The 990 is a great recommendation.

I got a defective product. The left channel is a little louder than the right.
Gave it for replacement. It should be back in 2 weeks.
 
I really love the sound though.
sparkly highs, silky smooth mids, tight bass with a very spacious and airy soundstage.
I had an instant smile on my face when i heard them for the first time.

I was going to get the HD 558 before I read your awesome HD 598 review.
After reading it, I knew what I had to do.
Thank you very much for the awesome suggestion

Just wondering, where did you buy it from? 
 
Glad to see you are happy with them.

Not sure if its truely defective.  It's rare for me to find headphones without any sort of channel imbalance.  I just go into the settings on my music player and change the balance.  Most music players have this.

You are absolutely welcome
You have just heard them "tight." When those babies loosen, they'll start to shine. Seems like they stopped gaining audio quality after 4 months (stops gaining extra quality/fully loose.)
