?? Enter the HD 598s ??The 598s are celebrated as having some of the best "balance" of sound-stage and bass among audiophiles and gamers alike. The Vankyo set feels rock solid and sturdy as compared to the Cowin E7. I chose the silver/black which was a good pick because it gives a little more texture and pizazz. The price I paid for is hard to complain about. This pair didnt last six months, despite the same frequency and type of use. Ordered arrived quickly, very easy to install. Whenever I restart my computer and put my headset on, all of my sound sounds distorted like something from a horror movie. My daughter finds these really comfortable. Again, the bass and dynamics out of this is unreal. I wore Rainbow sandals for years until I bought my first pair of Reefs about 4 years ago.
