In Europe they are around $233 USD and are available for order, so it shouldn't take long before they have been shipped to USA.
Cannot wait to hear some reviews!

Yeah considering buying one not to use in my main rig at home per se, but for on the train/out-and-about. As soon as I can order one that ships to AUS I will

VS.
I decided to take some time and compare both just to see what the marginal trivial is and to be honest the only difference I found was the 598 has a different housing, "Premium beige and high-gloss burl wood parts for a sophisticated finish" as stated by Sennheiser...everything else seems to be the same! It doesn't even come with a headphone holder. I mean, I find it stylish, while others don't...it would look nice for collection purposes but other than that I find it useless if one already owns the HD-595. However, what was the real reason behind Sennheiser announcing the HD-598 if it isn't different in sound quality? I can't seem to figure that one out. Will it perhaps replace the HD-595 in fashion? So, let's say if one needs to replace their old HD-595 for technical tribulations, will they receive the HD-598 as an alternative? That's a big leeway.
I find this exceedingly outlandish!
They are the same, driver wise, but the 598 also has a removable cable. And it looks pretty sexy too. If only there was a headphone amp to match it.
