> Sound is good but I‘m not blown away

I think this is a pretty typical response.

What you may find interesting is in 5 years from now after you’ve purchased many more expensive headphones, you’ll still find yourself frequently reaching for the 6XX.

I’ve made this comparison before, but the 6XX are like the Honda Civic of the audiophile world. There’s nothing flashy or exotic about them, but they’re just a really good product. They sound good, they’re well built, they’re deceptively comfortable, and they’re reliable and enjoyable.

You can find headphones with more detail and deeper bass and more exotic build materials and much wider soundstages. And yet even audiophiles with virtually unlimited budgets tend to love the 600/650/6XX and keep one in their collection.

Driving a Corvette and a Ferrari and a Bugatti can be a ton of fun. But sometimes you just want a Honda Civic in your driveway.

Yep, I concur. I already own some LCD 2's, Focal Radiance, Focal Clear MG. And I recently just bought another pair of 6xx's because I missed the pair I sold lmao

Agreed! Aside from songs with an emphasis on sub bass, everything sounds just as it should in the sense that nothing sonically sticks out or lacks in the frequency spectrum on these cans. I have the DCA Expanse as my main HP and offloaded a couple of cans that consequently got completely supplanted, but I won’t part with my HD 600.

Not me, once I bought my sundaras I haven't touched my 6xx's in over a year
