I've been really thinking about getting the HD 598's for listening to music, watching movies, and playing video games. My brother has an ATH-M50 and it sounds pretty awesome, but from what I was reading from other posts it seems like people are preferring the HD 598's. However it has come up that they can sound slower when listening to fast music and the bass isn't what it should be. Someone here posted the frequency vs. impedance chart and it has a big peak (about 275 dB) for 100 Hz, which I thought might explain the bass problem. Yet people say it doesn't need an amp? So I was wondering if the bass issue could be corrected with an e10 or something else portable? Also I'm just getting into the audiophile thing and I'm not even sure if that graph means what I think it does.
