I wish people would stop assuming this without checking reviews first. The HD-555/595 sound nothing like the 598.
There are HUGE differences and i've heard them with my own ears. I've owned the modded 555 for nearly five years.
Just to remind people again..
598 is much brighter than the 555 or 595. It is not laid back or does it have the rolled off highs of the 555 or 595.
It also has a huge improvement of the soundstage. Soundstage of the 555 is rather bad for an open headphone.
The 598 also seems to have very slightly forward mids. Not like say the DJ100, ATH-AD2000 or K601.
I hate to say it but the HD-598 is actually a far better headphone than my old K601. Imaging on the K601 might be a bit better, but it seemed less detailed.
This is actually pretty impressive. It even sounds fine without an amp.
Quote:The 558 and 598 are just visual refreshes of the 555 and 595 I dont think there is any sonic differences.

So how does it sound? Removing the black tape material gives the HD558 the boost in midrange that it didn’t have before. It’s almost similar to the HD598, except that the HD558 now has just a tad more midrange than the HD598. Just a tad more, and it’s probably better in my opinion. The two headphones now sound like they are the same model but offered in different color schemes!
