Heads-up for any UK members on here; the Sennheiser HD599 SE is currently at £89 on Amazon.
I have tried both.The 58x is better,but I wouldnt say the difference is really that noticeable.For 99 euros the 599 is a no brainer.
You wanted to say 58x jubilee is not better than HD598 ?The 598 is Not better by any means! I returned these muted can after a day of struggle. The 598 was nearly perfect, but i Wanted a more solid bass, with a better consistency. Now at 100... I just bought the 4.40... my wife kill me...
yes, excuse me. I was so disappointed... a month of waiting and 200 euro.The cream/ivory is also nice, but not on discount so I grabbed black one
update: beige is also on discount now

Thanx for the great n true review...i baught hd599 for $120 in primeday offer (july2019) here in india n now i am literally addicted to them..!150€ is a good price, I would go for them if I were you. The 599 definitely has a deeper and more engaging bass than the 598CS, which was pretty surprising to me. I had the same reaction as you when I got the original 598, very flat and unengaging (even though I wouldn't say they are "flat" if the bass is flat out non-existent, I would say the 598 had a reverse v shape with weak bass and veiled highs).
Here in Italy I paid 185€ for the 599, but the 600 still costs over 300€, on top of that for the 600 you would need an amp due to the high impedance, while the 599 sounds just fine even out of a phone at 50% volume. I'm pretty sure the 599 is a better deal than the 600 especially if you listen from portable devices often because not only it costs much less but it doesn't require an amp at all.
