Hey guys.
Currently, I'm running FLAC files through an SRT Music Streamer II, through a Burson Soloist SL, to a Hifiman HE-500.
The sound is very nice and I like it a lot. But I miss the comfort of my previous HD598.
I've seen that the HD600 is on sale for 229$ which is about half of what it would cost to buy it, at the cheapest, locally.
I've been wondering, how would the HD600 compare to my HE-500? Should I save up and wait for a sale on an HD650?
I don't care for the looks. I don't sit and stare at my headphones, I wear them on my head much more than I look at them. So even though the HD600 is ugly, I don't mind.
I mostly listen to prog rock, alot of guitar music, orchestral stuff, along with some R&B and soul music.
I like fast (and by that I think I mean accurate and clear, not muddy) headphones with good detail, I want it to be fun to listen to. I like bass, I enjoy mids and high are important, all are equally important. Can't listen to DT880s for example. Good bass, bad highs.
I like the sound of my HE-500. Do you think I should go for an HD600? Would it be much worse, or would it be great to have? The step up from my HD598 to the HE-500 was HUGE. Is the step up from the 598 to the 600 as big?
Would I enjoy the 600 or the 650 more? Is there even a point (in terms of pure sound, never mind the comfort) to buying another pair of cans?
Thank you so much for the help!
