Cons: My preference is a coiled cord. The straight cord supplied is crazy long. No case or stand provided. Some may not like the open-backed design as you can hear ambient noise around you and others can hear what you're listening to due to sound leakage, but they aren't really meant for walking down the street so...

Pros: Amazing sound, huge sound stage (great for gaming), excellent detail. I love the beige and wood grain looks.
Comment:
I use them primarily for gaming paired with a clip-on mic and they beat any gaming headphones hands down. They also are awesome for music. Bass is very present, but not overpowering so the mids and highs are not drowned out. Excellent for a wide variety of music genres.These cans are also ridiculously comfortable (I seriously don't even feel them on my head for extended listening or gaming sessions).

Product Features

Not only is the HD 598 aesthetically pleasing to the eyes but they also provide an impeccable sound quality and unrivaled comfort. These open, circumaural headphones come with high-gloss burl wood parts and matching ear pads for a sophisticated, premium finish. With Sennheiser's innovative E.A.R. technology, audio signals are directly channeled into your ears. These headphones also incorporate a special diaphragm geometry that minimizes intermediation distortion while delivering an impressive frequency response range, plus a highly constant compressed cellulose fleece to hold harmonic distortion to less than 0.1%. And to accentuate the already outstanding listening experience even further, their high quality leatherette headband and velour ear pads provide outstanding wearing comfort, even for long listening sessions.
