So I've been watching this drop with quite a bit of interest, but it sounds like my current setup of Scarlett 2i2 + ATH M70x + AKG Perception 170 and my desire to keep the noise down make the HD 598 Cs a better choice. Is there anything I'm missing here?
pydsignerAimed at a different audience. There are a lot of differences. That's asking for an apples to oranges comparison. Your 598 Cs are also portable. Nothing about this headset is to be used in public or taken around a bunch. It specifically is tailored towards people how don't have the time/space/money for an interface/XLR mic/nicer headphones. It's a great inexpensive all-in-one solution.
