If you have a wide head avoid! They clamp HARD and gave me headaches if worn over 30min. I tried changing the pads to something softer & thicker and it didn't help.

Seconded, wearing them was some kind of german head torture.

i was considering the Sony-WH-CH700N

Note: rtings.com as part of their reviews they measure "clamping force" of headphones.

lol amazon advertising their shitty $19 headphones next to these

I have them at work and love them. The sound is good but a lot of the time I just leave them quiet with the noise cancelling on to get rid of the ambient noise in our office.

Yeah, that's what I heard as well. It's definitely a tighter clamp, but I heard that it wears in. You can also stretch it out by having it clamp on to a thicker object that isn't your head

How do these sound compared to the 598SE's?

I would put them in different categories in utilization.

598s are open-backed with no isolation. Trebles and highs are better, but worse bass.

I went with the 4.5 because of an ANC option + closed back

lol how is head torture exclusive to Germans? I mean, just listening to Carly Rae Jepsen...that's Canadian head torture...

Well odd you bring those up. I sold the 4.5s and switched to WH-CH700Ns. WAY more comfortable and easier to wear long-term. Love them personally.

pretty good at this price. for all the technology they put in. i saw headphone bar open box sells for more than this and sold pretty quickly.

i had senheiser from crappy 30 bucks ones that found at yard sale for 5 bucks over the ear model to hd800 and even that crappy one sounds really good for what it is. main thing about these wireless is comfort. i have audeze mobius and that one has small cup and it's not comfortable. this looks have medium size cups. don't want to touch ear with any headphones.

thanks, good to know.

I'd appreciate a quick opinion. In terms of sound quality, which is better: Audio Technica ATH-M50XBT OR Sennheiser HD 4.50 ?

Thanks.
