100+ Head-Fier
Hi there Head-Fi frequenters,
I'm new to this organization and to the headphone world so I need a bit of advice on selecting my new headphones.
Currently, I own Sennheiser HD 215 (though I do not know if it was a good choice or not) and I read tons of good reviews on HD 598. I mostly listen symphonic, folk, power metal and classical music (yes!).
Of course when classical and metal figures unite in a music type like symphonic or folk or scandinavian metal, one wants to have both immense clarity and bass. In my poor opinion, I couldn't find much bass and clarity on my HD 215.
So:
1) I wonder if HD 598 will provide me these two aspects in a satisfactory way. (I have never tried an open headphone before so I hope it will have a crystal sound without the 'hshhhh' sound like little in-ear headphones)
2) Will it leak out too much noise?
3) Regarding the price and quality level of HD 598, what else do you recommend?
Thank You People!!!!
