I'm a little confused with the decision to purchase the TH-600 (while considering the TH-900), TBH. The TH-900, overall, is the better headphone. Yea, they are both similar in sound signature, so where the TH-900 bests the TH-600, I'm assuming, is in things like resolution, sound stage, etc. So if one is unsure about how they'll react to the TH-900/600 sound signature, why go with the worse headphone? 

If the person doesn't like the sound signature, the person will end up returning whichever headphone they got anyway. But if the person actually ends up liking the sound signature, they'll be stuck with whatever headphone they got - in this case, the worse TH-600. Unless he/she wants to go through the reselling process, which of course is a hassle and ends up taking up time and money. 

I have the decision since I found a good deal like new TH600 in ebay cost about $480. Since the refurbished of th900 is twice the price, im a but scare to invest to something that some of here raise the issue of harsh. I think it's a good start to get use of the fostex sound signature before blindly spending $1000. Yes, it will cost me much money and time if I need to jump to TH900 after liking this th600. But F yeah, at least i will buy TH900 with full of confidence.

It's all about spending money HAHHAA

LOL.., typed on phone. So many typos... =.= Just realize

It's more about making an informed decision rather than just spending money. I put in tons of research before spending, and so far I've not been disappointed by any of the purchases I've made because of the work I did beforehand.

I couldnt decide by only looking at freq res...

Im not good enough for that.. You can see my history. I just have a couple of headphones and two amps including cheap creative.
 
This is a big jump seriously

Yea... but like I said. If you don't like the sound signature of the TH-600/900 line, you'll end up returning either one, regardless of what you get (because they have such similar sound signatures). 
 
So, if you actually do end up liking the TH-600, you're guaranteeing yourself extra cost (due to the reselling of the TH-600) if you do end up getting the TH-900. 
 
But, hey... it's up to you. Looks like you've already made your decision - hope everything works out (I don't mean that sarcastically).

Yeap, i moved on hahaha.

Will audition this, if not satisfy... yea gonna sell it though. But not that early. Since the TH600 i bought is 20 hours of usage.

spend some time with it. the th600 thread should be a useful resource for you now. all the best.

Even though TH600 is "worse", it doesn't mean he wouldn't be totally satisfied with it. I haven't heard the 600's, but many people say that the difference between the two isn't huge.

 Not that I totally disagree with you but keep in mind that the differences between a great headphone and a mediocore one may not be huge either.

Depend on the person, the gears, the circumstances, the experiences...etc....otherwise, how would the manufacturer determine the price point of performance to separate their own products . Anyways, we have people who hear Beats the same as TH-900.....so...all points are valid

 

[up late]

i don't follow your first sentence. the connection between the first and second part of it isn't apparent to me. can you explain what you mean?

 

[Whitigir]

I meant companies wouldn't rely on measurements and technical alone to determine the price points of their products. There gotta be hear able differences, and these differences could be observed by depend on the people gears and experiences, and once you hear it, there won't be such things as "not much differences", but some people really can not tell the differences

It is just like wine. To the untrained tongue, expensive and cheap wine will probably taste the same. The same can be said for headphones for those with inexperienced ears.
