boomphones vs. sennheiser hd 598?

Question

about a month ago I felt the need to get headphones. I started to look at the beats first (because they are the most popular) but then I said those were no good at anything, then I started looking at the bose QuietComfort 15 with an $299.99 price tag and it wasn't bad. I went to the cheaper side with sennheiser and boomphones and then I found a specific headphone from each company and found the two headphones to battle against each other sennheiser hd 598 vs. boomphones pahantom. the problem is boomphones pahantom aren't that popular. should I get the hd 598, the phantoms, both, or the bose qc 15? need someone with experience from all three headphones based on sound quality, design, comfort, noise isolation and cancelation, durability and most importantly, features. id appreciate everyone's help!!

P.S. If you want, you can recommend me a new headphone as long as it is less than $150

P.P.S. I am not necesscerily an audiophile but I still want good bass and sound quality.

Answer 1

ANY Sennheiser wins ANY Boombox HANDS DOWN.



If REAL quality is an issue, please go for REPUTABLE brands only such as B&W, Sennheiser (most affordable), Shure, Grado, Denon, AKG, Audio-Technica, Etymotic or Beyerdynamic. Things like V-Moda, Klipsch, Sony, Panasonic, JVC and Philips are ONLY "okay-ish" indeed. Please do NOT fall a victim to FASHION ACCESSORIES by buying Boombox, Ministry of Sound, Sol/Republic/Revolution, Noontec Zoro's, Benetton, a-jays, iFrogz, Marley, Fanny Wang, Razer, Karl Kani, WESC, Turtle, JH, Dr.Dre/Beats/Solo, Ludacris/Soul, Koss, Skullcandy, Lady GaGa, Skullcrushers, Monsters nor Bose, because they are ALL seriously overhyped and overpriced "fashion blingbling gimmicks" with a very poor durability and sound quality, NOTHING else (and those who try to claim they are good do NOT know ANYTHING about QUALITY anyway!), BE THEM FAKE OR NOT!



Also, please do NOT go for the overly thumping bass that only distorts everything else, focus on GOOD sound quality and durability IN GENERAL.

Answer 2

Get the Sennheiser 598's

Answer 3

I even have the sony xb500 and that they sound awsome. they have have rather good bass and are loud yet are no longer rather transportable. in case you prefer to get peortable headphones you may get the smaller version the sony xb300. you may get the xb500 for $50 and the xb300 for $30 on amazon and you get loose transport.
