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.

These things are the bee's knees.
The whole point of this is because the driver has a hole in it and if you remove the foam, then dust will get inside the drivers. Hence, you attach a breathable "filter" (like the foam it came with) to stop dust from accumulating inside the driver and potentially damaging it. Removing the foam basically takes out the muffle and it makes it sound more like the 6xx I believe. One caveat is there is a slight decrease in the bass as that is what the foam helped accentuate. Here's the weird part though. I went back and forth A-B testing with and without the foam. And after a couple of times, I ended up with using the material over the driver, and keeping the foam. I swear, the muffle was gone and the bass level was preserved. Not sure if it was because my material of choice or because it's all just a placebo and i'm going crazy, but it works for me.
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
