Okay, everything arrived today and I really love the sound of these headphones combined with this amp + dac! The soundstage is very nice, I feel like I'm sitting a couple rows back on some songs instead of being right in front but I like that better anyways . The bass is a bit lacking for my taste but I would consider myself a basshead, nonetheless it's still pretty good. The mids are very nice and forward but I have two complaints so far. The treble can be I don't know what to call it but I would say too high pitched or screechy sometimes at least to my ears. And the clamp is very strong at least right out of the box but everyone says the initial clamp force is really strong but gets better over time so I was expecting it. I have used the Fidelio X1, ATH-M50S, ATH-M50X, and HD650's before getting these and the HD600's are definitely my favorite out of the bunch! People say the X1's have a wider soundstage than the HD6xx's but to me it doesn't compare the HD600's kill them, maybe it's because I didn't use an amp on the X1's though.
Another note, I plugged the HD600's straight into my iPhone 6 Plus without amping it or anything and they get to a comfortable listening level at about 75% volume and don't sound too terrible. Is this odd because what I have heard 300 ohm or anything of above like 100 ohm headphones straight into an iPhone or something like it everyone says they don't power it enough even at full volume and sound terrible?
