Hello everyone ! First post ever on this forum, so I hope I don't cut any corner by starting off with this kind of thread ! I guess my setup is really basic compared to what is usually seen on this forum, I have a FiiO E10K paired with an open HD598 on my computer, and the Sony MDR-1AM2 which I...

I've been using Sennheiser HD598 for years (radio talkshows, rock, heavy metal, rap). And now I'm in process of turning them wireless with radsone ES100. They've been OK, but little more.. something.. wouldn't hurt. When I was searching for some cables, I was offered a pair of AKG-K702 (or K701...

I am using S:Flo2 line-out (dual wolfson wm8740 chips) with Sennheiser HD598 & IE80. This is my setup since last 5 years. The FLAC music is good, has mass, good soundstage, good instrument separation. Now I am thinking if I want a HUGE (not just 1 level jump) jump in SQ compared to my existing...

I'd like to get some advice on what I need to get the most of these headphones. I just ordered them used and I'd like to be ready by the time they arrive. I know this is a common thread and I did search this forum before posting and found quite a few "Do 598s need amps" questions. And I have...

Hello, I'm a complete noob who's been using hd598 as his first mid-fi for a while without any amp/dac. I've been doing fine with the hd598's, but I thought that I'd buy a new pair of headphones for a change of mood, I mostly use my headphone for games and general music, but I think I got to...

I know that the D3 comes with its own amp, but what about pairing it with the A30? I am satisfied with what I hear from my HD598 through the D3. I am thinking of getting the DT880 (600 ohm) next and wondered if it would work well with D3+A30. Any comment welcome. Feel free to point out my...

I've had my HD 598SE's for just about a year and find them very enjoyable to listen to. I mainly listen to classical music and think they rival what you would hear in a live performance. I know there are much higher end phones out there but I just can't imagine that they would increase my...

Hey there! So I have been looking into getting a new pair of headphones. I currently own the Sennheiser 598 SR. I love these headphones, but because they are open-backed, I only use them on my computer when I play my games. I have been wanting a headset that is closed and has a little bit more...

I was considering to buy a HD598 headphones, but after some research I found out that specific model has some issues with the headband which I would definitely rather to avoid such problems, so I searched some more and have found the HD598 SR which has a new headband design and doesn't have the...

Hi, looking at HD 650 to complement my HD 598 and would like to know how well both of them scale (amp and DAC-wise), got a E17, would the 650 do fine off then for the time being?

I bought hd 598 and then the m50x because i wanted more bass. Both are nice. My question is should i return both(while i still can) and buy one pair of headphones with the money that are better? If so what would you recommend for around $300. I will be using these for listening to music and...

So last month I bought the Schiit Magni2 and Modi2 stack, and while I do enjoy my Sennheiser HD598 open backs, I feel I could be powering ‘grander’ sounding headphones, perhaps in the 300ohms range. My HD598 do have a nice spirited sound, when paired to the Schiit stack, however I feel there...

Hello all, I am currently in the market for a new pair of headphones around $200. I've been researching for a while and have been having trouble deciding with all these different options for great headphones in this price bracket. I'm hoping to get an open-backed pair of headphones with a...

I have an HD 598 which I use with Fiio E17k, absolutely love the sound. However, most of the music I listen to is along the lines of Flume/Weeknd/Synth/Massive Attack etc. (electronic trippy pop). Ever since I bass boosted my 598's I love the way they sound, but I'm wondering if it's worth it...
