Our take on the Sennheiser HD 598
The Sennheiser HD 598 is a wired over-ear headphone that the listing describes as closed type, with 23 ohm impedance. It suits monitoring when you mic separately. At a tracked $489 it sits at the top of a $449 to $489 range since October 1, 2026.
The listing gives a 115 dB sound pressure level, a 10 to 28,000 Hz response, and 334 g including cable. Two cables are named: 1.2 m with a 3.5 mm plug and 3 m with a 6.3 mm plug. There is no mic, so it pairs with a separate microphone. Retailer rating is 4.5 across 3,099 ratings.

- Low 23 ohm impedance is easy to drive
- 4.5 across 3,099 retailer ratings

Where it fits in a build
Monitor your audio. Closed-back headphones (no mic) are the pro pick if you mic separately; a headset adds a mic for comms or casual use. See every headphones / headset pick

We do not lab-test hardware. Ratings and review counts come from the retailer listing and are labelled as such; stream-quality figures are conservative planning budgets from our published model. Prices are tracked at build time, not live, and were last refreshed 2026-10-22. How the numbers are derived: methodology. How picks are chosen: editorial policy.
