I have heard people describe the Sennheiser 598 as relatively bright. I currently own the Sennheiser 280 HD Pros and just received the 598s. I felt like brighter headphones will allow the vocals to pop a little more and the treble to come out a little more as well, if that makes sense. However, I feel like with certain songs, the vocals pop more with the 280 HD Pros. That's not to say they sound better because they don't, but I thought there would be more vocal projection with the 598. Am I interpreting brightness wrong or is there something wrong with my 598s?

I'll keep this very short. They are very smooth sounding. Treble toned down so not so good for rock but have a magic about them that makes them better than mark 2. I use them with a '89/'90... -
Bought these on whim, for your basic train ride to work I don't mind. But its far from being the best I have own.
