It's not really that, I find them better than the other mid-tier Beyers I tried(DT 880, DT 990, and DT 770), the DT 150 has the problem I have with every Beyer I tried, they become boring and I realized their sound is too uniform and lacking textured compared to Senns and especially AKGs. I'm just not a Beyer person. The HD 600 do have a bit of a rounded sound to them which takes the edge off, it becomes noticeable when the treble kicks in, sort of lush as well, pink candy sound is a good description, it's not really a veil but more of a soft rounding to their sound like you said. Listen to a K712, Q701, and K701 on a powerful system with good synergy, I honestly think they are the best of the classic trio when amped right, they are just so picky. They can sound quite aggressive and intimate to overly laid-back depending on the system, the bass also varies wildly from system to system. I haven't owned headphones that varied in sound from song to song and amp to amp near as much as the K712 or Q701.
I am trying to decide whether I prefer the Q on my Lyr or my O2. Against my intuition, I almost prefer them on the O2 more.
