Although people think Sennheisers are very good with consistancy, there will be slight driver frequency response variations I've experienced it with 3 HD600s. Couple of them sounded brighter than I prefer, and one sounded just right. When it comes to purposeful changes by Sennheiser that effects the sound, at one point they changed the foam material inside the pads that changed the thickness to change the sound, but I believe there will be some slight variations to the frequency response like all transducers having some degree of variability depending on QC quality. They will not be identical to each other, which is important to understand about production of transducers.I just read about 30 pages of this topic to see if I found a convincing answer to my question but unfortunately I still haven't found it . Can anyone help me?
Comparing de HD-600 (old version) with the HD-600 (2019), do they sound the same despite the different look?
I saw a lot of people saying "yes" and on the official website they tell "yes only the look is different, not anymore".
But unfortunately I didn't see any side-by-side comparison of the two or any comparative graphical measurement.
Has anyone here seen any analytical comparison about possible differences in sound?
*If you have seen it, please share the link if possible
If we ignore the low-end, and look at response differences of 650, 600, and 660S, we can see on the responses, that differences are slight, but audible. It would similarly be the case between two different 600s to differing degrees, but you cannnot control this. It's the luck of the draw.
Appologies if I've caused driver nervosa.
