Me too, I was unimpressed by the 590. They felt bland when compared to the 600. I'm itching to try out the 595 which some say it's Sennheiser's answer to the critiques that it typically has a "too laid-back sound" (i think they're confusing transparency with being laid-back, but maybe that's just me). -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/
