What the actual ****.
My first pair, which broke when I tried removing the earpads, and I send back. I was pretty happy with the sound quality, and the comfort was ******* kickass. And build quality seemed nice. They where the Gibson pair. I did however not understand HOW anyone could call those balanced?? They where definitely not neutral at all. And the bass was very muddy in alot of songs. :S Sound quality was only okay, actually worse then my HD 555's in most songs, but I think it was the mid's that was really bad on them. Some songs just sounded god awful because of this. Either mids or highs, I'm not the biggest audiophile, but neutral. No way.
I ordered from another place. This is the Woox version. Jesus what a difference. In well, most things. They are very sadly nowhre near as comfortable as the Gibson pair I had, those had huge pads, that was just awesome on the head, couldn't feel a thing, and they where even brand new!! With these, I can def feel them on my head. The pads are of another material and MUCh more stiff.
But I can feel it's not too bad. Something that will loosen up I'm sure.
But to the most important bit. These sound AMAZING? What the actual screw?? This is NOT the same headphones as the others. Now I understand why they pricedropped so huge. This sound is just amazing. The other songs I tried on the other pair that sounded like crap, sound ******* awesome on these. MUCH more balanced, but still with that punchy bass. And not muddy at all.
One big gripe though, I get ALOT of jitter, which I did not get from the others. :O Makes me ******* scared. I ordered from Amazon a dac/amp. "

I just saw the HD 600's are really cheap atm, anyone know why this is? Do they also have some issues atm, and what are the sound like on the Hd 600's? I'm a bit put off by Sennheiser, since both my Hd 555's have cracked at the same place. But everyone seems to love the 600's. What is the signature of those?
TL;DR: HUGE difference in sound quality, and comfort between Gibson and Woox pair. They can't even be considered same pair of headphones imo. Gibson win in comfort, Woox in sound quality.
