Sorry i cannot agree with what the guy above wrote. But then again. Its clear he did not perform the Mod. The 558 is pretty darned close to the 598 and there is more bass in the 558. The headphone needs adequate burn in and the mod performed on it to really shine.
Unless you were looking for insane amounts of bass i think the 558 is a very suitable headphone for someone who is looking to get their first decent set of cans. I also use mine for gaming all the time and they work great. If you go for the 598 you may run the risk of not appreciating the sound signature due to its slightly brighter presentation.
Not liking the sound signature can be said about any headphone. The mod voids the warranty so it shouldnt be said casually "oh just do the mod". One thing that's been overlooked, what genre of music will you be listening to OP?
