After this maybe I will never buy any Fiio products.

Does anybody know of a pair of closed headphones that have a sound signature and soundstage that are similar to that of the 598s? I love them, but I live in a very noisy house. If it helps, I listen mostly to classical so the soundstage is very important and the headphones need to be analytical and articulate.
I'm not sure if this is too much to ask for in a closed can, aren't they known to be the opposite of all these things? Help would be very much appreciated.
Sorry but I consider the HD598 to have the best soundstage of any cans I've heard, and I've heard many cans near the $1000 range. And judging by the reviews, I think it's a safe conclusion. But lately I've heard the Philips Uptown Citiscape which surprisingly had a good sense of soundstage. Don't take my word for it though since I haven't been able to listen to it with my own music. Try it at your local Best Buy store. Their noise isolation is ABSOLUTELY fantastic due to their strange memory foam characteristic. For that reason alone, I would get them. They're perhaps a tad bit bright for classical but you can EQ it down the treble a bit. I think it's safe to say these have a better soundstage than the M50s, which I've listened to.
P.S. these are only $120 until August 31st on Amazon
God I feel like I'm advertising these but in all honesty, I liked these cans.
