I guess that makes sense, mostly I just want to hear about comfort since most people say that the HD 558s sound great anyway.

The best place to look for reviews would be HeadFi they have reviews from individual users.

I can't find a good video review on the Sennheiser HD 558, all of the reviews are from low-ranking youtubers with not much experience. Linus hasn't done a review on his channel, so where can I find one?

All the parts are here, just need to get customized cords to connect the motherboard to the front panel.

Actually most headphones aren't reviewed by big youtubers because of opinion and how people hear things differently.

Thats why Linus doesnt do the ATH M50's 

and why MKBHD's vid has a ton of dislikes too

Very comfortable, but if you have a large head they may not be.

Change the title to "hows the HD558's" and you'll get some reviews from fellow LTT people

What about glasses with wide frames? I take after my dad's massive head but I'm only a teen, so I suppose that shouldn't be a problem.

Be careful of Headfi, it is a notorious playground for placebofiles (so if you're looking for sound info you need to have decent experience to sort out facts from BS). But if you're looking for info on comfort, Headfi's just fine and arguably a great resource.
