Sennheiser claims the design of the HD 598 to be inspired by the Euro sport sedan’s interiors color scheme. While by this the company meant to give it a premium feeling one can’t actually say that the color scheme of the interior of a premium car can actually suite a premium headphone as well.

Design and features


The Sennheiser HD 598 is circular in shape, so they are designed to cushion the entire ear. The headband is wrapped in a very smooth, leather-like material. The underside of the headband is heavy padded that gives you a very luxurious feel.

A pliable plastic band attached to the ear-cup suspension slips inside the headband that provides various adjustments to provide good fit for various head sizes. The suspension as well as the outer ear-cups is made of a durable resin material.
