Hello everyone, I recently have purchased HD600s which are amazing for music but I am really not satisfied with its gaming performance, which I think its quite normal since they are not a gaming headphones and should not be used as one, so I decided to buy a 598 for gaming because of the really good reputation and my friend has them they are absolutely amazing for gaming! I tried Crysis 3 with 598, the sounds were really realistic! but there is a problem ...well I can't find 598 in here where I live they only have 599 and the sells person have told me they are all the same they differ only in looks, so I e-mailed Sennheiser asking them, which I am surprised how responsive and helpful the support of Sennheiser is! so there is what they have told me:
"The HD 598 and HD 599 are extremely close in sound performance, with a slightly tweaked driver. Indeed the specs are the same – it’s mostly a facelift with different colour scheme and materials used.
In fact we have a pair of HD 599 demo unit in our office which, in my opinion, sounds slightly better than the HD 598. I can say that the sound signature of the HD 599 is the same, if not better, than the HD 598. Do keep in mind that due to burn-in and HD 598 will initially sound different than brand new HD 599. But if both are brand new, then they will sound very similar."
So I wanted to know as a user whats is opinion of you guys on this matter, many thanks is advance.
