Ah I can do that, I've just put them on and I'm going to spend a few minutes listening here...   I would say that if you enjoy the sound signature of the HD598 and are looking for a portable alternative, understanding that you will be taking a slightly noticable step back in audio quality...

I've spent a few days with my $120(cad) Cyber Monday 2014 HD598 and I feel it's worth coming out of my typical lurk to say something about these cans. I can compare them to my fading memories of my D66SL, and also my AT ESW9a.. Disclaimer: This is my first attempt at expressing headphone...

I also noticed quite an improvement after even just a couple hours of taking out of the box. At first I was kinda underwhelmed and was second guessing my purchase, but the more I listened the more I knew I had made the right decision. And yes, they look much bigger in photos than they really...

Pleased to report that these headphones have been performing well, I'm very happy with them. I will admit though I thought that I could wear them all day when I first put them on, but after 2 hours or so my ears were quite sore. They just need to stretch out a bit, other than that great set of...

Long time lurker, just dropping off some photos for people like me who couldn't get enough of these beauties while waiting for delivery (these came from beach camera) Only other headphone I could compare this to would be my old MDR d66SL eggos, but to be honest, these are in a completely...

Sorry to bump but I'd certaintly try to swing by if it were in calgary!

I'll throw a vote in for some Sony Eggo's. Only downside is they *might* get a little toasty.

Nah no prob, Once I get enough posts I might offer to trade my Eggos to someone else in town for a week to get a feel for something new, who knows if there is anyone else in Calgary willing to trade for a week though.

Yeh I was thinking about it more today, Should have sent that $80... It was like 3 in the morning, my head wasn't straight

I was also looking at some MS1's because they don't "discriminate" against canadian buyers... Will both of these headphones improve with an amp? From what I have read the D66's don't change much so I never bothered, and would the SR60s/KSC75's play well with a PA2V2?

I played with it for a few seconds, Nothing in there can't be acquired with some tweaking with the EQ, but none the less it does allow you to change the sound pretty easily. I wasn't a huge fan, and it didn't sound much different from straight out of the jack. Not to mention the program itself...

I'll see if I can give it a try on my Macbook.

Another thing I forgot to add, I will be listening to everything from Ben Folds, Supertramp, Beatles, Sufjan Stevens, Interpol, LCD Soundsystem, Death From Above 1979, and so on. No real hard metal, and rather soft rock. Will it be worth it to purchase some KSC75's when I already have a...

Sony Eggo!
