Sennheiser HD518, HD558, HD598, HD600, HD650, HD700 and HD800 Group Headphone Review and Comparison

This is the BEST Sennheiser headphones comparison video I can find on the Internet. Thank you so much for this, it certainly helped me in making my decision to buy the Hd600! Big thumbs up!

This is the best Sennheiser model number run downs I've ever heard. Nicely done

this is THE best headphone review I have ever seen! I even bought the HD 598 because of this video and your individual review, and I thank you very much for that! I am very impressed with the 598s!

I really like the straightforward nature of this video. No camera rolls, ridiculous pans, blurs, lighting, etc. Just you sitting there going through headphones and providing honest feedback on what people care about.

I'm surprised there aren't more comparisons like these. There are so many products that are so similar to each other yet you don't really know the key differences in between them. This review/comparison is how it's done.

I own HD598cs, HD650, HD700. In the beginning, the 700's highs were a bit much for me, but after hours of listen, i got used to it and it's definitely my favorite by a mile.

This is my first comment on Youtube. I just wanted to say this is a great, great video and review. I laughed at the beginning when you compared the comfort, and I really enjoyed hearing you spill the beans on the differences and the benefits of each headphone. I was waffling on 558 and 598, and now I'm certain to get the 598.  Thanks for all the work.

I bought HD 600 based on this review. Thanks man! My HD 595 (120ohm) got too loose, the crappy plastic got broken and the headband padding is pretty much shot after years of use. So I needed a new set. I compared the two and they are not that apart from each other, but it's almost like comparing 720p vs 1080p soundwise. The fit thou... HD600 wins with a mile. The sound in HD 600 has more resolution, articulation and natural warmth. Bass has much more detail and the mid-to-upper range is really spot on and not vague in soundspace like on HD595. My applications range from home recording to gaming and these HD 600's just blew me away in all situations.

One of the very best reviews on Youtube. I cannot believe this video is 7 years old and still so very much relevant today.

Excellent review! I just got the HD598's and absolutely love them. I power them with my Soundblaster E-5. I compared them without the dac/amp and it is a huge difference. Lower frequencies were thin without amplification. These headphones trick me into thinking the sounds are coming from around the room "soundstage" and not from a speaker attached to my head. Side note: my IE Hifiman Re-600's are amazing at soundstage as well.

terrific reviews..covers all the bases...thanks

Just bought a pair of HD 598's. Can't wait for them to arrive.

"Really really comfortable... very easy to wear." So much Pokemon reference I cannot even. Also, thinking about a pair of 518s after watching your reviews :)

Man, this was an excellent preview. Completely helped me make a purchasing decision. Definately no verbal dunnage here. Nothing but straight data. Thank you.

This is a fantastic review ....... I couldn't have done it any better. It's funny I found this after purchasing my HD-598's. But it seems we came to the same conclusions in that my favorites are the 598 and what I may eventually pick up and initially fell in love with ....... the HD-700's

Awesome points! Listening to this video on my HD 518s. Had them for well over a year and a half and they have never gotten dull!

This guy does the best headphone reviews. I highly recommend not spending over $50 on headphones if he hasn't reviewed them.

I own the HD800 and I have to say, they sound pretty great even with a relatively cheap mobile amp/dac like my Oppo HA-2. Just with the HD800 headphones alone the sound quality you hear will simply jump to another level compared to $300-600 HPs. They do benefit greatly from a dedicated amp and dac, but they will sound wonderful through anything worthwhile that can drive them to 75%. Still, I highly recommend not putting out 1k for HPs unless you're willing to dish out enough to give them at least 90-95% of what they deserve... Also its worthy to mention that although the HD600s and beyond need an amp, the HD800s dont only need one but are extremely picky in what amps work and what dont edit: I use them with an HDVA600 and DacMagic Plus playing hifi Tidal through an HP Pavillion PC. Works for me.

I'm Japanese This movie is interesting! Please do your best from now on！

I just spent the last 5 days researching headphones trying to decide what to buy next. After wasting money looking for something that I like. Sennheiser seemed to call out to my from my research but after your review I'm so informed and impressed with your presentation so much that after 5 days of watching you tube videos I finally commented on yours. I'm a bass person so I want the 650 but because of budget and the help of your review I'll go with the 598. Thanks again.
