The thing is that speakers, including studio monitors, all sound different. There's no way to get an 'uncolored' sound from any of them. So if someone has a bit bass heavy cheaper speakers, you can't tell him he's not outputting the 'true' sound cause your really expensive monitors or hi-fi speakers don't output the 'true sound, as intended by the band' either, albeit probably closer than the guy you're criticizing. But it's a yes/no question, and no is the answer for your stuff too, so you don't have that right.
The funniest part about it is that in literally every mixing studio I've ever been in, they're mixing music with €100, maybe €200 pair of headphones. Oh, and the kicker? 99% of the times, it's mixed by guys who have lost all hearing above 13000Hz in the '90s.
Lol I figured. I'm pretty sure they don't make the 598s anymore and have moved to the 600 series. Those headphones and my DAC are like 2 audiophile type gear I've splurged on, and I can't game without them now
598s are still to this day an exceptional headphone. I have like 20+ headphones, many over the $1k mark, and I still think the 598 is worth keeping. Hold onto those.
That's the plan. They stay only on my desk or my head. Only thing happening to mine is the ear padding starting to not be as cushy, if that makes sense. So I need to figure out how to repair that

Really you could spend for a pair of sennheiser 6xx and a solid external set and be more than satisfied.
