So good I bought them three times!
3 of 3 found this helpful These are awesome in every sense of the word. I have owned a very wide range of headphones and could be considered a collector. Current pairs include: HD580, HD650, HD599, DT880 Pro, DT770 80 ohm, AKG K712 Pro, Philips SHP9500, Fostex T50RP Mk3. Running a Schiit Modi Multibit DAC and a Schiit Asgard 2 amp.
My first somewhat Hi-Fi headphones were the HD598s years ago. They were very underwhelming for me at the time, and I sold them for some more exciting Beyerdynamic headphones. Over time my tastes got more refined and I revisited the HD598 in its newer brother, the HD599. I LOVED them instantly, and going back to the 598s borrowed from a friend, finally loved those too. My friend with the HD598s loved the HD599s as well and offered to buy them from me. So I cut him a deal. However I ended up missing the HD599s so badly that I bought another pair, lol. HD598, HD599, HD599. I can't get rid of these things, haha.
I fell in love with the HD599 very quickly. To me they are every bit the equal to the HD580 and HD650 in my collection. Kind of differently tuned, soundstaged and voiced, but similar overall ability. Definitely not flat. More of a shallow V shape like the HD650s but with more mid presence and smoother treble. They have less peaky treble than the HD598s despite even more extension, and their mids are absolute perfection. Despite definitely having the "Sennheiser Veil" these headphones do a stunning job rendering detail. The more extended treble mixed with the veil creates an amazingly smooth response. Super pleasant to the ears. Bass is likewise noticeably improved from the HD598 with better dynamics and a little stronger punch. Build quality is also better than the HD598 and they are just a little bit more solid with a better headband. The cups are super wide and fit perfectly on my ears and the wide angled drivers mean they have a much wider and more active soundstage than the HD6xx series. Not artificially massive but spacious with great dynamics and imaging. They are also dead easy to power so most phones, sound cards, and PC headphone jacks will do a pretty good job running them. That said they really benefit from an amp, as they have impedance spikes through out their range up to 300 ohms.
Superior comfort and nearly perfect sound mean these headphones punch far above their weight. For me they totally replace the HD650 as the "exciting" Sennheiser in my collection while the HD580 keeps its spot as the "boring reference" Sennheiser. Will be selling the HD650s. That's how good the HD599s are for me.
For the prices these can be got for on discount there is no reason to look further than these headphones for most people. They offer performance nearly on par with a lot of higher end dynamic headphones, and have awesome tuning. I can't recommend these enough, and see them as an equal to the more expensive headphones in my collection. The HD599 is a perfect refinement of the classic HD598 with all the right boxes ticked. Get a pair now.

Great buffer/polisher!
2 of 2 found this helpful For a light waxing or polishing of a new car, a random orbital is leagues better. However, for paint restoration, and buffing out fresh clearcoat, anything that needs real cutting power, a variable speed rotary is king. This entry-level DeWalt is really the cheapest option that has any sort of reputation or build quality worth mentioning. Everything cheaper is the same generic garbage over and over with 1000 different brand names. It's powerful, relatively quiet, and runs very smoothly. It stays cooler than my cheaper rotaries as well.
DeWalt builds their tools solid. I got mine moderately used and it works like new. Plus, it's totally re-buildable and the parts are cheap and common. Compares favorably to my Milwaukee power tools which are another rock solid brand. Highly recommended. Don't be tempted by the $80 cheapies out there. They are a waste of money. Go for Gold and get a tool that will last a lifetime. These are found new for around $250 and some discounts go as low as $180. Mine was used for $140.

Really Nice
1 of 1 found this helpful I bought this to replace an aging RX-V595A. A good older surround receiver, but lacking modern decoding capabilities like DTS-HD MA and DolbyHD. Lack of HDMI capability was also a hindrance with newer games consoles and Blu-Ray players starting to steer away from Optical audio. Optical and Coax are still well-supported, with all Blu-Rays having an optical-friendly Dolby Digital or DTS track on them, but they are no longer the best audio solution for home theater. The older receiver was also lower-powered, and my speakers love lots of power. It only made sense to move a few steps up in the Yamaha line. The improvements in sound quality and power capability are instantly apparent.
I'm not a true audiophile, but I am in the beginning stages, haha. Everything run with 14ga wire and gold-plated banana plugs for convenience. The 95wpc rating is high enough to run my speakers pretty well, but the fronts really like the Bi-Amping feature and benefit a lot from it. The receiver has plenty of power, enough features, and sounds excellent. I have all of the digital audio/video inputs full. The deinterlacing works fairly well and the multi-passthrough to HDMI is great. I have my HTPC/Gaming machine hooked up to this receiver through analog 3.5- RCA and it works great as a basic multi-channel amp in Pure Direct mode. Very low noise and good sound.
Have always liked Yamaha hardware and this is another fine example of what they do best. Shortage of HDMI inputs is a potential issue, but not for me.
This receiver is a bit lacking in features vs its competition, but makes up for it in sheer capability and quality for the price. Overall it blows my old receiver out of the water, and delivers excellent sound and image quality for the anyone looking for an all-in-one solution. Yamaha's above average build quality means it delivers above average results. Good intro for the budding audiophile, and a solid core to any mid range home theater system. Stays relatively cool when playing movies, but when playing 5ch stereo with the front speakers bi-amped, it gets pretty hot. Put this in the open where it can get plenty of airflow if you intend to blast music through it with power hungry speakers.
The price I got this for in used condition was insane by the way. An absolute steal.
