![]() But, instead of buying 555's I intend to go with 595's because they include headphone holder and - maybe the same driver, but this driver definitely passed higher tests to qualify for high end 5** series model. Also, when people say 555's are very similar to 595's, I take that with a grain of salt. As it all depends on what equipment you're using them with and what you are listening. Fortunately I have a more or less trained ear and decent audiophile system nearby. I would like to see someone test the 555's drivers weather they can reach 595's frequencies. The main point of interest in HD 595's for me is the extreme wearing comfort. I have found people 'complaining' about various stuff (how the sound is neutral etc.) but no one ever said anything against their comfort. Almost everyone says you can forget that you have them on your head. Open design is a must for long periods of listening, but does leak a lot of sound out of the cans. This isn't a problem for me, on the contrary. The purpose I intend to use them for is also important. And this translates to mostly music playback and gaming - albeit only simulators and maybe occasional FPS like Arma 2 or America's Army 3.0. Thus their 'neutral' sounding is just what I need here. With the new model around the corner, their price range is just perfect for me for what they offer. If I wanted to spend money on HD 598's price range, I would go with series 6** models. Quote:
Even still, as you say - there is quite enough spatial separation. I was pleasantly surprised when Oleg said SoW will support binaural audio. ![]()
