I own the 595 (nearly identical to the 598, save the removable cable) and the d2000. For sound quality in electronica (my primary genre), I would say the 2000's win hands down. The Senns excel at crisp airy sounds, which you don't find much of in this music. The 595's are a little light on bass as well. The d2000 on the other hand put out absolutely amazing sound for electronica, better than almost everything else I've heard.
I think you may be disapointed with the high end feel of either product though. The Senns are very flexible, and while they seem to hold up pretty well, they just don't have that "solid" feel you would expect. The Denons feel very flimsy, and are largely considered to be a "stay at home" can. I would never wear these things outside, nor in any setting where I needed to move my head regularly.
Based on what you've said here, I think you may want to give the Phiaton MS400 a look. They may be more in line with what you are looking for. If you can scrape together a bit more cash, the Ultrasone pro line is probably perfect for you, but you're looking at a 300+ market at that point.
