What I don’t understand is why you would want headphones which are so so sensitive to amplifiers?
to me , that is not good design.
I dont want to search high and low to find some amp that perfectly matches my headphones.
just my opinion of course.
Just in case if you think I am pulling your leg:cool.

Just in case if you think I am pulling your leg:
I wonder if the often mentioned scalability of these phone has ever been demonstrated. There is no technical reason for it and practical evidence is very thin on the ground. In the real world the greatest improvements take place on the lower steps of the scale but after that the law of the diminishing returns kicks in. Yet the iphone dongle sounds essentially the same as my separate amp.The point you're missing is regarding the scalability of these HPs. You don't need a great or wonderfully matched amp for them to sound good, but you will be rewarded if you pair the 600/650 w the right amp. They can go from sounding pretty good to god tier.
Adding a tube amp quite possibly changes the sound and you might like the changes, of course. But there is a risk that you are actually adding an effects box in the signal chain instead of helping the headphones to reach their potential.You should try 600 on a OTL amp like bagwell said. I would add tube/SS hybrid is a huge jump in sound quality as well. It makes a big difference. It's not anything you'll understand until you hear it for yourself. And the 600 can be under-driven on SS even good ones. I've heard it on what I'd consider to be pretty powerful SS amps I've owned, such as the CMA Twelve Master, and that just doesn't do the job like my Liquid Platinum. The Liquid Platinum/600 combo is so good it'll make you cry haha. But I didn't understand the difference until i heard it for myself.

I've had a pair of HD 600s for at least 20 years now and there is no evidence whatsoever of peeling.I had heard that the marble finish was prone to peeling, but my set that are about 5 years old (bought used) are in perfect condition. Paid a lot more than 50 euros though, congratulations.
The sound will change again with new pads. I would stick with official Sennheiser for the ear pads, the head pad doesn't matter as much, sound-wise.
Put a "want to buy" ad in Classifieds. I bet a lot of people are willing to sell.Just got them and are now my favorite headphones. The naturality is amazing. So organic.
One question tho… is anywhere I can purchase an official Sennheiser storage box? like the one that came with the 6xx…
