Got these for about $140 or $150 about 18 months ago IIRC. The headband feels cheap and plasticy, but…

Comfortable and good balanced sound. Can't go wrong at this price point.
Thank you. Bought mine three weeks ago for $150 and I'm going to try to get the difference refunded.

Update: Drop refunded me the price difference with an email request.
I have both and I would say the X2 are better for gaming/movies as they have more bass, soundstage is great, and you can slap a v-moda boompro mic and you're good to go.

The 58X are better for music imo as they are more detailed and have amazing mids, so it's preference, really. I always switch out between the 2 headphones.

I have more headphones than you can imagine and I use my 58x Jubilees more than any other set. They aren't the best overall, but they are easily the most versatile and they're easy to drive. The soundstage is great and with a bit of equalization they can even fill out the bass that some people find lacking. Of course sound is very much a matter of individual taste, so I understand that some folks may not like them, but you can't beat the price.

These or DT 990 Pro's?
My experience with the Beyer line, 770s, 990s, etc. have all been that they have piercing, fatiguing high treble which was a dealbreaker for me. My ears still hurt thinking about it. Sound signature is also V shaped for both, good or bad depending on your pref. Both built like tanks. I personally prefer the Sennheiser line, the original 600 and 650 which the 6xx is based on are both excellent. I have the HD800S as the go-to at home for music, but looking for something more general use, WFH zoom calls etc. that I can toss around and won't cry too hard if the dog chewed it. I'd get the HD6xx if on sale, but the 58x at this price is also very tempting.

Edit. Gaming and movies mostly.

I sold my Jubilee and use my x2 for gaming. A bit more comfortable. I never tired my Jubilee for gaming, but IIRC, more people recommended the x2 for gaming, so I went that route.

I agree on the ear piercing 770s. I returned the pair I had but the 990s are open and don't have that harshness. (IMO)

Highly recommend for this price, but a few notes. I bought this before, but I ended up buying used HD600...

1 The finish is very cheap and plasticky.

2 The sound is very close to HD600, but if you compare them side by side, you'll notice HD600 is a better headphone, more resolution, more balanced frequency response.

3 Very popular headphones and you can sell a pair for more than $150 on Ebay. I did.

I say the Fidelio x2 if you want to use a v-moda boom pro for one wire (Its what I use).
If not using a headset mic I think its a toss up of preference.
I agree though I'd pick the Senns if not using a v-moda mic.

Can anyone compare these directly to the HD 558? Thinking about an upgrade but I don't really need it.

Returned mine 5 months ago. Was not happy with the cheap plastic feel. Also, very uncomfortable to wear for multiple hours.

The best $500 or less audiophile and gaming headphones is going to be a DT880 Beyerdynamic 600 ohm version. But at $129 for the HD58x is a deal.
to be fair the DT1990 pros were $400 a few weeks ago. that was a steal although still not sure id drop 400 on a pair of cans for gaming.

These are my favorite headphone for long listening session as the sound is very reference/neutral and doesn't cause listening fatigue. For comparison I also have the Fidelio X2HR, they have a more exciting fun sound as it is more V shape EQ. The plug from the wire to the headphone are proprietary on the HD58X so the X2 are better as it's just a 3.5mm if you want to use a boom mic for gaming. I have the opposite experience with comfort. After I gently bent the headband to ease the clamping force I find it very comfortable and breathable for an over ear headphone. The X2 are comfortable, but a good amount heavier. With regarding to the HD6XX if you aren't going to be using an amp/dac I would recommend the 58X. The HD65XX is considered by most the better headphone, but isn't as easy to drive. I use Apple Music with my iPhone with the lightning to 3.5mm adapter and get 24 bit 48 hz which is well above cd quality. My ears aren't good to tell the difference of anything above cd quality.

I think getting the price refunded could be a bit of a hassle because there are no returns at Massdrop... So we have no leverage

I bought both of these used a year ago, $50 for the 558s and $120 for for the 58Xs. I kept the 558s, sound was extremely close. I only used them for gaming though. I have other cans for music.
