I've tried on the 598s and think they are also quite comfortable. I guess it comes down to the individual (and their head shape). It's a good idea to test out comfort and preliminary sound signatures at a local headphone sales place, which usually have models out for people to test. Must have...

Went to watch the Cricket today - watched the Aussies dominate, got home by 2pm and went for a swim!   India are truly being served this series...

Now those look comfy! 

I think the source is very important and makes a huge difference to sound on my HD650s. Running straight off my mac to amp sound very average tbh. Also check out the Matrix M-stage for SS amp for around $250. That would leave you with around $200 for a DAC - a second hand Cambridge Audio...

There is also plenty of good feedback of the M-stage as a great SS amp for under $250 new. Plus there is quite a bit of dicussion regarding mods that can be made to it. Have a look through here http://www.head-fi.org/t/475618/matrix-m-stage-amp-review-simple-cheap-and-excellent for 140 pages of...

Hi everyone, I'm still new to the audiophile sensation so go easy on me!   Please recommend me an Amp + DAC combo for my HD650s (and possibly LCD-2s soon). I have listed prices as well so it not only about sound, its also about value! The music I listen to is mainly: Electronic, dubstep...

Will these tubes with my LD MKIII?   http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/390344056932?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_781wt_1082   I'm new to this tube rolling business - these seem to be recommended by a lot of people right?

razerdogdeals.com is selling hd650s for $359 and using code "25bones" gets you $25 off. And they ship to Australia, which seems a good deal.   Anyone heard of these guys? are they a trustworthy seller?
