All the older headphone designs that are still in productions are just excellent, DT150, HD25, CD900ST and the STAX Lamda. All plasticy and infinitely serviceable.

1960 !
Are you sure about that ? Always thought of the DT100 of as a classic 70s phone used by my favouite band Pink Floyd, amongst others and yes I was around then,

 
This should serve as a good visual aid , that's the Legendary M88TG on the left and the DT109 on the right.

i had a DT250 for almost a decade, but i was a noob "headfoner" then,
just plugged it into my old cdplayer n listened to it. 
V curious how this DT250 will measure up to the dt150 now ..
i presume the DT250 is a latter model, n an improvement of sorts?

From the comparisons I looked at before deciding on the 150, they're different designs for different purposes; the 250 isn't intended to be an improved 150 (and in a very general sense, it seems the consensus is that the 150 probably sounds better).

I'm in the club now. My brand new pair sound great. A tad too much midbass reverb but hopefully that will go away if I keep exercising the drivers.

I had to open it and switch the stereo connections. Right sided cable makes me confused. So now they are left side plugged. I turned the buttoned headband padding too just to feel more authorized

Sound signature is similar to my Mr Speakers Mad Dogs. If you like the Mad Dogs you'll probably like DT 150 too.

Interesting, I actually like them a good bit more than the Mad Dogs, as to my ears the Mad Dogs had noticeably rolled-off treble (and this is coming from someone who thinks the LCD-2s sound very balanced).

Well this is unexpected, a HD 600 came in the mail from a friend it seems.

at times i tot my DT150/DT100velor is a closed version of the hd600...kinda. (off my sonic memory)

Ah I see, haven't really heard the DT 150 with the DT 100 velours. I have to adjust to the HD 600s sound and let it burn-in. The HD 600 seems a bit veiled, though it could simply because I'm so used to AKGs and Beyers and the fact it's brand new. I've been switching to and from a cardas cable and it seems to make a difference in clarity, have to test it more.

I've been switching to and from a cardas cable I held onto from my HD 545 and the veil is gone and the dynamics have more bite.

 
+1 on that Cardas.

I am going to burn-in the headphone for a couple weeks and just use the stock cable, the cardas cable is a bit too bulky for my tastes. After the headphone is well worn-in and burned-in, I'll try the cardas cable more to see if it really makes a difference or not. Sometimes cables seem to make a difference, other times not.

Pretty sure its the opposite , you might be used to the accentuated highs on AKGs , although the 712s are dark ? 
I find the 600s to extend very well , coming from crazy bright headphones I never described the 600s as veiled , sure I might for the 650s but never for the 600s , they extend and resolve very well .

I am used to brighter headphones than the HD 600. The K712's are not dark sounding, especially considering the forward upper midrange and lower-mid treble of them. Anyways I'm more used to the DT 150's sound right now than the K712's. I don't find the HD 600 veiled now after adjusting to their sound. The thing is the HD 600 is the darkest and warmest headphone I've owned in a while, so it doesn't surprise me they came off as veiled at first. I noticed they extend and resolve very well and they are really growing on me after spending more time with them.
