Bose qc15

I probabily would've had to file for bankrupcy if i bought all these from Korea or Japan. In the end the high rates for japanese yen vs dollar saved me so much money. (rates not so high anymore though)

I would put LCD 2.2 above HE-500 if it wasn't for comfort issues.

Lol. I feel the pain in Korea. Damn headphones are so expensive. Korean made headphones are cheap though(though there aren't many "high end" hps from Korea).

ya, thats true. But i don't think i've ever bought headphones in korea though. Just looked from distance in disgust. I would buy only occassionally in japan when i buy audio technica.
 
but ordering phones to an american friend and picking it up during vacation = currency win (not so much anymore though)

Hi all,
 
As mentioned in another thread in the forum, I think I like better the 558 over the 598 because its sound is transmit more "emotion" to me. But the 598 are very nice headphones and I like them a lot for Jazz and movies.

1) Sennheiser 650HD

3) Sennheiser 598HD

signed... sad but true. The HD598 just has more treble, which is not always a good thing.
plus, with some easy mods, the HD558's FR is almost identical to the newer HD600 with a bit more harmonic mess. (still better than most cans on the market)
