Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.

These HD 58X Jubilee are a mix of DNA from the original HD 580 Jubilee (which were a limited run until we released the HD 600 with the same sound signature), the HD 650, and the treble extension of the HD 660 S. So, they are not a direct rebrand of an existing model, but a new member of the family. When these are delivered early 2018, it will be the 25 anniversary since the launch of the HD 580 Jubilee, which set the stage for Axel Grell’s contributions and the HD 6 series line!
Historically, the limited edition HD 580 Jubilee was so well liked that we brought the same sound signature into continuous production as the HD 600. When the new headphones ship early 2018, it will be the 25th anniversary of the headphone that started the HD 6 series!
Sonically, the HD 58X Jubilee will mix some of the “DNA“ characteristics of the HD 600, 650, and 660 S, but in a new affordable easier to drive package that provides a great entry into the series above the HD 598. It is also physically larger than the HD 598, so the HD 58X Jubilee will serve more as a “transportable” open headphone rather than an “on the go” portable headphone, so in some use cases (the office? Hotel?) you may prefer to bring your HD 598. Although it will arrive in 2018, the HD 58X Jubilee will also make a great “Gift” Headphone to start someone on high quality audio.
It sounds like i have to grab myself a pair, especially considering how great the price is. Is the fit the same as the hd600/650?
