Whatever my mood swing towards, really!
Mark Knofler, Iron Maiden, Simply Red, Barry White, Stevie Wonder...you name it. I'm never disappointed by what I hear from my HD600!

I've been particularly enjoying Dave Brubeck and his quintessential album Time Out. The drum kit on Take Five sounds just astonishingly real! It's timbre and impact are incredible, and sense of space shockingly realistic and convincing

Big fan of Brubeck...you should give Bill Evans a whirl and all these various jazz collabs. Especially the Stan Getz / Joao Gilberto collab.
A personal fave of mine. Astrud, Gilberto's wife is soooo beautiful on the album.

Ah, yes! Timeless classic, that one
And I totally agree, the drums in Take Five are superbly reproduced I also really like the soundstage in the whole album, it sounds very immersive to me

Yes - with extraordinary work by producer Teo Macero (better known as Miles Davis' long time producer).

Last night started with a bit of Jazz myself: Stan Getz and the Oscar Peterson Trio. Like being there
Followed by Mcdonald & Giles a proggy taste of the Seventies!

I haven't heard anything in my collection that doesn't sound right on 600s

I just started going through my Depeche Mode albums. The 80's are my favorite decade for music

Everything that comes out of the HD600 is impressive, but I keep getting shocked by how accurate the bass response on them is. More than even the mids or treble, it's realism keeps surprising me song after song. Can't say that I thought I would enjoy the bass so much, considering it seems like most prefer the bassier HD650

Whatever fits the moment. I've been listening to a lot of ELO lately (I've discovered that it's great workout music), as well as shuffling through my mondo 300+ song playlist of 90s music I grew up hearing on the radio (which I spent a good part of last year slowly building up from dollar bin secondhand shop finds). Apart from that, stuff as diverse as Bach, deadmau5 and Elton John has come up in the past few weeks. That's one of the great advantages of listening with an all-rounder: switching genres instantly doesn't immediately take it off its game.

Bunch of random electronic pieces. Ex Makina and a couple of chill tracks by Hyume.

I also love how "fast" the HD600 seem to be. I admit that I can't say I understand what people mean when a headphone is either fast or slow, at least my ears never seemed to pick it out. I think that's changed with these; there's a sense of rhythm and dynamism that I haven't heard on other headphones. I'm assuming it's this "speed" I hear people talking about. Maybe, or maybe it's something else. If anyone knows better please correct me. Sometimes it's hard to correlate what I hear with the way audiophiles describe sound sometimes

Fast usually means how quick a driver is literally.

This has a lot to do with textures, try to compare HD600 with a really slow headphone and you'll see what that means.

A quick headphone will reveal textures very well, while a slow headphone won't and might make everything feel more liquid.

I think I need to A/B some of my headphones. I don't do tons of critical listening, only usually when I get a new pair of cans or a new album.
