I feel like I would prefer the darker sound of the hd600 and would enjoy the contrast from the brighter Beyers. I actually appreciate a darker SS as long as it doesn't muddy things up (which is why I will stay clear of the hd650).
Does the 598 compare favorably to the 600 in a way that would keep me from feeling I had completely downgraded from the Beyers? Does it have the genre bandwidth, detail, and dynamics to keep up with the 600? Also, does it completely outclass it in comfort? I expect it to be lighter, but how about other areas?
I just tried my HD-558s and DT-770 Pro on my head, switching a few times, technically the DT-770 are a little more comfortable over the HD-558s.
Not enough that it would make any differences to wearing one over the other.
The Beyer Premiums are said to be more comfortable then the Beyer Pros.
The HD-558s are lighter then the DT-770s.
My HD-558s are only 2 months old and the DT-770 Pro 250-Ohms are 8-9 months old.
So the DT-770s have had more time to break in
