I'd recommend 558 or 518 instead, they sound virtually identical and use the same driver, and are much cheaper.

Hi guys I'm pretty new here to LTT and Building and purchasing parts of computers.

I'm in the market for some new headphones I've been looking at the Sennheiser HD 598 

from the information I have seen these are some good looking quality headphones can 

anyone vouch for there quality and use for gaming

Thanks  :D 

 

Edit I will also be looking to get a ModMic to go with It.
