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.
Compared to the audio technical ath700x?
Not %60 that’s a lie but they are my daily driversand I enjoy them a lot for my long gaming sessions
I own a lot of headphones that are way pricier but I still use my 599hd way more and they’re my dd. Best comfort of any headphone
i love them, I drive them daily to play my guitar, and game on them
Yes, they are amazing
How do these compare to the 560s?
560s are definitively better. They belong more to the 6 series than the 5 series.
However for this price, these are a crazy deal.
560 are a good step up. But nothing wrong with 599 I like mine.
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…
This one is 39 more but it’s missing the S
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.
Not if you are buying them only because they are 60 off they are only worth the sale price in my opinion
Imagine getting downvoted for a personal opinion.
These people here are tripping man.
Good deal. I have them in white and gave them to my wife for her setup.
super comfortable and sounds great. Cable is detachable. Purchase without fear.
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……
Tried them. Not a fan.
At that price, absolutely. I remember metal571 calling the 59X series the gateway drug to good audio.
I like mine
