Wow , I love reading peoples commits. Hands down these are better imo then any of the previous 500 models. Take it from someone who actually owns them. These are a big upgrade to the 518, 558, and imo better then the 598. The only thing the 598 does a tad better is soundstage. And it is only slightly better. The 579 just does everything much better the bass is deep and tight with great texture. Not the one note bass even the 600 has, the mids sound nice and balanced , and the highs have a lot of sparkle still with the common senn roll off. But extends farther with a nice crispness the others in this range doesn't produce. I won't go into the 599 as I returned them, check the reviews on them. For $99 bucks it's a no brained These imo hang right there with the Dt 990, which is my favorite Can.

PortgirlHey I am currently looking at buying either the 579 or 599, I've done my research but am just very curious about why you personally did not like the 599 (is it based on what I've read that the bass apparently can over muddy the other tones?). Particularly because you said you like 990, because those were the first open backs I experienced (250 Ohm pro version). I had sent them back since (sadly I wasn't educated on proper amp and equalization back then when I had them x( )but it gave me the open bug so now I'm searching for a pair that didn't have the 990's penetrating sibilancy and more rounded overall sound. Heck, so far I've hated every other headphone I've tried so far so much that I'd take the 990s back in a heart beat just for its great sound stage. It spoiled me so much even while I disliked them!

PortgirlHow would you say the 579 and the 598 compare in the imaging side? Like which one has more precise and 3d imaging?

PortgirlI would still love to hear your take on HD 579 vs HD 599. Price is not an issue for me but from the reviews I've looked at so far, the HD 599 is being recommended for listeners of hip-hop and rock (exactly what I listen to) while the HD 579 is described as the more analytical of the pair. This should make getting the HD 599 a no-brainer. On the other hand, a lot of reviewers also say that the HD 599s added bass is boomy and hurts the clearness of the other frequencies. Plus perhaps the HD 599 is more fatiguing?

Shaqo_WynI have the HD 579 for a few days now. They're good enough soundwise for me when I can get the fit right (which I found VERY difficult), neutral with clear subbass rolloff, however the build quality with the cup hinges is just horrible. They get loose as they can be in just a few days, even faster than the hinges of the Creative Aurvana Live..

dakanaoSo not worth it then for a $100 bucks? Are you returning yours? The only alternative I'm willing to give a go right now are the AKG K712 PRO, which I can get for a good price rn.

Shaqo_WynFor $100, they're worth it. Soundwise, most definitely one the best, if not the best at that price. But mind you, I had the same cup hinge problem on the HD 650 as well, only to a lesser degree because of the better built.
I just can't seem to stand that type of design on my head it seems...

dakanaoi listened all the 5xx sennheiser headphones.
hd599 got more detail, more clearness. and a little more bass. accurate listening + bass hd579 is comfortable listening phone. it sounds very soft and rounded sound with little sennheiser veil. rounded sound, feelin' comfortable.
ok? hd599 got more detailed trebel. a little dry sound but accurate phone. plus it has more bass. a little more.
if you don't want the bass quantity bass amount, do EQ with 599. just lower the low-mid and uper-bass about 1~1.5db just a little. that's the best way to listen accurately.

heiser-sennI had both 599 and 579 for direct comparsion, HD579 are much better in sound quality. Highs are cleaner and sound is more neautral calm. HD599 play very close to ears, they try to put every sound into brain. I do not like them.
