    Just got my first pair of true headphones, and Im blown away with the sound quality. Ive owned Astro A40s and these are even better for gaming, plus music. I havent watched a movie with them yet, but Im sure theyll be great for that. Id recommend these cans over going with a headset, you can get a cheap mic if youre only using the mic for gaming and you save money and have much higher quality sound as opposed to a headset like Astros

    These are the headphones!! Sound Quality is absolutely phenomenal, and the headphones are light and very comfy on the ears. They arent idea for mixing, as you require isolation headphones, but I can sit for hours listening to music on these headphones. By far the best quality of sound I have heard for the price range. When these go on sale, they go ON SALE and they are well worth the money. Highly Recommended

    built pretty good. a bit heavy compared to my ad900x but then again most things are. head band is a downgrade when you look at its predecessor the 558 and the sound significantly lacks treble. the mids are clear and the bass is punchy which result in a very very narrow but precise sound stage. a decent all rounder but if you like treble dont think about buying

    These headphones are really amazing. I am not an audiophile but I was looking for a pair of high quality headphones to game with. I settled on these because I kept reading that openback was the way to go for gaming and I have to say I am really impressed. Ive been using them to listen to music from my phone and my PC (with no AMP/DAC) and Im truly shocked at how many new things I am hearing in songs Ive listened to millions of times....and these arent even high quality music files. Now I am really curious what difference some additional hardware will do.

    Good sound. They dont get too loud. The original cable breaks almoust instantly, so you need a stronger one. Ears tend to get hot after a short while, just like any other over ear headphones.

    Ottime cuffie da casa, veramente molto comode e con un ottima ed equilibrata risposta alle varie frequenze. I bassi non sono troppo enfatizzati, ma sono comunque ben presenti e dettagliati, esattamente quello che cercavo. La costruzione sembra solida ed ha il cavo sostituibile. La cuffia è di tipo aperto, con i relativi vantaggi sonori ma anche con un isolamento minore di quello offerto da una cuffia chiusa: quindi sentite i rumori che vi circondano e anche chi vi stà vicino sentità tranquillamente cosa ascoltate. Basta essere coscenti della caratteristica di questo tipo di cuffie prima dellacquisto, in modo da evitare poi recensioni negative dopo averle acquistate pensando di poterle utilizzare a letto senza disturbare la moglie.... La versione special edition acquistata è identica a quella normale, a parte il più anonimo colore nero e la presenza di un cavo aggiuntivo. Presa ad un ottimo prezzo grazie ad Amazon, che come sempre ha spedito tutto in modo impeccabile.

    Superrr confortable. I had 205 HD before these and my ears are so happy for the upgrade. In terms of quality, its a really good headset.

    Gifts for music loving 21 & 30 yr old sons . Both have had nothing but praise for these headphones ! First experience with open back design , sound is rich & full with a wide range of musical taste , everything from Sinatra , Hip Hop to Metal all sound great . Sitting in bed or doing yard work , same great sound. Fit comfortably & completely over whole ear , with both reporting they forget theyre even on. There is some noise that does leak from these to those close by , but were all music lovers around here , so no big deal & it does allow you to speak to the wearer as you approach them , avoiding anyone being startled . Highly Recommend

    I purchased these after I had been using my vmoda crossfade LPs for a couple of years, I wont do a full review since you can find other reviews that will touch on the all the points you want, but there are a few points Id like to touch on specifically. 1) Bass: Bass? Why would you buy these if all you want is bass? Well youd be right, if youre a basshead who primarily listens to rap music or other bass heavy genres, it might seem silly to buy these, but Id like to emphasize that because the soundstage is so much larger on these than other types of headphones, you can precisely hear CLEAN DEEP bass. No it is not loud, but it is there, and it is rewarding to listen to. In comparison to my crossfade LPs, these hit much much cleaner, and do not deliver muddy notes. 2) Comfort: Boy do these things breath, my crossfade LPs would cook your ears, but with these I only need to take them off to air out my ears once every hour or so, then I can put them back on after 20 or so seconds, all nice and cool again. They are also very spacious for your ears, that is unless your ears extend too far laterally, in which case your ear might rub up against the sound deflector. My ear touches the sound deflector ever so slightly, but it does not cause discomfort. In comparison to my crossfade LPs, these are a huge boost in comfort Also please note that there is a LOT OF SOUND LEAK. Anyone around you can jam out to whatever youre listening to. You should buy these if youre looking for a comfortable pair of reference headphones that produce nice, clean sound for home use.

The HD 598 Special Edition headphones are an open back, over ear, audiophile grade headphone that combines exceptional sound quality with extreme wearing comfort. This premium headphone features a padded leatherette headband and luxurious velour covered ear pads perfect for long listening sessions.
