So this is my first review guys, and that's because I finally have a useful comparison to make! With Sennheiser's release of the 630VB, I caught the bug to get a high quality portable pair! However, I never pay full price and almost always buy used, and I was not about to pay 500 USD for a pair of sennheiser portables (My HD600s I got for 240 USD on ebay and I bet they are better then the 630VBs).
So began my search, I really wanted an audiophile grade closed back headset for portable use, I have Audiotechnica Ws99s which are a lovely bass headphone in the 100 dollar range with great mids, but I wanted more! That's when I stumbled on the Beyerdynamic T70 s on ebay. The impulse buyer I am, I had a good feeling about them and bought them immediately after reading one good review video that said they are better than the T5s (the other pair I was looking at, they're available in the 500USD range themselves! Not sure why anyone would get the new sennheisers when you can get the top of the line teslas for cheap!)
I am enjoying these more than the Sennheiser HD600s, although the HD600s have a much wider soundstage that is apparent when there is panning ambient sounds. I never fully understood the idea of the HD600s being "neutral" until I listened to these new headphones (bought new because there were no cheaper used pairs I could find! I guess people keep these
) the t70s are really in your face and upfront about the details they are giving you while the HD600s are more ambient and airy, both cool in their own way.
Treble: Not piercing at all, very present and forward in a way that the HD600s don't match.
Mids: Rich, not like my audiotechnica where the mids are very "fat" sounding in a satisfying way, they are more laid back but very very clear. I got these headphones to upgrade my audiotechnica's which I was using as my main portable set (when I wasn't just being a dick and walking around with my HD600s with my Fiio Kilamanjaro 2 portable amp letting everyone hear me, I don't know them, who cares! [I kind of care, that's why I got these headphones so I could stop wearing my open-backs around when I needed hifi])
Bass: It's took me a second to get used to the bass, when I first put them on, I thought of all the reviews that complained about the bass being "thin." The bass on the HD600s are much more present, but that doesn't mean the bass here isn't full! I listen to electronic music almost exclusively (I know, I'm a pleb, sorry)
In conclusion, I LOVE THESE! I won't get rid of my HD600s because I don't need to, but I'll definitely be listening to my new Beyerdynamic T70 s for a while!
