Refusal to take responsibility.
Hi, Just thought I would make a note here of your handling of my issues. I ordered a pair of HD6xx headphones and then earlier today recieved the package. I drive to go and get it, as I like in the UK I had to pay import tax and handling fees. These total £47.92. The breakdown being £35.92 in tax and £12 in fees. These taxes were calculated of the shipping label of the box, which marked the shipment as the 6xx headphones of $199 value. Before leaving the parcel depot, I open the box to find a $35 lord of the rings mousepad. So now the problem is not only do I not have the headphones, but you have marked the shipment wrong so I have paid £47.92 fees for the handling of the mousepad. Which would have acrued £0 of fees if marked correctly as it is under £135. I go back to the desk but as I have already paid the fees I am unable to reject the shipment, but as the box said 6xx, there was no way for me to know before opening it. I contact support and they offer me a replacement, which...

Long story short, I really like these. Compared to my previous higher end headphones (Fidelio L2 and Sennheiser 558), the 58X Jubilee offers noticeably better clarity, detail, and imaging. It has a more neutral sound for my ears than the L2 or 558 and excels more often than it does not.
While its soundstage isn't as wide as my 558s, I prefer its separation and imaging in a lot of instances, especially for gaming. For music it does very well across many genres but excels in electronic heavy genres with its solid but not overdone bass.
I found the build quality very good. My only issue is the earpads are on the warmer side and less breathable than my 558s or even my L2s which is less than great in the summer heat.
The 58X has easily become my new primary pair of headphones for both music and gaming.
For anyone first entering into the arena of higher end headphones this is kind of an amazing entry point at the $150 price point.
