            The HD 598 produces well-balanced audio that is perfect for just about anything, and the HD 558 comes with a bit more bass. So, if you enjoy using a headphone when listening to movies and music with a lot of low tones, the HD 558 is the one for you. The Sennheiser HD 598 is surely the better pair overall.Nov 22, 2020
