I own the srh440 and personally, i feel they do good in almost all genres. Everything from rock, to pop, to jazz, to country, hip hop, R&B, post disco, and everything in between (like pop rock, alternative rock, country pop, etc.) I don't know about the 550djs, but soundwise, the srh440s are...

The hd 598 are the best all around headphone out there. Kinda like jack of all trades, or maybemore like a queen.

Which would be a better DAC for the e09k, the e17 or the jds labs odac?

Don't scare this guy off man! You're definitely not going to need a multi-thousand amp for the q701. In terms of soundquality, the q701 and hd598 will beat the qc 3 anyday. Off course, the qc 3 will beat the other two in terms of isolation (duh). I would suggest something like the pro-ject...

Screw myself, I wasn't thinking two months ago. The beats are terrible headphones. They kill your ears after just one hour of listening. I have a pair of Shure srh440s (hence my profile pic), and they sound far better than the solo hd. Yes, they actually sound better, not just different. The...

I have been planning to buy the hd 598 for quite a while because of all the positive reviews, but just recently, i noticed the q701. I plan on buying a pro-ject headbox s and usb box s (or odac). I listen mostly to rock, pop, country, and jazz. I also have the majority of my library ripped from...

I took an interest in the sennheiser hd 598 and from the many reviews I read, they are great for rock, classical, jazz, acoustics, etc. Not any bass heavy stuff (though they should perform ok), but for rock, they should be great. I plan on getting a pair soon as well as a hifiman ef2a. if you...

Ohh, ok. I do have apple lossless files for a majority of my library, so a good quality DAC and amp should do me well right? I plan on getting a pair of hd 598 soon.

I was wondering, if I have a usb dac that is connected to an amp, does it not get matter if I have onboard audio? In other words, does the "garbage in, garbage out" theory not apply if I use USB?

BUY THEM!!!!! 40% off is an AMAZING deal! They will beat any celebrity headphone out there! Hope the helps!

I cant believe this, the aviators were the best headphones and you chose the worst. No offense or anything, but im guessing you're not an audiophile.

Uh, the guy in the video has the solos, not the solo hds. not the same product.

I own a pair, and yes, they definetly are not worth the $180 i spent. The sound is not as good as people say or as bad as people say. i used to be one of those "beats haters". now, not as much. The bad: not worth it at all, worth like $100 at most. The sound does get much better with burn in...
