just bought one of these babies. i'm excited!
I've seen a lot of people complain about the cracking on the sides. Is this common with these headphones?

I don't get it, why do microsoft and Apple and Google (in android) refuse to add support for flac? its free and a lossless format :/
I use mac and im pretty much screwed , the only lossless format i can use is ALAC and i refuse to convert my files, i should be able to play them the way i download them
You should be!
They are simply mindblowing!
I am driving them with an E17/E09K combo and it is wonderful. Add +2 on the bass and they give just enough extra weight to the low end. The sound is the most spacious I have heard. Comfort is nearly perfect. What else is there to add.
Stay updated on Sennheiser at their sponsor profile on Head-Fi.

Their cool design, perhaps?
Congrats on your purchase! Glad you're liking them
Haha it seems the HD 598 have received pretty much general acclaim. Extremely rare for any company and specially for the price range (I mean, pretty much enyone loves the HD 800 with a good amp as well).

I miss my old HD598's sometimes. The soundstage really was out of this world! Been doing my best to get the largest possible soundstage out of my HD650s ever since!
Just since getting these, I have wondered if Sennheiser would not have a new model in the works. Use the design of the HD598 with upgraded drivers from the 600 series. Get the refinement of the 600 series with the soundstage of the 598s. I am satisfied beyond my normal belief with the 598s but that would tempt me to move quickly. I have listened to the 650s and love them. I would be willing to spend the money for proper amplification and source to get the most out of them. But I always came back to the 598s because they just gave me the closest performance in terms of my Energy Veritas monitors of my hifi system. By this I mean, sitting down in a dark room listening to vinyl and letting the soundstage and performance unfold in your minds eye.
