  I just checked Adorama and they don't have any sales on the 600 or 650, however...amazon does. The page on adorama has been removed when you click on the headphones so it was probably a mistake.

Oh, wow I didn't know Amazon lowered their prices. Great find! The Adorama sale is still going on, but you have to find the product through their special link.

  I'm really trying to like these 598's but they are too bright for my liking.
 
I feel like returning them and taking the plunge on either the 600's or 650's instead. Which ones should I go for?

This shows how subjective headphones are.  Just now I put on the 598 after listening to my Sony-MDR V6's for most of the day and I had one of those "ahhhhhh" moments. The sound is open, airy, smooth, and relaxing.

I'm for sure cashing out now on the 650's. $290 is a steal.
Now is my FiiO E17 going to be enough to power those suckers up?

Thank you guys for all your help!

According to this site the E17 should be enough:

I agree, $290 is a steal!

I think the value the HD 598s provide is unreal especially now considering that the price has dropped a bit!
 
By far my favorite headphones on the go!

Hey guys, recently manage to get a brand new hd598. I really dislike the long cable, any good replacement cables around?

Amazon.fr deal is coming around again in 7 1/2 hours.  Should be 74,90€ or 99,90€, depending how generous Amazon are feeling today..

I just bought a pair from amazon.ca at the very same price yesterday morning (jan 31st): 149$ CAD. Later on in the day the price was raised to 225$ CAD. The pair is coming directly from Amazon.ca (not a third party seller)

I saw in your reviews that 598 is an headphone that tends much to mark the tracks audio's imprecisions, for example listening audio MP3 128kbs will sound crap / awful
its true ?

For the most part yes. 320 is decent depending on how well it was done. But ya, I had some stuff that was 128 and never really thought about it until I heard it through the headphones and replaced everything I had in MP3 to FLAC. Electronic music I didn't change because it doesn't really benefit IMO.
