Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread

Are you talking about the pinna gain peak at 3.5k? Because neither my set nor any others I've seen have a measured 4-5k peak.
Here's the OG marble HD600 vs the modded one. As you can see, the 5K resonance is quite subdued.

Huh. Looks like you might have an outlier set. Most (measured) sets seem to peak somewhere between 3.2k and 3.8k, and it isn't a resonance peak. AFAIK the only major resonance on the HD 600 is somewhere around 100Hz.

I tried the 620s today and was severely disappointed. The bass was weak, and felt like it lacked dynamics, and overall felt more boxed in than the HD600. The isolation also felt pretty minimal for a closed back.

I would safely say that the HD600, paired with a good bass boost or EQ feature does the job much better than the 620s

Sounds like you didn't get a good seal, as this is the opposite of most feedback so far.

. If you like big, full bass that hits very low, I would make sure you have at least one other pair of headphones to supplement the HD 600. But IMO you generally don't need as much bass as you think you do.
I also have the momentum 4's and they do supply very good sub bass.
But outside of those deep, deep sub-bass hits, most of the track's bass content is actually much higher and will be plenty audible. Often mid and upper bass is good at giving the impression of being lower than it is, so it sounds like plenty
And I do agree here. Some tracks give an oomph in the mid and higher bass and act as if it's sub bass
