  Finally finished my comparison of HD600 and HD700.
 
http://www.head-fi.org/t/725127/comparison-review-a-tale-of-two-sennheisers-hd600-vs-hd700
 
Surprisingly (for me anyway) the HD700 will be going - and I did genuinely enjoy having it.  The HD600 though just shows why it is such a timeless headphone - still deserving of hi-fi status IMO.

I really enjoyed the reading, a very well written comparison! It seems that I'll be gladly keeping my HD600

I just got myself the HD600 =)
Any suggestions on which amp/dac I should match up to this?
I was thinking of the Magni Modi combo or the Audinst Hud Mx2

 

[desertstrike]

why not the ALO Pan Am?

 

[Ibored]

I'm still very new to this scene so... yea.
Didn't even know there was such a brand until you mentioned.
 
I'm re-listening to Mumford and Sons and Bon Iver on these hd600s, and I never noticed the instruments in the background on my old whatever brand headphones. Feels like a completely different album.  
And this is me totally enjoying it:

Re-listen to everything you have, and you may surprised at all the things that were buried in the background.

That is how you know, an audio upgrade was worth it, when you listen again all the music, you like.
I also enjoy my HD600 very much. I listen to them almost every day

IMO, Audinst MX2 make the HD600 sound laid back. Really not my liking. HD600 is a sweet can. Sometimes managed to beat HD800 in some genre.

What does laid back mean? Sorry, I don't have any other equipment to compare with.
 
But I did get the Audinst MX2 and this is the difference:
I can finally bump up my volume to an comfortable level
there's no "bzzt bzzt' noise in the background when I do max out the PC volume
the music is more "around" my ear than before
and the bass in the music aren't as snappy (is that the right word?)
 
And best part, after a long "discussion" with the sales guy, I got the MX2 at 328SGD which should be around 260USD.
And a free RCA to 3.5mm cable for my cheapo creative speakers.
 
Listening to Ed Sheeren's Afire Love now.
I don't think the grin can get any wider

Less treble energy, usually a "warm" sound signature with non-fatiguing treble and a bump in mids and mid-bass.

I still feel these are best with electric instruments...

I feel these are best with acoustic AND electric instruments.

Very nice and natural sounding with acoustic music.

 

[Syan25]

I do prefer my DT-880 for acoustic instruments...somehow - acoustic instruments sound inflated by the HD600. But that is my own opinion. Totally subjective. I love Jazz, Fusion and Rock on these cans...

 

[ilhamuh]

I have $400 to improve the HD600. What should i buy? a DAC? an AMP? a DAC/AMP combo? or a DAP? Sorry if it's a repost.

 

[Syan25]

DAC/AMP - in my opinion....

 

[ilhamuh]

Syan25 and what would that be?
