Sennheiser hd598 for budget ; has detail and clarity and smooth sounding; like all sennheiser and beyerdynamic headphones they are accurate not brassy

Not currently,don't know if other models will become available though.

Your better off without it. I wanted one of RS series headphones for so long that I finally got one a week ago but was let down. The sound quality is amazing, was very impressed but it is very uncomfortable to wear for longer than 10 minutes or so. The reason being is that there is a gap in the middle of the headband where the wireless charging chip sits, there is padding on each side of the headband but they dont help as the wireless chip digs down into the head and sometimes even catches your hair. I found this was cause it was a tight fit. Maybe I've got a big head? lol dunno but this is what I experienced. I also read some reviews that mentioned it too even though most of the reviews are positive on it.

First time I have been let down by sennheiser but I havent given up, I instead have ordered up the HD 558 wired ones. Hopefully these are better.

Now available :smiley:

Yeah that 558 price is superb value,but like I said some of the deal prices are better than others,the 558 price is probably the worst of the deals,the others are all pretty good tbh

Well the only open back models included are the HD 5xx series,I think refurbished could be ex demo or something with new pads fitted,but not sure.
There are so many quality open backed headphones around,I would try out a few more before deciding on a pair for yourself.

Yes, open backed headphones truly are a game-changer. The 598's are the only other headphones on the list that would be open-backed and better than the 558's. But it's not a major difference at all, so probably not worth the money. If I were you, I'd try and find a store to that demonstrates high end headphones and test out different brands to see what they offer. Grado's, for instance, offer a fairly different tonal characteristic. Other than that, the only real step up from what you have would be something along the lines of the 650's, which gets into the quite pricey territory of things.

Was in stock,obviously not many of them in the deal :disappointed: will amend post)
