Hi guys,
Long time lurker, first time poster. I used to own a pair of HD555s many moons ago and I felt they were the best set of headphones I had ever owned, unfortunately they were stolen and I was relegated to a pair of abysmal gaming headphones for listening to music.
I want to buy myself a pair of HD598s but I have been hearing bad things about their level of robustness. I will most likely be getting a desktop amp or a cambridge audio amp to drive them at home but I was wanting to use them on a day to day basis on my way to work as well.
So my main questions to people who use the HD598s on a day to day basis, how have they held up in terms of wear and tear? and do any of you use them on standard portable devices and how do they sound?
Sorry if this has been asked before but I looked in the 600 page long headphone post but I lost the will to live trying to find information about it.
Thanks in advance.
