I will post my review by Thursday or Friday the latest. So far, I am SUPER impressed by the CS! See my review for all the details, shortly. 

Any initial impressions on the build?

The build on the 598 Cs is FANTASTIC!

I think you'll really enjoy my review.

I just completed my final listening comparison session vs. my Bang & Olufsen 2nd Gen H6. Spoiler: The Cs won, AND it's $100 cheaper too! lol

Thanks!

Hi guys,

The HD 598 CS has been released on Amazon.in.

And I'm probably the first person to listen to them.

These are probably the same as HD 569 as per specs.

Ask me anything!

Hi Aakshey, 
 
I own the HD 598 Cs now. At this point, do we have ANY way of knowing whether or not they sound exactly the same as the HD 569 yet?? I checked and yes, they both DO have the exact same specs, but those specs don't measure or list other significant factors which affect sound quality like bass, mids, treble, soundstage, etc. 
 
Please let me know. This reviewer appears to agree with your assessment too. 
 
Thanks!!

I have HD6xx ..Is it worth buying HD 598 Cs or not

 

[Liveartonline]

I would say no. It makes no sense to step down to a HD5xx model if you already have an HD600 or 650.

  I have HD6xx ..Is it worth buying HD 598 Cs or not

only if you need a closed headphone

I agree with Panda.

Received my HD 598 Cs today and they are terrific to my ears. I was surprised at the soundstage as these are closed headphones, it is impressive. They are very comfortable, I really like the pad material, it is a kind of suede like some of the vegan pads. The sound is great I listened to "Caecilie Norby, Lars Danielsson - Just The Two of Us", then "Marillion - Script For a Jester's Tear" and both albums sounded fantastic, straight out of the box with no burn in.

Hey Panda, 
 
That's awesome! I'm really happy to hear you liked them out of the box. I felt the same way with mine.

I'm glad you guys liked them. I'm still not convinced these are worth $150 though compared to the other options out there. How do they sound compared to the regular HD 598?

my wife has the HD598 SE and I have listened to that quite a bit. It is a nice headphone but I think the Cs has slightly better bass and treble. it also has the benefit of being closed. Oh and the pads......... perfect

This reviewer prefers them over the 598 open version, but as always YMWV:

So far I've only listened to the 598 Cs for a few hours, but I took a liking to them immediately. There's not much sub bass to speak of, and I found the mids a little lacking, but I think they're great for $100. Their sound may be too laid back for some though. 
 
Sennheiser is marketing them as a portable headphone, but for me they're a little bulky for that, also they don't fold up for storage. Isolation is about average for a closed headphone. I have a very large head and big ears, and I find them quite comfortable. The clamp might be a little strong for me though.
