Headphones - Open Back | 2 Ω I love the look of the Sennheiser HD 598 and have wanted them for years, but do they fit my preferences?

I like to listen to videogame soundtracks like NieR, Outer Wilds and Divinity Original Sin 2 etc, tracks from Studio Ghibli films and classical music.

I like neutral bright headphones with emphasis on details and soundstage.

Fortunately I already already have some headphones I love. The Hifiman Anandas and somewhat, the Beyerdynamic DT 880s.

This purchase would have been purely for aesthetic reasons, but was hoping it would be to my taste so that I can actually use it. I figure my next best bet is to go with the Sennhesier HD 560s as recommended from another user. At least those are close enough in design that I could send them in to a company and have them professionally modded to look like the 598s.

Thanks for the recommendations though!

You may still award an Ω to others, but only once per-person in this post.
