Hi, This is my first thread. I have been using hd 598 since 5 yrs. Browsing head-fi forums reviews, convinced me to purchase it, since then I absolutely love that piece for its comfort and soundstage/mids. I had been using dell laptop of 2014-15 (i7 5th gen ) which has Realtek dac. I had...

Is there any significantly sound difference between the A40 and the HD 598SR so it would be worth upgrading? I would mainly use them for gaming and Music.

Hi, first time posting here so forgive me if break any rules. Like the title said, I'm looking to upgrade from my Sennheiser HD598. I have been using these headphones for 3 years and now is the right time for me to invest in something in another price range. As I am only a light hobbyist, I...

I currently own the HD 598's and I have for a few years now, but I want something more expensive that's closed due to household background noise. Since I'm going closed I'm willing to pay the price for the 177X in hopes that the soundstage is even wider than the 598 or dt 770's. I've been mostly...

I just bought a yamaha CA-V2 amp for my speakers (tannoy pbm 6.5 II) and the seller just offered me to exchange it on a NAD 304 for free. Is it a good upgrade or downgrade? i just listen to music casually, music source on ipod classic 5.5 generation line out (bypassing the ipods AMP). And most...

Looking a for a max $600 amp/dac combo with preferably small footprint. SE, balance isn't necessary, budget can go up a little if needed. Trying to downsize my current setup. Headphones would include dt1990 hd800 (might sell) and honestly trying to downsize in general. Wouldn't mind going back...

Hi everyone, I'm a new poster to head-fi but have viewed the forum on many occasions for headphone advice. I'd like to get some recommendations for a pair of great sounding closed can headphones. I've been using my hd 598's for about 3 years now and I absolutely love them. But, I play a rhythm...

Hi all, many people, including myself, have rattling HD 598s during bass notes. Since these headphones are popular with many people who may not take stuff apart, or know how to take apart headphones, I figured I'd make a short guide! If you'd rather use my imgur album to follow, here is link...

Hi, I recently purchased a Sound BlasterX G1 for my Sennheiser HD 598. for my PC use. I have some confusion with its setup. In the advanced section of the Sound BlasterX software, what do I select from the "7.1" options? the options are 1. Headphones (Virtual 7.1 surround) 2. Virtual 7.1...

Hi everyone, I recently bought the Sennheiser HD 598 SR. For a year or so i used a pair of Audio Technica ATH-M50x primarily for music (they are pretty bass heavy and as they were my first pair of "serious" headphones they were good enough for the job). Anyway, later i started gaming with them...

Context: Having just been introduced to the world of audiophiles, I spent days doing research on pretty much everything I might need to know. Now I am by no means an audiophile; not yet anyway. But I do appreciate good sound, and I'd like to start experimenting with audiophile grade audio and...

Hi audiophiles, I need advice on my setup. I need a setup to play music, do streaming/recording and general internet stuff. These are the equipments I already have: 1) Rode NT1-A condenser microphone (with pop filter, shock mount and XLR cable) 2) Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 audio interface...

Hello, I am torn between HD 598 and HD 599. I used to own the HD 598 and enjoyed them quite a bit. After many headphones later, I feel HD 598's sound signature suits me the best. I also stumbled upon the HD 599 and learned that they are slightly bassier and have slightly altered sound...

Hi guys, I have a Sennheiser HD 598 for about 5-6 years now which I absolutely love, but since it has a lot of wear now and eventually it will just fall apart, I'm thinking about replacing it and I would like some headphones that are similar in overall sound signature but have a better bass...

Hi everyone, So I've been wanting to buy a pair of full-size over-ear headphones for a while, because right now I own the 1More Triple Driver IEM's, and though they're great, I've come to the conclusion I just don't like IEM's. I was looking at the Sennheiser HD 598 since right now they're on...

Hi, Have a E17 at the moment and thinking about upgrading, I'm thiking in getting a Magni 2 or Magni 2 Uber, don't know which one, also I'm open to more suggestions, maybe buying a DAC too. Will be used to power an HD 598, DT 880 and a Yamaha Pro 400 mainly

I owned the HD 598 for two years. Then I got the HD 650, and the imaging was spectacular. But because of not-so-wide soundstage, music always sounded messy to me. Also, I missed the treble of HD 598. I got rid of everything, and then got M50x. While it performs well, I never seem to enjoy music...
