If the 598 is anything to go by for the 599, the X2 is a better headphone, IMHO. More bass, and a more dynamic sound. The 599 would be more balanced, but not as impactful and dynamic. The X2 is absolutely one of my fave headphones. I liked the 598, but wasn't THRILLED with them. I think Sennheisers start getting truly good once you get to the 6XX and up. PX100-II aside. I loved those too, just not the comfort. I'd like to try the 58X and HD600 though.
Oh great. Well, I do like the design of the X2HR a whole lot better than the hd 599. And if they're better for gaming and sound better overall, I guess it's decided then.
Thanks!
