My point was simply that it's far easier to apply even the most "rough" EQ, such as tone controls, to the furthest extremes of the FR, which is where they operate. That's why the 880 is an emminently EQable phone, whereas most others with humps and dips in the middle of the range are far less so. It's certainly never going to be a precise operation, but then there are so many abberations in the FR of a typical phone anyway that precision is probably redundant. As you suggest, it's a question of what sounds right, and if a phone sounds right except for an obvious peak in the upper ranges, which a tone control seems to subjectively knock on the head, that's all my imperfect ears require.

I sold my HD600s about a year ago. Bought the HD700. Got tinnitus. Sold the HD700. Bought the HD600 again.

They just keep coming back eh?

I think the 600 is one of the best headphones of all time. Even though I also have the 650, the 600 is the one I reach for most of the time

I started to get into quality audio about 9-10 years ago, (starting with cheaper in-ears, as I was on a much lower budget). Even then my ultimate dream was a HD600, but that time it was just an unreachable dream for me. Half year ago I bought my pair, and have to say, I can not really spend a day without them.

Should I also get the HD600? I've heard it numerous time and each time I heard it, I am kinda amazed by it but never really have the reason to get one.
 
How do you guys think the HD600 is for say, Eagles and Genesis?

It sounds great...believe me....you can't go wrong with the HD600. Question is - which amp are you going to drive it with?

I'll drive it with the HDVA600. I've heard the HD600 with several amps before, but never with this amp. If the HD800 serves as an analytical headphone and the HD650 as a relaxing, rolled-off highs headphone, I'm guessing the HD600 would fit in as the one that would lean more towards mid-centric?

I prefer my hd600 over hd800 for Eagles.

For the eagles, I prefer molten lead poured into my earholes.

  How do HD650 compared to HD600 ?

 
In a nutshell:
HD650 = darker, bassier, warmer - to me, more coloured (still very pleasant though)
HD600 = lighter, more balanced, airier
 
Biggest difference (again just my opinion), HD600 is far more natural sounding.  It's tonality and portrayal of timbre is far more lifelike than any other headphone I've heard.
 
Both have virtually same comfort and build quality.
