Greetings friends.
 
I recently responded to a Craigslist ad with these headphones in them.
They were listed as HD 580s but as you can see in the photo below they seem to have the blue tag and speckled plastic leading me to believe they are actually HD 600s.
I've searched around and can't find any record of a model of 580s that had these features. The photo is too grainy to confirm for sure and the seller is out of contact for awhile.
The listing has been pulled from CL but I had saved this photo luckily. I can't even confirm these are the actual headphones but I suspect they are since he had 4-5 photos of different angles in the same setting. He should be back in contact eventually but my curiosity is killing me in the meantime.
 
They could be the Jubilee versions but the pattern seems more random than carbon fiber - hard to tell!
 
 
 
Here is a slightly zoomed and brightened version

Thats absolutely an HD600 pictured.  Not a 580 or the Jubilee.
I would also ask him of the headphones pictured are the actual item being sold or are they "borrowed" pics.  If hes selling an HD580, but using (the wrong) pics from someone else... that would be a red flag in my book.  Honesty and integrity are very important to me when dealing with www sales.
 
Just my .02 though... Good Luck with the sale!!  Might want to surf the BST forum, there's a few unclaimed 580/600/650 on there right now and the prices seem to be dropping a little.

I dug around in BST and didn't see any active 600s - did you know of any specifically? I didn't get past the first page of search results.
