hd 598

[BenD]

I bought a hd 598 and they sound pretty good i might say...

However, since these are a pretty descend pair, do they require an amp or something to really light up? Or does my motherboard provides all the power they need to sound perfectly?

I'm not complaining about how they sound, but if i can get a better sound experience with something extra i would like to know about it


also on the side note: if somebody does a noctua themed build, these baby's fit in perfectly

Onboard is all you need with them, I use them also and they are sexy

They should be absolutely fine through your motherboard, no need for an amp.

not power that matters really for those, just quality i guess, but thats money only worth spending if you can hear and actually care about the difference

Unless you are down to waste money on different colors, the HD598 is the same as a HD558, which is pretty damn close to a HD518.

well... the specifications say something else then that....

& yeah maybe you pay a bit more for mainly looks, but at least they are all quality products & way better then beats for less then the money so don't be hating!

Are they exactly the same? No.

 

Could you tell the difference by ear? Probably not.

 

 

Have read about differences in the way they fit, however.

You don't need a amp, motherboard should be fine.

Headphone specifications generally have fuck all to do with how they actually sound.

 

But hey, drink the marketing kool-aid if you want.

But measurements at a given frequency don't really matter.

You got me, it's all about extension outside human hearing.

both the hd558 and hd598 are identical, housing, drivers, cable , all , except there s a piece of foam added on the hd558 that you can remove.

there might be some differences between the 2 sets after the mod but i wouldn t ever be able to notice it.
