Sennheiser HD 598
Comfort
The HD 598s gently caress your skull.
Short-Term Use (8.00)
When we put the HD 598s on our heads for the first time, we noticed right away that they gripped our skulls firmly, but the thick padding on the ear cups eliminated any discomfort we would feel. Simply put, for our size heads, the Sennheiser HD 598s fit us well and are very comfortable to wear. Keep in mind though, you may or may not have a differently-proportioned head than we do, so try these on before you take the plunge and buy the Sennheiser HD 598s!
Extended Use (8.00)
Over time, the wear didn’t change, so the HD 598s earn the same marks here.
Customizability (1.75)
Aside from the option of recabling, or plugging into a 1/8th jack, there isn’t anything that you can do to customize your pair of HD 598s.

$99.954Sennheiser CX 680i
The Sennheiser CX 680i in-ear headphones are a decent set of lower-mid-range headphones with a remote & mic. They don't have the best quality and they're not quite as rugged as we would've expected from a set of in-ears aimed at the gym crew, but they're a great value at $100. Read full 13-part review
