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.

Quote from TheShawnster :
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.
I think this actually well encapsulates the Sennheiser sound in the 58X and 6 series headphones. It took me nearly two years to start liking my 6XX. I bought them within 10-20 minutes of the original drop's start and have set number 980 out of 130,000+ now. I just really didn't like them "that" much compared to my other headphones regardless of amplification. Over time, I started reaching for them more and more without realizing it and now I absolutely love them. They will never give you the chills or make you incredibly engaged and energized like some other headphones. It's just that everything sounds good with them. They are never harsh, never dull, just smooth. The clamp really grows on you over time too.

Much better for most music. Explosions will be more impactful on the XM4 so if you enjoy them good ol' Michael Bay 'splosion movies, these will not give you that punch. No ANC either. In all other aspects of sound, though, these will still be better than the XM4 for movies.

Crazy how I bought these a few days ago for $170! I just contacted them for a price adjustment. Hopefully they'll approve my request. Thanks for the post!

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

This is completely inaccurate. Right off the product page:

"US customers may return or exchange these items in new, unused condition within 30 days of delivery by contacting Drop Support."

That's not to say they'll refund the difference, but Drop not accepting returns is entirely not the case.

Oh. Then I stand corrected. Maybe there has been a policy change. My understanding was that since they buy in bulk, they couldn't return.

put furniture felt on this and it will blow your mind!!! Best mods every for this and it will cost you under 3 to 5 dollars.
I did this mod but used a a cutout from a cheap dust mask filter inner liner (almost like a coffee filter) with double sided tape. Most amazing headphone now. Without the mod, the headphones are just "okay" imo. I never tried felt but i'm sure it's more or less very similar.

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.

No way jose. DT880 was my first headphone over $100. I've since moved on to X2, 598, 6xx, 560, and others mentioned here, all of which I prefer to the DT880. It was sold long ago.

Not an audiophile myself perse, but asked someone about it when the 599 SEs were on sale for $100. He owns both, said that although he can tell the difference between the 58x and the 599s if he tries to, they sound similar enough that he doesn't have a preference between them for general use. He did recommend 560S if you want to spend a little more for better sound though. Having said that, audio is really subjective, ymmv.

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.
The secret is the DT880 600 ohm version. The rest of the lineup from Beyerdynamic is pretty garbage.

Everything that you mentioned "you moved on to" are great for audiophile hi-res music. You didn't carefully read what I wrote. Let me repeat:

Gaming and Audiophile. Not just audiophile. The DT880 has a surprisingly accurate and clear soundstage and imaging which is crucial for gaming. Now if you did your research on the 598, 6xx, 560 then you'll know that soundstage or imaging is complete garbage. LOL


How do you like that 3-blob soundstage so far? hahahha

Wired headphones.
Quote from coolcoder :
Bought these a few years ago from Massdrop. Sound was decent, but clamping force/pressure was just too much for me, even after trying to reduce it by bending the headband. No matter what I did, these were just not comfortable for me.
This user probably has a massive skull. I have short-med length hair and have no complaints about comfort. In fact I can wear these with glasses.

Yeah, for gaming, the DT880 is really good. It's soundstage isn't great but it's imaging, both L/R and F/B, is insanely good. If you are going to say best for both music and gaming under $500, give me a Hifiman Sundara, an AKG K712 Pro, or a Shure 1840 any day over the DT880 since each have a better balance of imaging and soundstage and just sound better in general. The DT880 is probably overall the best at $200, but there is just too much competition once you double that budget.
