Headphone selection can be complicated as some are more suited for recording or live band use, some mixing and many just enjoying music a most subjective aspect. So there are many models maybe way too many making it difficult, sort of picking shoes on the Internet - may or may not be the best fit or feeling. Bass heads that want a music "blast" might find other models more to that design "taste". I have recently tested many models and have just a few top pics at under the $300 price level and the HD518's are my best pic for all around listening. Low distortion with wide response using E.A.R. Senn's design science seems to work very well for wide choice of music. Sound quality is exceptional detailed stage with bass solid and clean as at all frequencies, complex thick dynamic music...

After giving both units about 2 days of playing pink noise through a spare PC, I settled into my chair and began listening to some tracks I was very familiar with. Some of the treble seemed a bit bright and the mids seemed muddled and somewhat vague. The bass was spectacular for an open can and far surpassed the Bose Tri-Ports they replaced. I tweaked the settings on my PC and played with the volume on the amp and found some settings more to my tastes. I still wasn't satisfied with the overall sound though. Finally, I hooked them up to my Yamaha home receiver and played the same tracks I auditioned earlier on CD. Finally the clarity and detail I was looking for. After taking some notes on certain songs I returned to my computer and plugged the phones right into my sound card. I fired up WinAmp and played the...

Which headphone is the best? HD 598 hands down. However, that headphone leaks so much sound it can only be used at my man cave. It can be heard from 30 ft away w/ "decent" volume. Anyways, HD518 was kind of between HD280 PRO and HD 598. For HD280, I use it at work and it leaks litterally zero sound! I love it. However, the open stage experience is very short and it's not so comfortable. You'll always be aware that you're wearing a headset which kind of gets annoying after a while. With HD598, it feels so comfortable... I forget I'm wearing it in less than 5 seconds and massive open stage sound. So, that's where HD518 comes in... right in the middle. Most of the time, I'll be using this headset and love the extra kick of bass. So, if you're looking for headphone that gives open stage sound that's less than $100 then this is it. If you have a man cave where no one can hear you... Read more |
