Price/Performance: 5 star headphone.
IMPORTANT: BURN IN THE HEADPHONE FOR 24 HOURS.
These have a pretty solid soundstage, much bigger than your typical closed headphone. They definitely excel with any kind of acoustic music. I have also found that they're great headphones for tuning a system because it's very easy to hear changes in the system and make sense of them. Very balanced sound.
They aren't the type that make every type of music sound good. They make most types sound good, but I actually dislike them with most techno music. For one, they don't have the greatest bass of all time, and they're a bit mid bass heavy for most techno tracks.
Some headphones in the price range produce better bass, such as Meze 99 Noir's. But, the HD6XX are in general much more revealing and accurate across the rest of the frequency range than other headphones in this price range.
Once you realize that these headphones are way beyond most USB dac/amp combos you'll appreciate how good they can be. Don't be to quick to judge these headphones as they're very transparent and reveal every little miscue in your setup.
