Looking for open back headphones to replace my dead Sennheiser 598's

JorenBus

So unfortunately my 598's finally broke and I'm looking for a replacement. I really liked their sound signature so something similar is preferred.

I'm looking for:

- A detachable cable

- Cable at one side, so not on both sides like the Massdrop 6XX

- Max €300

 

Thanks!

You could always get another pair 598 if you liked it alot. 

Not a single shop has a 598 available in my country unfortunately.

I do have an amp at home which I use about 80% of the time.

the sound signature isn't really as neutral as the 598 but still plenty good meets your cable needs that I can think of is the akg 712. its a nice warm headphone. most heapdhones I can think of are dual sided detachable or non detachable.
