Reply to comment by keynzeev in Sennie day - to me the goat is the 58X by keynzeev

Agreed. I've owned HD600, HD650 and HD58X and the 58X is the only one I've kept.

How is it different from HD600?

I had expected it to be very similar.

The biggest difference is that the HD600 is much more forward in the upper mids around 3 KHz. I'm pretty sensitive in that area, so it makes the HD600 unpleasant at higher listening volumes. A lesser difference is that the HD58X has better extended and tighter sounding bass, though that might mostly just be because I can comfortably listen a bit louder than with the HD600.

It's been years since I've had the HD600, but I would say that on treble quality (extension and evenness) the HD600 is probably better than the HD58X, so if you listen to a lot of acoustic music, especially string instruments, and you don't mind the shout around 3KHz, the HD600 is probably a better choice.
