Perfect Headphones, Just Like In...
One shall always fall short of words to describe how stunning are the new HD 598 headphones. From the build quality to the audio clarity, everything seems perfect. They're so comfortable to wear that no matter how much time passes by, there's still time.

Sennheiser HD 598 Over-ear Headphone

Sennheiser HD 598 Review
The superb-sounding Sennheiser HD 598 offers some of the best sense of space we've heard from $250 headphones.

The HD 598 is headphone home audio at its best, easily earning our Editors' Choice award. DesignThe circumaural (over-the-ear) headphones are intended for home use, which will make the brown-and-cream color scheme less of an issue if you find it unappealing. We like the retro styling, complete with velour earpads, but it's not for everyone. The included removable audio cable has two characteristics uncommon to most headphones available today: it terminates in a 1/4-inch connection (though a 3.5mm adapter i...
Pros:

New Senn 5xx-series flagship with distinctive style
I recently reviewed the Sennheiser HD595 and, with sufficent (4-5 days) burn in, I quite liked it. I was using it quite frequently in the office whenever closed headphones were not convenient (eg., when I needed to be able to hear my phone ringing).
Pros:
- Wide soundstage
- open/airy
- forward presentation
- single-end detachable cord
- comfort
Cons:
- Construction
- styling/color may be gaudy for some
- little isolation (if you need it
