Super quick question, as I'm at work! I have a set of Sennheiser HD-590 headphones, which I've loved for the last 10-12 years. I normally listen to EDM music via either my phone, laptop or home cinema system. They still work, but obviously look a bit tired. I noticed Amazon.co.uk have the HD-598 on offer for £75, rather than an apparent RRP of c.£200 ...

The question is, are they cheap for a reason? You know, other than today being Black Friday. Are they superior to the HD-590? Basically, should I buy them? biggrin

Looks like a decent deal to me - excellent reviews from when it was full price. Think I will pick up a pair - cheers!

That's a good deal; another 40 or so quid on a USB DAC and you've got yourself a really good setup for not a load of cash.
