top of them 3. Some IEMs - great for the price but very unreliable, usually not comfy So going into this my priority was straight - No compromise on sound, neutral sound (tho, if needed prefer bass over sparkle), good build quality, well known brand that has good warranty, price/performance ratio Note: I didn't care about the sound cancellation as I live in a fairly quite place For what I wanted, these are perfect in every sense. The sound signature is close enough to the HD6XX series while being almost half the price (in India atleast), the comfort is top notch even with specs, not too bassy while still being enjoyable in songs that need bass (a bit warm, great for long sessions), the tremble has never pierced my ears. Only downside I see is, i wish they were more portable.

Mysterious is music , Movies will blow you away.
Well after falling in all the hype about combining a capable enough dsp dac amp with an open back headphone a person is propelled into a world of blissful surround sounds i decided to try this hands down once and for all. After about half an hour of burning the headphones in with some 24bit Flac songs i went ahead to test it. Played multiple songs and movies via the Walkman , X3 amp , Note 9 phone. First impressions: Build : The build quality is excellent, it's all plastic that seems like it is made to last and keep it light for comfort. The mechanism also feels reliable. So 5/5 Comfort: Very good , not fatigued after 1 hour , No unwarranted peaks in any frequencies. Its winters here in the north so it also doubled up as a scarf insulating my ears from the peircing cold. Sound isolation: Well what would one expect from an open back , it's terrible. But it is what it is. You have to be alone and in a quite environment to listen to these. Sound will leak both ways. Package contents: Well the box that comes with it is unimpressive, it is a waste like soft cardboard box which is labeled as "frustration free" packaging, it's all nonsense. If it was a good quality box one would use it to keep the headphones after use safely,and won't throw it away. No i will have to purchase a headphone case adding more to the environmental damage. You get two cables one being a 6mm and one 3.5mm with a 6mm to3.5mm converter plug. Sennheiser took good care in that area. Sound : Well i come from using the following in order of magnitude Most vintage models of Sony tape walkman headphones and earphones Mdr xb 60ex Mdr xb500 Mdr xb 90ex Mdr xb 75ap ( Skull rattler ) Mdr ex220 Asus rog headset Xba H3 ( My personal favorite in all areas ) Shure se 846 ( Skull breaker , My almost perfect set but gets beaten in High frequency department) As you can see there is only two over the ear headphones. Now i have always been disappointed by the music of over the head headphones due to lack of proper Isolation and driver limitations. Being my first open back This HD559 is no different to closed back in music department. Music coming out of it is unimpressive , you get almost no proper bass rumbles in the tracks that have them but maybe it's my fault. (more on that later). The soundstage although quite good does not impress you enough to warrant the sacrifice in sound isolation and lower frequencies. Sometimes some songs get tinny and empty, sometimes they come out good but never great. Apart from that i maybe wrong with my eqs and settings i will update after a week of listening. Movies : WTF This has blown all my in ear headphones far away , nothing comes close to the immersive theater like experience while pairing it with the X3 amp and switching on the xfi. You are instantly placed in a premium position of a proper dts tuned theater seat. All the action is all around you and dialog of the actors are clear and crisp even during intense explosions and gunfire. Things are properly imaged bodies dropping to the ground , bullets whirring past you thunders in the sky everything is represented perfectly. Imaging is more vertical than horizontal. Now the bass : While the music had no bass on it , on movies while on xfi turned on the bass reaches skull rattling levels without getting distorted or overlapping any other frequencies. It is unreal and brings a huge smile on your face and the only reason i did not return these back. The explosions shake you bullets fired seem real , thunders are near to being real. For movies this is the ultimate solution for me the END GAME so to say. Haven't tested it yet on games but have heard quite a praise for them in that regard. Conclusion: These mysterious headphones struggle to pump up the proper bass notes on music but will pummel your head in movies. Maybe i am doing something wrong on my amp but i have tried to bring it on the music by various ways. The world shattering bass is there waiting to be unleashed but with mysterious ways. The mids are perfect for both Male and females all the frequencies are present and quite powerful. The highs are a bit laid back and roll off at the highest levels quite quickly , whenever you will need them desperately they will bail out on you. But overall they are fine. Is it worth the money ?. For movies absolutely. 100% For music Maybe For games , haven't tested yet but i am confident they will excel in that department. Very good product. Highly satisfied.
