Heads up for anyone wanting to try the hfi-15g, $50 BIN or $25 for a 6 day auction on ebay. It looks like it's for the older model so you'll get the long cord.
Nope, it's a Nikon.
With either, you'll lose a bit of tonal clarity, as they're both warmer and fuller sounding, taking a bit of attention away from the more dry, mid forwardness of the 598 in comparison. Due to the thicker sound, the 598 will also sound a little more spacious. However, all 3 are stellar performers, with the AKGs being more fun and immersive, while still being very detailed, just...warmer and more fleshed out.
As for the HD800, there is no way it'd get top marks in every regard. It's tonal balance has a lot in common with the K701 which while superbly detailed, does not make for the most immersive/fun headphones.
I've heard enough headphones to know that if its amazing at one thing, it's gonna be a little lacking elsewhere. No such thing as a perfect headphone for every situation. The closest you can get is a very good all rounder like the Alpha Dog, and even then, I missed the warmth and fullness of it's less expensive sibling.
Envy, thanks for your reply.
I really like the hd598, but, as usual, now is the time for an upgrade.
I want to spend more or less US$ 400,00 into the new headphone and the best options that I saw was the k702 anniversary and the k712 pro. There's another headphone that I should consider or they’re the best?
I'm "worried" if they’ll be a great upgrade or not so much, because I like the confort and fun of the 598, so if they're best in this two points, I just can't imagine.
Besides, I love the soundstage and the clarity of the hd 598, and I don't want to go with anything “worse” at these two points.
So, do you think that it's a good upgrade or I'll be spending money with no reason?
Lastly, I use the creative x-fi titanium hd to have a "5.1" sound.. Do you think that I should buy a dac as well? If yes, which one will you recommend me?? And can I use the dac + the soundcard without problem?
Just remembering, it’s only for gaming.
Thanks
Is it a stills camera? I have a canon 1dc with cine lense!
I took in trade a Nikon D7000, a Nikon 35mm f/1.8G lens, a Nikon MB-D11 battery grip and a few other accessories. It's not a full-frame like the EOS-1D C but it's a damned nice camera.
Now, if you wanted to trade your 1D C for a BNIB Beyer T1 I can make that happen.
