    I have an old ass pair of 598. Amazing general listening pair for videos/series/movies/gaming/etc…

    If you don’t already have an open back pair it’s a great step into that world. Really good soundstage for the price.

      560s are definitively better. They belong more to the 6 series than the 5 series.

      However for this price, these are a crazy deal.

      Similar IIRC, bit more refined. They are in the same family so any improvement will be refinements in my opinion.

      More bass. Noticeably more bass. Better for movies if you like that Michael Bay rumble. 560 S is better for everything else.

        More bass on the 599?! I used the 598SE for a long time, and, while I liked it a lot on the whole, I was always underwhelmed by the bass. If the 560S has worse bass…

    That that kinda price? Hell yeah. At most you can just sell it on the used market for how much you bought it for or trade it with someone.

    These are phenomenal for PC gaming. I have been using them for years.

    Especially great for fps/souls genres.

    Personally just bought another pair with the sales as a third backup.

    Listening to Wildflowers on them right now. Love them for the $ and at $84 that is amazing. I’m mainly a speaker guy but sometimes I can’t crank my system the way I like or sit in my “spot” so these headphones fill that void. FYI If you are a fan of Bass you will not like them and they will show any weak areas in your system…. DAC, streaming quality etc……
