Can be tizz or sibilance. Headphones with emphasized S sound regions in sound can have this. D7000 has it, 990 has it, X2 has it, and others may have it. Another term for it is 'hot'.

The 598 and many other Sennheiser headphones tend to subdue these areas, which is why you don't hear it. They're very good at de-emphasizing these areas, but for some, that makes them sound less detailed, or too soft.

You can't have everything.

Hi guys.
Trying to get on hi-fi audio but prices hurt too much.. XD
Need new headphones + dac/amp.
After research and some opinions i'm in the Middle of the bridge between DT 990 600ohms and AKG K712pro for competitive gaming.
Since the prices are too high i cant figure witch is the best choice.
In one hand the dt is good on treble for footsteps and on the other side the k712 pro is very good on soundstage and imaging.
Maybe i'm overthinking but i cant pick One. Should i go for the cheaper one?
Also i dont understand nothing about dac/amp but for thoose headphones i was looking to Fiio K5 pro, schitt hel and creative X3. Does any of these work good with dt 990 or k712?
If i go with the k5 i will need a modmic maybe wireless. For the schitt or the X3 i cant get the cheaper modmic.
Apreciate any Help and guidence.

Hey! So it seems the GSP 500 are now at around 160$. Would I still be better off getting the HD 599 + mic (would cost around 210$ total) / Sennheiser Game One (would cost 170$), or, would the GSP 500 be a better choice?
for gaming only gps probably little better then hd599,but 599 for all prupose is better

Yea, I would expect the HD599 is at least slightly better for music.
