I feel similarly about the HD 600s. They're good headphones for music I don't listen to and not so good for music I do listen to (mostly /r/symphonicmetal), so now they're sitting in my drawer as a backup pair most of the time.

Maybe try EQ as the other commenter suggested. If you still don't like the 600s after applying EQ, or can't/don't want to use EQ for some reason, I think it's best to return them.

My favourites are Sennheiser HD560S, AKG K612 Pro and Hifiman HE400SE.

Always wanted to try a HD560s, never have though. I'm in upper middle class fi hell these days.

They're my favourite Sennheisers under $500 (haven't really tried their high-end stuff), highly recommended.

I have a bunch of cans that are "above" these and many that are equal. Still want to try them.
