You serious? It sounds perfectly fine right now

Maybe I didn't have them on straight at times and it caused the left channel to sound that way.

Depends on who you ask and what gear they have for it. I had HD650 with a Meier Headfive and Little Dot MKIII, and the warmth of their mids made me sell them. I tried HD600 instead and with the LD MKIII they are much more to my liking.

EDIT: Also, I had the old (black) HD650, and have a very old HD600 atm. No idea how the new versions sound.

No

I tried them for Gaming...and they have a much more accurate stereo imaging.

HD555 had a big soundstage but not accurate imaging as compared to HD600.

damn happy...will try them for movies and with television tonite..


Do they need lots of burn in?

That's a nice big step up from the 555s.
In my opinion they don't need a lot of burn in, but if it's not too inconvenient for you maybe just leave them playing when you're not using them. Until they have about a 100 hours on them at least.
I don't really think it's very important, but I figure why not.

Assuming it had some use throughout the 4-5 months it spent with its previous owner (say, 1 hour daily totaling up to 30 hours per month), it is well burnt in already.

Of course, you can always burn them in further to satiate your inner audiophile.

Cheers!

Ah, that explains it. You can buy guitar picks that go on your fingers like rings.

Those don't work quite as well as one would wish...

Maybe, depends on your personal preferences.

I have the ASL tube amp, which in my opinion is a great match for the HD600's. Also, if you get the chance you may want to try out the Denon 2000 or 5000, you might like those.

Yeah, the HD600s are nice. The evil part is that they get better and better the more money you throw at them in the form of evermore insanely big amps, overkill-level sources, fully symmetrical setups, cables dipped in the tears of virgin elves by the full moon...

They do scale upwards very nicely. If you like to experiment with their signature, they can easily (and reversibly) be tweaked by removing the foam that covers the drivers. Just take off the cushions, the foam is not glued in. Removes "that veil" if you should ever suffer from it.

Now i ve got one more year before i start working for myself..then i can get the recommended $1000 amp. What music do u recommend for them?

They are very amp hungry. Compare them with a stellar beefier amp, and you will see how under powered they are in your set up.
