What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Sennheiser HD 598 Special Edition Over-Ear Headphones

The size adjustment has a good range, and it locks into place well even after three years of use, no slipping.
My large-headed friend tried them on and agreed that they were extremely comfortable, which is hard for him to find given the size of his noggin.
There is a wide range of adjustment on the headband size, so it should fit heads of all sizes.
The headphone is light weight, and the ear cups are very comfortable.
The weight is non-offensive. They are neither featherlite nor weighty.
The weight of the cord cracked the headphone jack on my laptop.

What customers say about "Features"

Sennheiser HD 598 Special Edition Over-Ear Headphones

They have a good range of frequency response .
Great frequency range, pure to the source material, wonderful openness!
These babies provide satisfaction across the entire frequency range... highs to lows and everywhere in between.
The model has lower impedance so it's great for using it without an headphone amplifier, for laptops, mp3 players, smartphones.
The have a higher 50 ohm impedance compared to the norm of 32 ohms so you might have trouble getting the volume you want out of certain devices.
