Posted September 24, 2018 Hey, okay so im looking for a Closed Back Headphone for Music listening on Phone / PC, Movie watching and gaming ( however please only mention "Gaming Headphones if theyre actually worth it" ), my budget is up to 200/250 $ and ive done some digging and searching and came across the Sennheiser HD 598 CS and tbh i cant find a reputable review for it and im really interested in it because i like Sennheiser and particually the Design of the HD 598 and HD6xx so you could say the HD 598 is the base stats to compare with it in the design part as for the audio quality idk since i cant find any review for it, but here are some notes, i dont want the headphone to be ( Tinny, hollow, Veiled, Echo ) and please forgive me for not being able to provide a more accurate Description since i dont know much about Audiophile Terminology Wireless Headphones are accepted IF they also Run via cord without having to use the battery while using the cord ( this was the single reason i threw away a brand new 30$ wireless headphones ) and yeah it was misinformation on the sales guy from the local store i picked it up from, he said it could be used by wire without having to use its battery but boy was he wrong and was i frustrated oh and they sounded Awful enough that my samsung earphones that came with my phone back in 2015 absolutely destroyed it Edit : My Music Play list ( just a bit of my music library to help with the recommendations https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQBHr1kGmT0&list=PLEgVighVOpxbYcGyS-7Qy-pw14GjZ98dn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 24, 2018 598C is really bad. It's nothing like the open back HD598. In the $200-$250 closed range, I would recommend. B&O H6 Sennheiser HD25 Meze 99 Neo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 25, 2018 The Game One's are on sale on Amazon for $135. The Game Zero's are closed at $125. I don't know much about them though. All I know is the Game One is basically a 558 with more bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 25, 2018 Unless your going to buy a good DAC, spending alot of headphones is pointless. I personaly use a normal soundcard and PC speaker system for gaming, and a FiiO X3K DAP for music, can play of my computer via the DAP (in DAC mode). Using a pair of ATH-M50s, the difference between a PC soundcard, a mobile phone, a cheap mp3 stick player, and the DAP itself is night and day. If i didnt have the FiiO i would never consider spending more than say £25 on a pair of headphones, theres just no point.

Posted September 25, 2018 I was just about to say "thats just an amp though" ..untill i read through it and looked at some reviews real quick which showed it also has a DAC lol. From what i have read you need to look at headphone 30ohms or less, as the amp itself isnt that powerfull.
