So today, I decided to put a home theater set-up mic in one of the cups and test the frequency response of my HD600's and make some small EQ compensations. The result? Perfectly flat across the spectrum except for the bass. Bass roll-off is completely normal to some degree but the roll-off here starts from like 90Hz. By 30Hz, the roll-off is pretty severe and a listening test confirmed this. I used RoomEQ to properly compensate for the roll-off but maybe they just need an amp like everyone says they do..
This is particularly strange, considering the HD600 is known for an excess of bass rather than a lack thereof. When comparing to the Headroom graph I found that my setup 'sounded' completely different.
So.. could it be that the Essence doesn't have enough juice to power the HD600 properly?
