Just wondering if the amperior is better with sound quality/practicality than the hd 598's.

Wow I know everyone's hearing is different I have not yet heard the Amperior but got to listen to HD-25-ii's last week and feel that they are not that harsh or sloppy on bass as you say. The dt1350's are good but I can recognize they are artificial in the mids which may on the surface make them sound edgier and lively in comparison. Then again based on what I've heard the dt1350's sound can vary wildly from pair to pair.

I owned the DT1350s and Amperiors. Liked both, but the DT1350s lost out. The instrument timbres just sounded much more natural on the Amperiors and the DT1350s don't have the sparkle in the highs that the Amperiors do. The DT1350s can fool you with its perceived accurate sound, but careful listening points out that something is missing in the upper midrange - lower treble region.
I want to hear the PSBs. Do they have them in stores, or do you have to buy them to listen?

The 598s are certainly cheaper. Portability is something best left to dreams when it comes to the 598s. The long cable, open back design, and larger sizer don't make for good walking around cans. The Amperior is far more practical in this case. Not quite as good a sound though. Might overtake the 598 in bass, but the sound stage and overall quality I find to be better in the 598.
If you like the HD25/Amperior, you will love the PSB M4U1 or M4U2. They have a similar signature and do EVERYTHING better- clarity, detail, bass, volume, etc.
Most high end audio stores that sell PSB speakers are likely to carry the M4U2 so I would suggest looking for an authorized PSB dealer in your area.
