Hd598 close back alternative

BirdyTheMighty

Wondering if any one can help not in any hurry but what would be a good side/upgrade to a hd 598 in a closeback head phone budget is 300aud. Something a tad more base i wont mind

 

Would be nice to pick one out of this site as its close to my cuz house

The HD598C. They're noticably different than the HD518's I have due to being closed back, but they still sound good. I only use them for when I'm traveling and want to isolate myself (and bought a carrying case for them which has come in handy)

If you like the dark mellow Sennheiser house sound then the Sony MDR 1A is a great match. It’s definitely more bassy. And you can find it on clearance sometimes at a good price. Or it may be hard to find because it’s discontinued. 

 

EDIT: Definitely give the Sony MDR 1A a listen at your local shop. The B&O headphones might interest you as well.
