I have been disappointed lately in my HD600 Sennheisers. They sound superb except, to me, no very low end bass at all. I have Sony MDR7506's too. They have the bass, but not the articulation at mid and high freqs that the HD600's do.
I had a Creek OBH11 amp. Got rid of that, and now have a Headroom Supreme amp, which sounds better.
Then I finally "broke in" the HD600's, but playing them for about 100 hours with light jazz music at a loud volume. That helped.
But I am still unhappy about the lack of very low end bass of the HD600's. Now the come close to the 7506's. Also, with complex music, a lot of orchestra and low end bass, the bass that the HD600's have seem to get "lost" somewhere.
I am searching for perfection I know. Why not?
I can still return my Supreme amp for an MG Head tube amp but am not convinced now that it would help.
After more research, I am now looking into Sony MDR7509s or MDRV900s, and Beyer DT770 Pro, DT990 Pro, or perhaps the more expensive Beyer's.
ANY comments on my quest would be appreciated! Especially about the comparison between the Beyers and the HD600's.
Should I dump the HD600s for Beyers? I prefer full range sound to extravagant detail. Classical music for me is not complete unless I hear the low end of the sound.
