Note that I had no problem using the headphone mini plug on my Galaxy S7 phone - it just seemed like the mini on my amp was an older style that the headphones would not fit.

IF not for this god awful obsession you have with proprietary plugs.

(I have to get close to my computer if I want to use it, but this wouldn't be an issue for smartphone users.)this thing can be really loud when plugged into a half decent sound card, I have it plugged into my SupremeFX embedded motherboard sound

I broke the 1/8th inch plug at the end, and it was too much of a hassle to replace

They sound excellent plugged directly into my laptop or phone, and don't seem to be bottle-necked by my lack of an external

Stop it with your proprietary plugs

These HD598 C's use replaceable cables, which alleviates any concern I have in case I break my plug

Only down side is the bulky plug in to the cord (but that is replaceable).

The headband is made of padded leatherette and the ear cups of a very soft velour material (also replaceable!)l
