http://www.sennheiserusa.com/ still lists them, their site is
somewhat confusing, they have fuzzy categories, some heaphones are in
few of them, HD570 is in Home entertainment only (while other HD5* are
also in Audiophile)...
but they also list HD580! and I couldn't find them anywhere when I
was looking (2 yrs ago?). Weird.
for me: HD570 are perfect for half of my music - prince, vanessa-mae,
cibo-matto, even chuck berry. I guess you could find better headphones
for link wray, sex pistols, dead kennedys (maybe those would need
_lower_ quality headphones, I am not an expert:-) I wonder how would
HD600 sound (I guess I'll take iPod for test drive:-)

... HD580 reference snipped ...
I was under
impression they were
replaced by slightly cheaper HD570 and same/price or slightly more
expensive HD590
But aren't 570 discontinued too? I tested
both HD570 ($130) and HD590 ($200?) and I liked HD570 more,
slightly cleaner sound, then again I tested them with mp3 player
(PJB-100) so take it with grain of salt:-)
Interesting. 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).
