Sennheiser's excellent HD 599 SE open-back headphones are down to £70
Sennheiser make some of the best headphones in the business, and a favourite I’ve used for nearly a decade is the HD 599 SE. These open-back headphones provide rich, neutral sound with a wide sound stage and a comfortable fit thanks to their velour ear cushions. They normally retail for north of £100, but today you can pick them up in Amazon’s Spring Sale for just £70.

The Sennheiser HD 599 SE – and their predecessors, the HD 598 and HD 599 – possess an almost legendary quality at this point, offering a genuinely great critical listening experience and a comfortable yet durable design, offering great value despite fierce competition from emerging audio brands at this price point.
The HD 599 SE are also a great gaming headphone, thanks to their detailed sound and wide sound stage, though they lack the built-in microphone that distinguishes a gaming . These are wired headphones with a (removable) 3.5mm cable, so they’re easily used with PCs and consoles alike.
