Hello, 
 
I've been reading Head-Fi for quite some time now but only recently made an account. The majority of what I listen to is metal, but I love all music. I have Audio Technica ath-m50s, Sennheiser hd598s, Shure srh840s, Hifiman he-500s, and now Audeze lcd-2 rev2 (bought from the classifieds here). All of those purchases were made after many hours of reading Head-Fi

How would compare the 598 in terms of solid rich sound to the m50's???

Hi,
 
I was looking for the best place to seek informations and advices about sound devices, and it seems that I found it.
I listen to every types of music, with a little preference for electro.
I am the happy owner of a Beyerdynamic MMX300, And I fell in love with the Yamaha EPH-100 and a fiio X3  some years ago.
The EPH-100 really pleased me , but they failed me for the fifth time, so maybe it's time to move along...
 
And this is what pushed me to create an account.
 
I Hope we'll get along well

Welcome to head-fi, and I hope you find the information you need to become a happy audiophile with a drained wallet.

I think they both sound pretty rich, but they're different. I prefer the bass on the m50s (though it can be a bit boomy sometimes) and the mids on the 598s. The bass doesn't sound bad on the 598s, but I do wish there was just a liiiiiiittle bit more of it. I think the treble also sounds a bit smoother on the 598s. I actually stopped using the m50s when I got the 598s. Also, the 598s are open, and the m50s are closed. Sorry for the lack of audiophile terms. I'm new to actually describing what I hear instead of just listening

I do like the m50 i have heard them but not the 598 im curiouse about how they would do with metal,tightly produced metal not sloppy slipknot kind of crap but more clean and precise djent and others if the likes my v modas are very satisfying but i really wantbthe effect of an open back and for it to be portable and compatable with my iphone in terms of impedence

I think the 598s sound good without an amp. I tried them straight out of my laptop, phone, and iPod. Guitars sound great with them, but if you feel like you'd be unhappy if the m50s had any less bass then you might not like the 598s. As far as portability, I think they're very light and comfortable but still seem pretty durable as well. I wouldn't have any hesitations regarding carrying them around.

Hello all, I have been reading Head-Fi for quite a while now (almost a year) but have only just made this account. I recently bought the V-Moda M100s but returned them after 2 weeks since they broke, and now I'm considering something else, possibly the beyerdynamic DT770s. I hope we'll all get along, and happy listening!

Hello everyone.  I have been a long time lurker on the forum like many others.  I thought it's time for me to actually become more involved on head-fi.  While I was lurking in the dark, my wallet had already suffered greatly.  I have owned (past and present) a number of headphones along the way: Grado SR 60 & 325i, Koss PortaPro & KSC75, Shure E3C & SE215, Bose QC25, Sennheiser HD201, Momentum, HD650 & HD800 (in the mail), and Etymotics ER4PT.  I am slowly climbing the digital ladder as well.  I started with a regular Panasonic CD player and followed up with a Firestone DAC.  My interest in experimenting with hi-res files led to purchase an AK120II (in the mail).  Next on the list, I am hoping to improve my laptop setup in search of an flexible and dedicated music laptop that is as quiet as possible.  Since my X-Can V3 may not be a good match with the HD 800, I am hoping to discover both a desktop and portable solution for the HD800.  
 
I appreciate everyone's contribution to my journey thus far, and hope to see you all down the road!
