Contacted sennheiser, the person who replied seems to not understand why i would want a HD558's headpad and keeps repeating that there are no velours headpads for the HD598....
Argh, that faux leather headpad is killing me. Can't find velours headpads from hd518/hd558 anywhe
My advice, go with the 598, they truly sing.
Guys a little help here.....
Right now i have a pair of over ear momentums, a pair of cal!'s and a pair of hd25 1 II's.....
I am still deciding what to do with the momentums because the seal drives me crazy (but the sound is so good....)....
Anyway.... as you guys can see i basically only have closed cans and i am now going for a pair of open ones for home use...
First of all i have no amps..... They will be directly driven from a 4th gen ipod touch and a first gen nexus 7.... for now at least....
Right now i have 2 good deals pending.....
A pair of mint conditioned hd598's for 120 euros and a pair of hd 595's also in very good condition for 60 euros.
Wich one would be the better deal?
Are the hd598's and the hd595's very different in terms of sound quality?
In terms of build quality they look the same besides the color.....
I listen to mostly to pop rock and edm..... i already now that the hd598's are a bit lean on the bass and will not perform edm very well but that is already covered by my hd25's.... This pair will be mostly to comfortably enjoy some indie and soft rock and pop.....
Hope you guys can point me in the right direction.....
Cheers....

The HD 598 is like an HD 558 that went to sonic finishing school--simply put, it's more refined. Most noticeable is that the HD 598's presentation is slightly more treble-tilted, and its bass more controlled. The HD 598's more polished sound signature is, to my ears, higher-end, and earns the difference in price between it and its mid-line sibling.
I also love the HD 598's entirely unique color scheme--no other headphone I'm aware of looks like it, with its cream-colored leather-like chassis, and dark brown faux burl wood trim and velour ear cushions.

The momentums are a darker, bassier sound which will more closely match the 595 verses the 598. The CAL and HD 25 are also bassy headphones and I think the 598 will not please you because of its lighter, airier sound quality with an open-sounding stage and thinner, less meaty body.
I think you should get the 595.
