I notice a recent trend for sennheiser to use black colour for their latest models.
I can only guess the reason for being so after owning HD800 AND HD598
- grey paint peeling for HD800, revealing the black plastic material.
- beautiful HD598's yellow headband is easily dirty and hard(or impossible) to remove stain. You hardly notice them if they are in black.
also possible that by keeping them in standard black also lower their cost of production.
Well... this is a bit unusual. Unfamiliar people would think that the beige and brown would be the special edition, but it turns out it's the one with banal color scheme.
Nice to see a shorter cable though. All I really need is a 1.2m for my desktop. And for those who actually use 598s as portables... I've seen more than a few people do that.
About the cable i need a long cable and i got used to this beige and brown look, tbh if i would buy one 598 for the first time i would buy the beige (i think) just because i would thought that would be the special ed.
You know what. I once A/Bed the 598 against the Ultrasone Edition 5 Unlimited.
Guess what, 598 wins in every aspects: resolution, transparency, you name a term.
A company named ISI Poly industries makes a cleaner called simply "Leather and Vinyl cleaner" comes in a white spray can. It'll clean em! You can also try saddle soap.
+1 Yes, I actually use a similar product from ISI Poly that not only cleans but conditions and protects as well. It actually came with my leather couch.
depend where you place the headphone. I place my headphone on working desk, and soon discover that headband is marred with pen ink, caused accidentally .
