Comfortable and good balanced sound. Can't go wrong at this price point.
Update: Drop refunded me the price difference with an email request.
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.

doesnt make sense to buy this when you already have a similar one i guess plus mine are broken in, bought them in 2014
- Jubilees clamping pressure is much stronger. I find myself using them less because of this
- 599s are more open, and thus a wider soundstage
- 599s have more bass, but Jubilees are clearer
- 599s are easier to drive and get volume out of
- Jubilees have slightly fatiguing highs whereas the 599s dont
For movies and games, I would always choose the 599s. For music the Jubilees, but not for long listening sessions.
One annoyance with the Jubilees for me is the dual wiring. It constantly gets caught on my chin when I try to put them around my neck.
One under appreciated aspect is the low fatigue signature being great for Zoom and conference calls. Some voices/mics can be quite grating to my ears, especially in the morning. With the 58x that's not a problem. Then I can switch Peace over to the oratory1990 Harman EQ and really enjoy music and games.
This is not to say that music doesn't sound good without EQ, but the sub bass bump and lifted veil you get via EQ sounds even better as long as you have a good source.
100% necessary to bend the headband wider IMO, clamp is just too much out of the box. Luckily its quite easy to flex the metal to a more comfortable shape, just watch a Youtube on it first.
I also accidentally ordered Dekoni leather earpads (meant for other headphones )for these and they actually increase the bass quite a bit. They now sound like what I describe as 6XX lite. Just the right amount of bass, while keeping the brightness.

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
Are these the exact same in terms of comfort as the 600/650, worse? Or better? Closer to the 598s?
The 600/650s were redic for me. Not just the pressure on the sides but the band at the top. 599/598 not bad really at all
Upvotes on slickdels? Are you being serious?
Let me ask you. Do you understand 3-blob problem with the 598/6xx/560? Do you even know what a 3-blob is?
