They are a nice set, they sound pretty neutral, not lots of bass but good detail for gaming and casual listening. I got mine on sale as well, makes a nice travel set very lightweight and comfortable.

Yes, they are amazing

i love them, I drive them daily to play my guitar, and game on them

That that kinda price? Hell yeah. At most you can just sell it on the used market for how much you bought it for or trade it with someone.

Not if you are buying them only because they are 60 off they are only worth the sale price in my opinion

How do these compare to the 560s?

These are phenomenal for PC gaming. I have been using them for years.

Especially great for fps/souls genres.

Personally just bought another pair with the sales as a third backup.

2HXR are currently about the same price.

My only complaint is that it’s quite uncomfortable because of how they’ve done the headband.

Really nice cans for the price. If you currently have lesser headphones and are looking to get in to the hobby, buy them. I bought these for a friend of mine last Christmas and he said they blew him away.

In second hand he’s just around 40 or 50 bucks and often in good condition. Just wash and good to go.

Also, with the difference of price, you can buy a TRRS jack to connect to your DAC for exemple (Shanling Up4 2022 that’s nice&cheap or the Fiio BTR5) in 2.5/4.4mm

Or you can buy the 560s in second hand for around or less than 100 bucks, and they’re even better.

At any rate, this one seems close to the 598 that I have, it is really nice! The bass and sub bass is not loud, but they have a really good definition. Like, a “line” of bass guitar, or, not sure of the English for that, a “slap” on a bass, and globally the “attack” on guitars is really nice on the 598/599SE.

They’re less well balanced than the HD 600/650 that I tried (or might have been the 660S 🤔), but you have a really better definition in bass and sub bass. (overall the 600 series is better, but for modern rock, punk, metal, pop-rock/poppunk and “indie rock”, 599 SE is better, IMO)

So, a little EQ (wavelet on Android) and it’s a formidable platform for a less than 100 bucks headphone. Movies and series with a nice source (dac, good soundcard, etc) are really good experiences, Dolby Atmos helps too, but isn’t necessary.

Didn’t have time to gaming since I own it, but no doubt it’s a really nice headphone. However, because it’s totally open, you’ll need to have a quiet PC/console. (like, I don’t use them for a movie if I’m not alone in the house, and if people talks even in another room, I push the volume up) (also, the HD 600/650 have weird stuff/artifacts in spatialisation, 598/599SE/560S don’t, they’re fine for gaming)

So, I recommend it to you, but you could save some bucks with people solding their stuff after the black friday/Christmas and get it for cheaper, or a get 560s for the same price.

Nah get some thieaudio ghosts theyre 80 on linsoul and beat up the 5 series pretty good

Tried them. Not a fan.

I looooove them

These were the headphones that got me into the audio world. Not sure how much they go for these days, but the price seems reasonable. Ignore the discount as many companies are known to price hike before a sale and quote the originally hiked prices as the pre-sale price. Ask yourself if yourself firstly if you even want a new pair of headphones, if so, then are you sure these are the ones you want? If you never had eyes on these in the first place then it’s likely just fomo.
