I own Sennheiser 598's, and I really enjoy them. However, I've heard a lot of people complain about its supposed lack of bass impact. However, my 598s have fantastic bass. I have them running out of my Fiio E10, so does that have anything to do it? I feel like the bass impact is weaker without a headphone amp, so maybe those that complain about the lack of bass don't use one? I think it's startling that people complain about its bass, when I wouldn't even mind if its bass was toned down a bit too. I don't dislike bass though, so I highly doubt that I just have really low expectations of bass impact. Are my 598s faulty or do amps really make that much of a difference?

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.
