I think anyone who has a Clip should plug it in and give it a try. The problem is your mind knows you're plugging it into the Clip so expectation bias comes into play. I made myself aware of that while listening and to me it sounds fine. Of course, I can't think of a situation where I would use the 600's with a Clip. I use earbuds with that.
I've used my HD600 (and now my HD650) with a clip loads of times and think they sound great. They are more than loud enough for me at 3/4 volume (with the EU volume limiter turned off). I was shocked when I first tried it, as I expected it to sound significantly worse than through my amp (at the timke a Matrix M Stage.)
I guess you may run into problems if you need lots of volume or play music with a very wide dynamic range, but it works very well for me.
