I am probably not the most helpful in this question - but I tend to listen to all types of music (metal, rock, EDM, pop, dance, classical, jazz, soundtracks) - and I usually and exclusively prefer the HD660s2 for that for it's warmer analytical sound. HD490 pro are a bit more exciting and bit more b

Sorry i can't comment on the MTW 4, But to share my experiences as of late: in 2016 i purchased hd 598 from Amazon, they still work to this day, they've been dropped, mishandled and all sorts, i have slammed them (Stupidly first few years, thanks league of legends), they work almost fine, they rattl

The A50’s are the only headset that I consider to be good pair of gaming headsets. I used to use them before I upgraded to a pair of Sennheiser HD 599’s and actually do kinda miss them to the point I’m on second hand marketplaces trying to find a good deal on a gen 3.

I feel like it. I used to use razer electra headsets for my pc - then in 2016 experienced the hd 598 - amazing, no issues, 10 years later, i'm struggling to replace them with NEW headphones that do the SAME job.
