I ended up using the HRM-6 a lot more at home than any other headphone simply because it is so comfortable. Compared to the similarly priced M50X from audio-technica it is smoother sounding with less harsh upper mids and treble. It is not dark, just slightly rolled off up top. From bass to mids the vocals remain clear. The bass itself sounds "big" it is not overwhelming or too much at all, but rather enveloping. The drivers are angled and this headphone has a large soundstage for a closed headphone in my opinion.
The only fault I can find is that the layering and imaging is not the best. The HRM-6 likes to present music as a coherent whole, it is not as sharp to pinpoint every instrument in the mix.
For a studio can it is a fun toe tapper, staying faithful enough to the source.
