I am going to be using them for gaming, are the 598s worth the extra money?? And Its not money I have and dont know whether or not to spend, its money I kinda dont have, so is it really really worth it?

there is a tiny difference, but not worth the money. If you wanna save yourself some of those cashes, the 518 is pretty much as good as the 558 and 598.

As an owner of the HD598, I find them to be a bit more comfortable. The color scheme is also fairly Noctua-esqe as you should probably be aware so if I like their aesthetics, that's another point to mention. They should be somewhat wider in soundstage and a tad more detailed, but the sonic differences aren't that massive.

Honestly, I found the 518 to be fairly uncomfortable out the box compared to 558 and 598 (598 being most the comfortable and 558 being just slightly less so).
