Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread

That's exactly right - timbre is great but they are almost unreal that they sound so good. Now - no HD600 fan is going to deny that they enjoy the HD600 sound because it is a GREAT sound. I just don't they are natural in the way the DT-880(600 ohms) are and I own and love both cans. I would prefer classical on the Beyers mostly because acoustic sounds more real on them.

See, having extensively auditioned the 600 ohm version and owned the 32 ohm version of the DT 880, I'd argue the opposite...  It was a headphone I wanted to like but couldn't for the hot, unrealistic treble.
 
I've yet to listen to any headphone that portrays brass instruments and saxophone more realistically than the HD 600, including the HD 800 and T1.  IMHO of course, since we all hear differently...

When I'm going to for bass, I put 55 and 77Hz to +20dB and then auto level that.  I can then push the HD600's to really great amounts of bass, which gives me headaches lol.  You can feel the headphone vibrating (I don't push it though, just to keep my HD600's from damaging).
 
Quite epic like on 30STM's Hurricane track (the album version).

+20 at 55 and 77hz? Lol definitely different strokes for different folks.

Listening to the HD600s for the past few hours...I really miss my 5LEs!

Of course, and they're good headphones, as far as dynamics go, but I do miss that smooth, effortlessly detailed, completely enveloping sound of the 5LEs.  
 
Vinyl?  I'm jealous!  Rock on.

Hmm, I'm wondering how an AKG K501 would compare to the HD600. Anyone have had experience with both?

My headphone preferences have changed slightly though, so I'm moving in other directions now to support that. The HD 600 is still a wonderful headphone, and I'm grateful for it and the other stuff that I currently have and have tried.

Moving on from a beloved headphone or amp - takes courage and strength - the first two weeks are rough until you realize there are plenty of other fish in the sea - or you check head-fi **** for relief,,,,,after a month - you are footloose and fancy free,,,popping into the nearest dance bar to check out the latest audio eq, buy drinks and strike up a conversation - once you got the number of the model ---- its just a question of taking it home .... and establishing rules for your new found relationship...

Ive tried many other cans before too after my first hd580 then was impressed with the hd600 more than a decade later then moved on to other cans again but now I'm back loving the 600s. I am never letting go of these again. These are as good as it gets for me among dynamics and i even like them more than the he-6
