I am looking at getting the he-300 or the hd598. I was wondering how do their sound signature compare and if one is better than the other. I listen to mainly classic rock, some edm, raggae and rock.

My budget is $200, so the 400 are out of my budget. I know the he-300 are $150 for black Friday and 598 are $190.

HE300 is a level above the HD598 just like the HD600 & 650. HE 300 has better fidelity, warmer sound signature and is more dynamic & open sounding. It's also harder to drive.
