So kind of a same question NewSound86 asked.    Would you guys recommend 598 for mainly video games and movies usage? Or should I pick 558?   Thanks

Quote:   Has the bass lowered once you removed the black rubber tape from 558?

Quote:   Yeah but removing the black foam will increase the mids right? But will it also lower the bass then?     I'm a little more aligned for 558 since their bass is a little stronger. Still don't know if the difference is that big, or should I just go for 598.

Quote:   More leakage than the 598 or the same? And by leakage it means that others can hear the sound as well? I don't really mind that as they are going to be for home use in my room anyway

Mad Lust Envy Did you by any chance test the Sennheiser HD 558 aswell? I've read that the 558 has a little stronger bass than 598, which why I'm being pulled more to 558, even tho the 598 look so much better overall.

Is the bass notably lower on 598 than the 558 model? I've heard that the 558 has a little more powerful bass, but not so good mids and highs. Can anyone confirm this? As I'm still undecided (been like 2 weeks of reading about these 2 headphones).    Thanks

Hello     As I'm still deciding on new headphones, I first need to figure out the whole "how much Ohm headphones can I get".   So can this sound card - the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer support 50-55 Ohms headphones perfectly? I cannot find this information anywhere.    ...
