So like the title says, I don't really like the 558s. They are alright but for the things I do with them they aren't outstanding tbh.
What I use them for (in order)
Youtube esque podcasts.
Movies
Gaming
I don't really listen to much music unless its a background track to something.
What I don't like about them (in order):
Voices sound muffled and murky. Also sound different in pitch to my other pair of headphones, alot deeper (unrealistically so) (old headset is a vengeance 1500)
Not much separation in audio. IE during shows the background music bleeds over the characters voices, its weird.
The bass is alright but I could use a bit more.
Also they don't fit me very well, they don't seal at the bottom, I don't know if my ears are just massive or what.
Things to note, I am using onboard audio, don't have a dac or amp or anything to drive high impedance headphones. I don't really want to spend a hundred bucks on one either.
My budget is around 150, I'd like it to be lower but since I intend on keeping these headphones for a couple years I can go a bit higher if its worth it.
