Pros: Spacious and airy soundstage, Treble and bass quantity, Somewhat warm and clear mids, god-like for movies, Made in Germany, bang for the buck.
Cons: Treble and bass quantity, Thin and recessed mids, V shaped sound.

Pros: neutral sound(no treble or bass boost), clear mids, smooth and laidback highs.
Cons: looks, a bit heavy.
These retail at 300$ .
I got them for 80$ here.
For the price i paid - they are extremely good.
The sound is clear and neutral.
The soundstage is good for a closed can, the bass is punchy and tight, the mids are extremely good with lots of details. although I find the treble to be a bit lacking for my taste. other than that - they sound amazing.
they can be easily driven with an ipod or a phone. they also have an inline mic.
if you get these under 100$, it's a steal.
even if you get it under 200$ - they are really good.

I'm thinking about buying those, but I can't find a place which sells those for less than 150 bucks.

Pros: Airy soundstage, sparkly yet smooth treble, slightly lush mids, mid bass, comfort, great looking, serious bang for the buck.
Cons: Mild upper mids coloration preventing them from sounding totally natural.

In my experience, the HD 598 aren't slow.
I have a pair of Grado's SR325is which is known for being very ''fast'', and i don't find it slow in comparison.
In Folk music, for example, you can hear all the instruments perfectly positioned, without any congestion (the same with Classical Music).
In Metal, it sounds basically the same compared with SR325is in speed (excluding frequency response variation, for example: more present mid-bass and sub-bass on SR325is that give you the 'feeling' of more speed in comparison with 598), but NEVER more 'fast' than 598, and that is coming from a very 'fast' pair of headphones for most people here.
IMO, the HD 598 are NOT slow. For me, it's just placebo or a random reason to despise them.

And yeah, if you haven't the HE-90 combo you are a loser here, basically. Some people are just so exaggerated in this 'hobby', and basically tell you a NOOB if you don't have the best setup out here, pff.
