Well I went back to the store today... Finally got to listen to the HD 600's on a Denon DCD-1650AR.
well yeah I guess you are right. Creed didn't seem like they were jumping out at me it, but everything else sounded great. There was definitely a good thump with the bass which what I wasn't really looking for but for bass details (I was trying to look for it but couldn't really concentrate cuz the saleman was talking to me about thier power plan or something), And that I'm still not sure. the Bass was definilty there, good thumps on the drums, the music seemed "nice & kind". Everything else seemed not really fuller but more... more something... its just had more to it.
I'm not dissapointed cuz its pretty much the best sound my ears have heard so far. but it doesn't capture the "rock" and leaves me wanting just a little more the "rock" attitude. i had asked the salesman if he had grados. he said that he only had the lower line of grados. so... I decided not to try the lower line out... I assumed they were sr60 adn sr 80. Bad mistake?... (besides I was running low on time).
I got to test It out with Celine's new song (I'm Alive)(mp3) < yes I know but GOOD LORD she was amazing on the setup. The music... her voice just pulled me in. She just sings so beautifully. man that was a treat!
One thing I did notice was that my ears were getting kinda hot. Does the pads "breathe" to keep my ears cool. The thing was really comfy and no i didn't experience the vice grip of the HD 600s. Quite comfy and plus I didn't feel the padding touching the edge of my ears unlike the hd 590 they were slightly touching the edge it gets a little annoying.
I kinda like it but I can't really say that until I heard the grados. and yeah the HD 600 did leave me wanting more. Celine was beautiful, Creed was clean. Dissapointed because I practically only got 10-15 minutes with the HD 600 and half the time I was listening out of the right side because the connector wasn't fully connected to the adapter.
But just to clarify the bass thing I just want the same kind of detail one can hear in the highs in the lows. not really boomy bass or something that sounds unnaturally thumpy.

I have a crappy sony boombox got it many years ago ('95?) and i spent 400 bucks on pioneer CD deck, which was stolen. so now i'm looking for better sound which i can't lose.
actually i'm used to KLIPSCH promedia speakers so yeah same thing. the Bass is boomy and not detailed i don't really hear the pluck of a guitar when I unhook all the satelites and just have the sub working. Plus the vocals sound tiny. that's why i'm looking for headphones that will give me better sound.
I'm not too sure about teh v6's I listened to them at Fry's didn't really find them good I'm not sure but I'm going to try it again this sunday.
i would prefer not go low end cuz I know I'd just be getting something else. my idea is just to start high and end high. no waste of money while travelling up the steps to good music. right?
i'm thinking just start with good headphones and work on my source another day. As of now I have no real headphones. I had an Aiwa earbuds that had silicon pads that somewhat help seal in the sound giving me better bass better everything (souned kinda nice until now). But the thing was that they were way to uncomfortable after 30-45 minutes. One of the sides right or left, I forgot which one, was blown so it would rattle.
well i gotta work tomorrow its 1:36 in the morning right now
thanks ppl
