Absolutely superb.

By TheBomster (play.com) Read the full review

First things first; what a brilliant pair of headphones. I have burnt them in now for about 100 hours and they just sound fantastic. Highs, lows, mids, bass - it has it all covered. Soundstage is insane. Gaming, music and films are all a joy. Well and...

Sennheiser HD 595 headphones review

By Luke Westaway (cnet.co.uk)

The Sennheiser HD 595s sound smashing, and come at an accessible price. The open-back design has many benefits in terms of sound quality, but it does mean these headphones are very leaky, both in terms of your music leaking out and ambient noise...

Great sound quality ; Very comfortable ; Smart headphone bracket included

Extremely leaky ; Not terribly stylish

Likewise, you'll still be able to hear virtually everything going on around you since sound can also leak in through that open back -- not so great on noisy trains

Think about where you plan on using them before buying

These Sennheisers manage to be curvaceous and look sharp. There's Eargonomic acoustic refinement and Duolfol diaphragm technology too

These ‘phones are curvy, comfy and top value – especially good for prolonged ear-melting

Sennheiser HD595 review

By tech.co.uk staff (techradar.com)

In a world where DVD players costing over £100 are now considered virtually high-end, a £150 pair of headphones needs to be pretty darn special. And luckily, these don't disappoint too much

Crystal-clear sound ; Very comfortable

Pricey, but just how much do you like your music

Review: Sennheiser HD 595

By Luke Westaway (asia.cnet.com)

The Sennheiser HD 595 may let some noise in, but we're floored by the audio quality.

Comfortable; very good audio quality

Poor noise isolation; requires good amplifier for best audio quality

The open-back design makes these cans incredibly leaky, but they sound brilliant.

Sennheiser HD 595 Headphones

By Chris McGivern (shopexplorer.com)

I've had enough. It's been too long since I indulged in a pair of new headphones and I have become over-accustomed with bland, poor quality noise emanating from just about every single digital product in my flat. My fridge has a better bass response...

Sound quality; comfort; all-round excellence

Sound leaks; colour scheme

Design & ComfortBut I say £130 well spent. Sennheiser's HD 595 headphones aren't the most attractive ear gear on the market - or even that Sennheiser have produced. The greeny-grey colours are too military for my liking, as is the metal grill that you...

Sennheiser HD 595 Headphones

By Chris McGivern (reviewexplorer.com)

With so much inter-linking media available, it’s important that your headphones stand up to a few other tests, not just music. Connecting up to your HDTV will help you find hidden depths of sound that you had previously not realised existed. It’s the...

Tinny noise and my aging eardrums have had a massive falling out and I’ve been compelled to fork out a whole pile of cash on a pair of Sennheiser HD 595 headphones to finally put an end to this madness. Just don’t tell the wife they cost £130….

Detailed sound, great mids and treble, comfortable

Leaks like a sieve, Bass was a little lacking

Offering a solid alternative to the Audio Technica A900s, the HD595s present a warm, slightly dark sound that will please many listeners.

Sennheiser HD 595 Headphones

By Jammer (onheadphones.com)

Award: Staff Recommended

Professional headphones to enhance your music

This headphone provides great sound quality with booming bass. It is also extremely comfortable to wear

Some mp3 players may find it too hard to pump any volume into these headphones. The closed-back style of the headphones leaks the sound to the outside

Headphones designed primarily to be used to listen to movie audio with, the Sennheiser HD 555s are a great addition to the collection of any ardent movie fan who wants to watch movies in private while getting the best sound possible. The open-backed...

Incredible sound. Works great with stereo, Nokia Nuron, etc ; Reminds me of Klipsch high end speakers Wires. Spoils you for anything else. I'm current

Fantastic

All of the best circumaural headphones are open, so you can't really knock the HD595 too much in that regard. I really wish Sennheiser sold the velour
