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.

598/599 are good enough for the average joe i guess
audiophiles will need more
That said, the 58X are very comfortable but the headband may need some stretching out for some people.
Sennheiser is exiting the consumer headphone market and selling the trademark to chicoms.

Compared to the HD598, it has more bass and more neutral on the high end.
Compared to the HD6xx, it is not as warm but otherwise very similar in every other area. Some people say the HD6xx is more resolving, but i don't hear it.

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.
