(copy and pasted from my review on reddit) With the HD 58x being around the same $160-170 price bracket, there isn't a lot of love for the 599, which is kind of sad to me seeing how successful the 598 was. So I pulled the trigger on one of these bad boys and saw for myself how it stacks up in 2019. Package: nothing fancy, one long, one short cable and an adapter. Hooking it up with my Dragonfly red using the long cable was super awkward as the DAC/adapter/jack combo made up for about 15cm of length that's hard to fit anywhere. This is just me...
