Cannot comment anymore since i returned them. Keeping my old sennheiser hd 380 pro. My next upgrade will be for the HD 700. Looking for a home open set of cans!

Hi, I would like to know if there is a way to connect an ipod classic 160gb 7th gen with a dragonfly Black v1.5 for an utilization on-the-go. If not for a desktop use. I find 30 pin to usb cable BUT the dragonfly and the cable have both male terminals. Do i need a female-female adapter?

You have almost 0 clamping force on the senn 598 cs. Like I just check the sky and I almost lose it everytime (no joke). And i don't have a small head. My head's shape isn't anormal too. For a mobile headphone I find the clamping force is really a weakness for the cans.

Sounded terrific on my NAD T751 too.. maybe these cans don't like NAD XD And the 598 cs really have a different sound depending on the source. You can notice more than others headphones i heard.

They sound better on bad sources, if you paire them with a good amp and good source files you will notice their flaws. On the opposite, on ipod they sound better than most highest price headphones..

First for the Sennheiser name in the pro list it was a bit of joke and the fact that Sennheiser is doing good whatever the model. If i say for exemple Beats all people will say its crap and if I say Sennheiser people will say man thats good. So yeah Sennheiser makes good sound quality and have a...

i heard some beats and i disliked the bass quality compare to sennheiser HD 380 pro. So i took the HD 380 and I had them for 2 years now, I recently wanted to upgrade to something better and since i wanted close design for portable use i chose the 598 CS. At first listen i didn't like them...

you were comparing open headphones (hd598 se) with closed headphones (beats) but the hd 598 CS is a close version. The spl of the beats pro is 115 dB but cannot find impedance. In fact u can barely knows specs of them (probably they are ashame to offer this «audio quality» for the 400$ price...

Totally better! you will enter a new world, true definition of audio quality. Beats headphones are just boomy cans with poorl clarity. This headphones will bring you good higs, mid and punchy bass. You will maybe need some days of adaptment. But there will be no turning back after that. You will...

If you want to listen to classical music go with HD 380 pro for portable use and HD 650 for home use with good amp. They are not good with classical music.. Bassier than HD 598 open, dunno about m50x.

My review of the senn HD 598 cs!   http://www.head-fi.org/t/825514/review-of-the-sennheiser-hd-598-cs-close-version

Intro   Hello Head-Fi members, today I will present you my personnal review of the pretty new Sennheiser HD598. I am still new to the audio world, but I already have listen to a good amount of stuff. My first headset was a Sennheiser HD 201 back in college. For a new guy I was pretty satisfied...

Hi Rosmadi, just wanted to know for sure the pads are made of what? I find those comfier than hd598 up to date. But they leak more than other closed headphone i have owned/tested. It's probably because the pressure on the head is really low and probably because of the material of the pad.  ...

Yeah probably in USA, in Canada HD 700 retail 1100$ and the best deal I saw was 450$ + shipping used condition. Just got the HD 598 CS (close design). It's boomy but not clearer and deeper than HD 380, reminds me of the 280 but more high. It's a colorfull headphone I would say. Normally Senn...

I said a closed headphone is ab better FIT for deeper bass but doesnt mean it has greatter or better bass. It's normal if you compare a 200$ headphone with a mighty hd700 at 700$ the hd 700 will be better.. even its open. But Hd380 pro > 400-He > 280 pro in term of clearer and deeper bass

I had.

For bass heavy headphone, a close design is a better fit, and HD 380 pro has greater and better bass.

Well they leak more than my sennheiser hd380 pro so far. I just got them today, I'll make my review this weekend after 30 h ish of listening. Tomorrow I'll make the test at school. But so far a pretty damm enjoyable headphones match with an ipod or another portable device, but on the other hand...

You have to make a few posts (How many maybe its the question and I can't find anything on the posting information). As I can see you only have 2 posts, probably not enough. They want to make sure you're not a spammer pi verifying your post,etc. to avoid spammer or scammer. Here's a maybe...

I own HD 380 pro and this is the best bang for bucks i met so far. You have a ton of bass but clear, precise and ohhh dam so fun to listen to. It as a close design and for me who listen between 60%-90% of the volume on my ipod the leak is not so huge. They are 150$ on amazon.com. 

Definitely an external Amp will make your music sounds better than using the onboard audio aka realtek audio. The main différence will probably comes from the better DAC in the external amp. Because normally motherboard has a poor dac for sound don't know about the r540S but even with the...

I'll definitely take a look a desktop amp so, and get a mobile amp like maybe the Apogee Groove for the portable use if i can use it for my ipod (get a 3.5mm adapter instead of the usb connection).

Just bought today my Sennheiser HD 598 CS, from amazon.ca at 136$. I was going to buy the HD 598 SE but I saw this deal so I cannot refuse. I'ill listen to them and make a good review this week. Maybe the final review will be on this weekend as school week is done!
