My Sennheiser HD598s arrived in the mail today, and I have to say that it's quite a piece of work. Unlike the K701s that required a good number of hours to break in, these sound top-notch right out of the box. I'd definitely respect that it can get better than this as it goes on as well.
They leak sound sure, but it's about the same as my K701s, which never caused a big problem. These also feel a lot more comfortable than the K701s, in my opinion. They sure as hell don't dig large grooves into my scalp if I wear them for like an hour. I also like how it has a detachable cable, so if what happened to my K701s occurs here, it's a simple matter of getting a new cable- an inexpensive fix.
While I'm already very satisfied with the well-rounded sounds, I believe I'll search for a decent headphone amp once my wallet bulks back up a bit. For now, these headphones sound fantastic enough on full volume.
