    RBH Sound Wireless and Beryllium Headphones Set New Industry Benchmark

    Yes electrical tape or your thumb to cover the ports. Not sure about the 598 vs 598SE. I did measure the HD600s which looks pretty similar though I used a cup instead of Mr. Bob. http://www.audioholics.com/headphone-reviews/sennheiser-hd-600-headphone-review

See the graphs comparing the new RBH HP-2 to the Sennheiser HD598SE. The sensitivity of the Sennheiser is about 7dB lower than the HP-2. For those...

    RBH Sound Wireless and Beryllium Headphones Set New Industry Benchmark

    Now that I have a pair of HP-2s in for review, I'd like to take time to do formal comparisons. Upon initial listening I felt the HP-2s sounded more lively than my Oppo PM-1s and Sennheiser HD600s. They are also lighter weight and more efficient.

    2015 Audioholics Product of the Year Award Winners

    I recommend saving your pennies and going for either a discounted Yamaha CX-A5000 or the new AV7702 from Marantz if you want Atmos. Emotiva should have some new pre/pros coming next year as they have a hole in their lineup without a more cost effective solution right now.
