Reply to comment by 206Red in HD600 = absolute Endgame by xGuacamolly

Midrange and timbre are very important to me, which is why I pretty much enjoy the 600's sound more than other headphones I've tried. But I do listen to my K701's from time to time for something unique.

HD600 is a much, much better headphone than the 650/6XX. It's basically the same driver as the 650, except it isn't over-dampened. Its only real downside is the bass roll-off, but everything else about it IS good, and you can EQ the 'boring' parts of it to be more lively without much issue.

It's kind of like a much, much better version of the KSC75, which to my ears, still sounds better than the 6XX/650, lol

Sounds like I made the right call then lol. I haven't heard the 650, and don't have any plans to, but I have heard the Rode NTH-100, which did sound overdampened and blunted.

Oh for sure, those things are probably Sennheiser's best, imo. At least in terms of tonality.

Enjoy them, they tend to last forever as well.
