Just grabbed a pair of HD598s from Amazon, lightly used from a seller with about 92% positive feedback. Came with no box, and they seem bassier than I was expecting...does anyone know anything about fake HD598s?- Gilly87

In the market for a pair of headphones, but no place to demo any. So how do I go about this?
As far as I have seen there is no place in California (at least the Orange County area) to go and demo headphones. In fact, the brick and mortar shops don't carry them unless your looking for ear buds or Beats. I have heard about the upcoming CanJam,but right now it looks like I may not be able...- 414353

HD598 and AD900
Just a quick thread to see what people who have had both at the same time think. Which did you prefer? What were the main musical sonic differences? Which did you feel were better for gaming? Just looking for a nice cheaper headphone for multipurpose needs. Cheers.- matthewh133

HD598 v DT880
So I am debating between the HD598 and the DT880 (600ohm). I listen to a lot of pop-punk, punk, elctronica, indie, and some dubstep. Not looking for bass that shakes my face but I want to feel each bass kick and the full range of the drums. Thought? Thanks guys.- hth715

Is a Xonar DX strong enough to drive Sennheiser HD598's? Or should I look at the STX?
I'm both impressed and unimpressed with my Ear Force DSS. It is a fantastic driver, and it's implementation of Dolby Headphone works great. However, its lack of ability to adjust settings or switch to DH-1 really bothers me. For example, DH-2 causes horrible echo/reverb when using Skype. ...- rfvijn
