It depends on what your looking for. If you like gimmicky gaming headphones with gimmicky 7.1 surround (my opinion) go for the logitechs. If you want a pair of headphones that dont look ridiculous, were designed for people who care about sound quality, and are good at things other than just gaming go for the 598s. Im a bit of an audio snob so take what I have to say with a grain of salt but I really dont like most "gaming" branded headphones I find most of them to be cheap low quality headphones with a nice coat of paint sold to gamers who dont know any better for way more than they are actually worth. Also the 598s dont have a mic obviously, so if you need one something like a mod mic would work.

DankDuck :
Ok, thank you
Just one more question: Is the surround sound on the Logitechs better than Sennheisers for gaming?
Well those logitechs only have a single 40mm driver in each ear so they are not truly "surround headphones" which have many smaller drivers in each ear. They likely use some sort of software to help you pinpont which direction sounds are coming from, which does that job well but in the process ruins sound quality. I have HD558s which are a step down from the 598s (they are very similar), I play bf4 all the time with none of that surround software crap and I still get great positional audio without sacrificing sound quality. The 598s have very good soundstage which in gaming will help you tell distance of a sound and direction of the sound without special software. I always feel I have the advantage in bf4, in quiet areas say inside a building I quite often hear enemy's before I ever see them.
