The E.A.R. that provides better sound

The “secret” behind the immersive sound of the HD 598SR is a special Sennheiser invention called ’Ergonomic Acoustic Refinement' technology – or E.A.R. It stands for specially positioned transducers inside the ear cups that channel audio signals directly into your ears. Resulting in a more realistic, spatial or ‘in room’ listening experience.

All you’ll feel is the sound

Despite the strong and durable build of HD 598SR, you will hardly notice wearing it. Exceptionally light, equipped with a high-quality padded leatherette headband and luxuriously soft fabric ear pads, the breathable open-backed HD 598SR will virtually dissolve, leaving only your favorite music to surround you.

  • What headphones can connect directly into a optical audio output?

    The number of wireless headphones (regardless of manufacturer) that will connect directly to a optical audio output is actually quite limited. The Sennheiser RS 175, RS 185 and RS 195 Wireless Headphones have the ability to connect directly to a digital optical output that is outputting a PCM signal.

    The alternate way to connect to a digital output is to use a digital to analog decoder which will take the digital signal and change it into an analog signal. When using a digital to analog decoder any analog headphones have the ability to be connected to a digital output.

    NOTE: The Digital to Analog Decoder we recommend is the OREI DA 34 as it is a good quality component that not too expensive but does not compromise the audio quality.
