I've been hot and cold on Sennheisers, I have a pair of their older wireless RF home theater headphones that are not really that comfy (too wide), and too light on the bass, by far, but I don't really use them anymore. In any case, I already had end-game headphones, including my wonderful Hifiman open planar HE400Is, but I wanted something closed-back for portable usage, and these fit the bill. They really, really sound good, even right out of the box they sounded pleasing, comfort is great, lightweight build, closed-back, don't leak sound much, and the overall sound signature is bass solid, mids good, highs really, really good, and shimmering and clear. It may be true that the Sennheiser open-backs sound superior overall, but these are some of their better closed-back cans, by far. They sound warm, clear, punchy, and not too closed or claustrophobic. The bass is tight and punchy, but never overbearing. The highs are not strident, clear as a bell, but will not cause headaches! And the price is a steal. If you need lightweight, portable closed-back cans, these are some of the best you can choose right now. I also own the new Pioneer X7 DJs, and those are excellent too, although perhaps more for rock, dance music, reggae, techno, pop, etc., and the Sennheisers can handle anything with finesse, and they are selling for a lot less money right now. Don't even hesitate, if you need good light closed cans, for walking, portable, or even home pleasure music listening, the 569s are an excellent choice. My only complaint is I only got one really long cable with my pair, but you can easily pick up some shorter ones. I'm running mine at home on the Creative Labs G6 amp card, and on the go with a Fiio A5 amp, and both are bringing the best out of these phenomenal light closed-backs. Buy them now! I really think Sennheiser hit a home run with these particular headphones. And that's from an old time audio nut that is very picky about what he uses and likes. Read full review

The sound is not good in the midrange and the lows are weak. Much better choice is the Sennheiser HD Pro 280 and it also costs less at around $99.00 brand new. The sound is perfectly balanced and it has better magnets for the drivers which give you better soundYou will not be dissapointed

I really like these very clean natural sound. They are easy to drive 18 ohms. I have tried these with my DAC very good very accurate. Comfortable and solidly built I own three different pairs of Sennheiser's. I would definitely recommend these.

These are one of the best closed-ear headphones you can get. Sound quality is superb. The only thing I dont like - the ear puffs push quite hard into the head, which combined with wearing glasses is a bit comfortable. I had similar issue with other Sennheiser headphones, the headphones should get a bit more loose over the time, which will help with that. Overall, great headphones.

It was in brand new condition. Box was good. Headphones took about 30 to 40 hours to burn in. It sounds just as great as the HD598 CS which I had previously. Comfortable and isolates sound well.
