Well I've recently gotten the 599. And I have to listen to them with the oratory1990 eq. I love them, but I think the ksc75's are better. There's more clarity and less bass bleed into the mids than the 599.Bumping my earlier question: after all these years are they still the giant killers? There is so much china-fi. I find it hard to believe (but I think I do) that these $20 sound like or better than a good $200 pair of Sennheisers. Point is I have both HD598 and HD439 and lots of China earphones and earbuds. I really want to believe they're better than my HD598, even if all I want is more a forward like, voice centred sound (Senns are too laid back). I don't even 'need' more details, just better vocals. Also they're about $38 here without any mods. If an EQ'ed HD598 could sound the same I might as well skip - i ve used it for years and still didn't break
I'm no expert, so take that at you will. But I think the ksc75 is hard to beat at $20
