I assume this model superceedes the HD555's ? They are the ones I have currently and I find them to be itchy or just overly not breathable with the fabric they use around the ears, if you do long nerd sessions like myself it can be a tad uncomfortable and I end up moving them a lot. (if they didin't change this) also they were prone to cracking at the edges where you adjust the size, however it was more aesthetic than functional damage.

I had the HD500's before that for a lot of years, big fan of the brand and the series.

Great review by the way, maybe sounds a bit too biased perhaps/sales pitch. maybe if you could compare them to something else or have some specific tests you could do so if you do another set of headphones in future you have something to compare. Perhaps where you can purchase them also.

Keep up the good work

They do. I previously owned 515s which definitely used a less comfortable fabric than the 558. If the 515/555 used the same fabric then it's definitely improved, but the fabric in the 515 never felt itchy to me... :/
