A friend of mine bought a pair of 579s and loves them though, so obviously your mileage may vary.

They work like magic when paired with 3D Audio sources

But whille the sound quality is the same, the headphones fit on my head a bit tighter than the 598, which is a shame because the HD 598 was one of the most comfortable pair of headphones I ever wore from the moment I started using them

You'll be blown away by another great pair from sennheiser

so I began my search for a good pair of headphones in the $150-$200 range

As you can see, this is a very good pair of headphones

I find this nice as every other pair of headphones I've owned drowned out any knocking at my door

Senhiser HD 599The interchange-able cables with different lengths worked perfect for home listening as well as on the go
