I tried these on today, they are excellent. These are the headphones to get if source is going to a problem. I plugged it into my phone and it cleaned that shit up good. The midrange was fluid and excellent. No crackle.

I have a pair of sony mdr-ma 900s that I'm using to play the same tracks. Off my phone these are harsh. They are incredibly accurate, the music doesn't sound as good.

The 598s will sound amazing connected to an ipod, a phone, or a computer. There's some benefit connecting them to better sources.

I've lost 75 lbs. I use to be a lot bigger.

this. solid bass response. Almost makes the highs underwhelming depending on song choice but worth 40 dollars easily

I'm just kidding on the insults. That's rude for no reason. Really, congratulations on the weight loss. That's awesome. Keep it up.

Maybe its because I need to shave my face for work I don't know (I sandblast so I need to have a clean seal for a respirator.) Always thought I looked my age.

I've never heard the W5000s, but if you're going to spend $500+ on headphones, wouldn't it be a safer bet to purchase headphones that have a better reputation.

Their frequency response curve on headroom looks awful.

I just got these, and I've had Sennheiser, Beats (gift), and Kicker headphones.
These Sony's are by a fucking long shot the most comfortable headphones I've ever felt, and they sound fucking fantastic too with the 40mm driver.
I will never buy a different set of headphones from these.
