HD569 and HD598cs not the same!
Had the 569 for six months, really liked it but preferred the headband on my 579 so decided to get the 598cs which by all accounts is identical to 569 except cosmetics. Well the 598cs sounds like the 569 with a major drop in bass impact. The 569 has excellent bass going down to 20hz in my tests...- astroid

Got new cans , what to expect?
I managed to get a new set of Ultrasone Pro 750's for the princely sum of £79, i had the ULE 2200 and remember liking the sound a lot but i needed a closed set at the time so they went. Anyway the Pro 750 doesnt get much coverage on Headfi, is that because they suck?- astroid
