I do like Sennheiser. But there's another reason aswell. The prices i have here. Sennheiser has outstanding prices. As low as on Amazon, sometimes even lower. On the contrary a pair of ATH-AD700 costs $250.

Another one with more reasonable prices is Grado, with $135 for SR80i.
Beyerdynamics and Ultrasone are also expensive just like Audio Technicas.
 
Before deciding on HD 598 i wanted to try something else. I looked at AD700 and AD900, DT770 PRO, HFI-580, ATH-M50 and all of them were more than HD 598 and more than my maximum budget. Having only the SR80i as an alternative, while curoius to own a Grado, i feared for the comfort too much and stayed with Sennheiser once again.
 
I started to experiment with the Panasonics, and i hope in the future to own some of the other good brands.

I'm guessing you modded these/ are using good amplification...? Because I don't see how these headphones are so incredible lol...
