Awesome Headphones for the price just the shipping to Germany was very slow i had to wait 22 days until they arrived and I had to pay 32€ in import duties but over all a great pair.
I've had these for about a year now and they are still kicking butt. These have been my number one favorite headphones ever. Sound quality is phenomenal and comfort is out of the world.
A hot topic in the community often debates about the 6XX vs 58X. I went with the 58X with the expectation of a slight bass advantage over the 6XX. Never regretted my choice. Whenever I need a decent balance in music which I can still rock in, the 58X is my choice. Apart from the separation and the comfort, the 58X delivers amazing sound quality that is comparable to cans that are twice its price tag. About the comfort, I do find the default pads to be rather prickly on my face. And unfortunately changing the pads will affect the sound signature. The plastic construction also is something that i have to nitpick about, but then again this is a 'sennheiser thing', its the kind of flimsy plastic that you know it will last for years but yet doesn't feel 'solid'.
An excellent sounding headphone with few noticeable quirks. Compared to the excellent HD600 its open, airy and fairly even, it has extended treble, fairly detailed slightly recessed midrange, and very slightly boosted bass with good impact and articulation. Overall its a dynamic headphone, but has slightly less low level detail (softer) than the HD600. It has great room recovery of the natural room ambience of original recordings on par with the HD600. This headphone is a great starter for monitoring, mastering that live stream and if you want to take the time and "smell the roses" these are a great choice for high level audio listening (High Res). However, If you need to "count the leaves on the trees" then you'll need a different headphone due to this headphones very slightly soft character.
Took a while to get used to the amount of straight-up pressure this puts on your skull & jaw, but other than that, they are very comfortable. The padding is so plush, even having them on all day doesn't destroy you. Sound-wise, they have a very "warm" sound to them (I don't know enough terminology for a better description lol), and the mids and highs are lovely (a huge plus for me, maybe not for others). Apparently these were on sale at some point for a significantly better price? The price was worth when I purchased these, but if you can get them cheaper then even better!
