do you recommend the 558 or the 598? And can you explain why

I love the 558. Since you are asking, I assume you are new to hi-fidelity headphones. If so, I suggest you start there. Once you have experienced them, you can develop an appreciation that might direct you to the 598s later, or in another direction entirely. Until you find out what your preferences and biases are, I wouldn't spend the money, because the 558s I have handle every improvement in source I provide. I would spend money to upgrade to the best cables you can use. I would also spend money to purchase higher fidelity music. There is a lot of discussion about range when you buy better music. That is not the issue. It is how much noise turns into additional music as the quality of your music files improves. It's like arguing about pixel size or frame rate wrt your eye's capability to see. Higher quality pictures look better, even if you can't see the pixels or the flicker from the frame rate. Anyway, the HD 558 give very good performance.

yea the HD598's are better compared to the skull candy quality-wise. Check this link out http://versus.com/en/sennheiser-hd-598-vs-skullcandy-aviator

I've only tried the 598's, which I own, but based on my research I believe the 650's are a bit darker sounding. I believe the 598's and 600's are very similar. You said you loved your 555's. Those are the early 558's, which are very similar to the 598's. Why not buy the 558, and based on your opinion of the sound stock you can leave them as is or modify them to sound more like the 598. I'm not sure of the exact mod, but it's common so a simple google search will turn it up.

the bass is amazing. it's fast, tight, and has tremendous range. here are the other open headphones I've listened to, in comparison: beyerdynamic dt880 32ohm - much lighter bass impact. the 880 is nowhere near the range and impact of the he400. it doesn't go as low, isn't as detailed, and isn't as impactful. sennheiser hd598 - the sennheiser has even less bass than the dt880 so the same comparison applies, but the gap between it and the he400 is even bigger. sennheiser hd600/650 - i'll lump these two together, though i'll focus more on the 650 which in my opinion has superior bass to the 600. the 650 can somewhat compete with the he400 in terms of impact. it's less controlled and detailed, but still has some decent weight. the he400 still has more detail and clarity in the bass, and probably more impact as well but it's closer than the other headphones. the bass of the 650 is very slow, so it can get muddy/boomy at times. that really doesn't happen with the he400. the planar driver is so fast even double bass drums on speed metal tracks are tight and well defined. you can hear each individual hit on the drum. the 650 is too slow so you lose that fine detail. all in all the he400 is a real star in the bass department. if you're coming off closed headphones they still might seem light at first, but once you acclimate to them you'll start to realize just how good that bass is. and if you're coming off other open headphones, you're likely going to be blown away, assuming you haven't heard audeze or other high end headphones. don't expect ear melting bass impact, it's not there. it's linear, tight, powerful, and natural sounding. by far the best bass of any headphone I've owned. hope that helps.

You should really get both at this price , but I would get the 35 first because you can always corp the image, not to mention that the 35 has a neutral kind of feel to it.

The Bad reviews are for the 60 version... not the 120 version. You get the same 2 year warranty when you purchase it on Amazon... however you do not get the 90 day return period as you do with the manufacturer. The 120 is much better than the previous version. I purchased it 3 weeks ago and have had absolutely no problems.

I have the 18-135 and I love it. I've not used the 18-55 so I'm not sure about the quality being the same.

Hi Steve,the main difference is that HD380 is closed and HD 558 is an open headphone.close headphones have much better noise isolation than open, instead the open headphones are more comfortable and depending on the model they could have better sound.I have used both and in my opinion HD380 have much better bass sound and of course isolation than HD558, however HD558 are more confortable.also closed headphones are better for office/noisy enviroments.

The 580 has almost double the power, a larger cabinet for better bass and is more money. For $50.00 I'd go with the larger. I have the 575 (no longer made) same cabinet, more power and no digital outputs. Had it 4 years, everyday use and never a problem. I turn mine off when I turn the TV off. For most people it has plenty of bass and there are controls to turn it up or down. I did buy a 555 for my cousin and he's happy with it but hearing it I'd keep mine any day.

If your a person that enjoys deep soundi bass I would go with the J88i. They have a lot of bass and the terrible is nice and clear.But if your on a budget than the J55i will be good enough. If you have a little more to spend than treat yourself to a great pair of J88i's. You won't be disappointed either way. ;)Hope that helps.

Hmm,, I looked at both. I liked the 630 more. I was able to keep the price within $99 of the 530 when I got mine at Circuit City. It was just prior to them announcing they were shutting down. I think they were willing to deal on certain items. They matched the Amazon price in December and I was very happy with the deal. Although I always forget Amazon has the edge after taxes, but I got it the day I looked at it so to me it was worth the extra $. The 120HZ is a constant on the LN52A630. It's not to be confused with the Auto Motion Plus feature. The AMP is great for sports and documentary type programs or anything in a live format like news and such. For movies I'd turn it off. Both were nice sets, but for NOT much more $$ at the time I bought, I'd say the 630 was the better value.

I bought the 54018 and it's been a perfect fan. I can't see the difference between those two models, either. Also I saw that Hunter doesn't sell the 23688 any longer.

I am not sure. I can say that our experience with the 5950 has been great. We use it for printing our church bulletins. It is fast, good graphics and the toner lasts a long time.

I have the 60.6 and it is well worth the money. I have many Def Tech products and they have exception customer service. Buy with confidence as they will support your product and they have a very knowledgeable staff to answer your questions.

I've never tried the "Platronics 478", so I can't directly answer your question, but consider this- The basics of making audio speakers and microphones hasn't significantly changed in the last 50 years. The only thing that really changes is the marketing. Decide for yourself.

I have both the 380s and the 598s (one step up from the 558). Overall I give the edge to the 598 - a bit more comfortable and a bit better treble response. However, the 380s are no slouch at all. Many will find the 380s "closed" design which block out noise a better choice then the "open" 558 and 598. If you need to block out noise (or keep others from being bothered by what you're listening to) the 558 / 598 are not the right choice. I'd tend to say get the 558 / 598 for home use, but when out and about (office, library, commuting) the 380s are great.
