Having trouble deciding between these two. Any thoughts? My main preference is something slightly on the warmer / smoother side as I've found my ears don't tolerate brightness well as I've grown older. I was pretty set on the 599s (and I love the brown/cream colour!) but the 560s seem to be very highly regarded as well. Short of buying both, comparing, and returning the loser, I don't know which to go for. Just wondering if anybody out there has actually got experience with these?

Mainly listen to female vocalists and older rock, so looking for a more natural laid back sound rather than bass heavy / electronic stuff. Will be using with an iFi Zen DAC and Amazon HD streaming. Currently using JVC HA-RX900 cans that don't sound terrible, but are very uncomfortable. Looking for something easier on the ears and a step up in sound quality.

Thanks!
