"I like the MX 980 as much, the bass seems to be more accurate and precise, and the details finer, however the soundstage and the overall feeling on HD 595 are better. But the highs on MX 980 are extremely well emphasized"
The sound is...Sennheiser. It reminds me a little of the CX 870 I had, but the details are much, much more precise, the soundstage better, and the overall sound warm, pleasant and I don't know...somehow very relaxing. Anyway, clearly another league compared to CX 300, 400, 500 and the like.
I also have the HD 595. After few listening sessions, I can say I like the MX 980 as much, the bass seems to be more accurate and precise, and the details finer, however the soundstage and the overall feeling on HD 595 are better. But the highs on MX 980 are extremely well emphasized, I really think that I found the highs I was looking for.
I'm not sure, but it seems that MX / CX 980 use different drivers than the MX / CX 870 / 880, I mean newer drivers. This would explain the price difference. On my beloved discman D-33 the sound is just stunning, I can't stop listening, I feel like listening to all my CDs again.
