I just bought a pair of these from Amazon - all this talk of fakes is having me worried now so gonna have to check when I get home to feel completely at ease!!!
Anyway I really love these headphones, I wouldn't say they're bass light and that's coming from someone who's used DT990s for the past year or so, there's still plenty of bass. Soundstage is great, they feel very open. I was watching Transformers Age of Extinction and felt like I could hear every little detail like exactly where each bullet casing was falling on the ground.
Music is fantastic too - was listening to Dire Straits Calling Elvis, sounded great from my Fiio E07K
Is there any info on burn in with these cans? Can I expect them to change at all over the next couple of weeks?
Also I don't have a DAC at the moment, I have a Magni but need a new DAC, I was going to get the Modi 2 as this was previously recommended to me and when I had the modi/magni combo it sounded great with my DT990s, would it still be a good set up for the 598s?
I wouldn't be too worked about them being fake, although it is obviously a possibility. My computer had significant hissing and I purchased an odac/o2 combo. I haven't heard the modi bUT it seems to be very good and often compared with the 02. My deciding factor is I travel and the o2 was compact. Honestly I think the 598s sound just fine out of a phone so I imagine any neutral amp Dac should do great. As far as burn in you will adjust to the 598s presentation but I personally don't think the headphone changes. After a week or two of the 598 I would be curious to hear your impression of the dt990 if you still have them.
