hmm from long term memory, I would say that the dt880 may have better bass but wont have mids as full as the senns. Overall i would keep the senns over the beyers for pure music listening

Anyone here have any idea if there are any manufacturer variations here? Has anyone heard of any different sounding 598s? I just thought to ask because apparently there are a bunch of different sounding hd650s out there. My hd600s were all the same though hmm.

Nope.  650's have gone through a bunch of revisions.  598, not so unless you include the revised headband material.

HD558/598 for hall of fame? For $150, couldn't think of any other open headphone than the HD558 I'd rather have.

Sony MDR MA900 Purrin for 140$ (current ebay price), I sold them few weeks ago and regret it so much. however HD650 should be financed somehow, I had no other way. First days I thought HD650 was better but I am not sure anymore.  :( at least Sony had more engaging sound.

MA900 has some slight less bass texture/definition than HD598/650.

I really like the MA900 personally, and it would be one of my picks for a full-sized under $200 if I weren't going to do any modding. Very comfy too. Unfortunately the build quality is pathetic.

I assume the the sound quality is nice and these are durable headphones because they are pretty expensive. I did like the weight of them though too

How do you like the hd598? Outclassed by the Sony's?
