Now I'm really thorn between HD600 or HD650 paired with Aune T1. Both sound promising and both sound great (from what I read)...

I also have a Sennheiser HD600 and loving it!
Sadly within a year I had to return it to Sennheiser because of a problem with the drivers…
 
They've replaced it and now it working swell again.
 
Coming weeks I will receive the EHHA Rev Kit from Cavalli audio to drive them properly
Always wanted to test some good Hybrid kits.

What was the problem with the drivers? Are you sure it wasn't just a hair?

 

[DonZalmrol]

No really a factory fault.
Whenever high tones came into play the drivers made a crackling noise. Which was quite irritating when watching movies

Having owned three pairs of HD650s, two pairs of HD600s and a pair of HD580s, I can tell you the HD650s were clearly worse than the others. I've sold them all. I've held onto my two pairs of HD600s.

Just out of curiosity why would you buy more than one of the same headphone?

Until just recently, I had a HD600 for the home and one for the office.

The HD600's were my first good pair of headphones and I had the same reaction-- "Wow, every single song in existence has at least some level of hissing, buzzes, crackles etc." Haha. You don't realize that until you get decent headphones.

I agree, and I found this incredibly annoying. It is particularly common on tracks highlighting female vocals. I think the producers/engineers actually ADD noise to the start of the track, then drop it when the woman starts singing, in order to make you think "Wow! She has such an amazingly clear voice!" I'm not being paranoid, I'm fairly certain this is a common strategy. With lesser headphones/speakers, it isn't as noticeable, so the technique has the desired effect. With good headphones like the HD600, it becomes too obvious and is annoying.

Yeah, I think gonna get the HD600 too. What you pair with. And why so many headphones?
3 x HD650
2 x HD600
1 x HD580
 
What you do with them? LOL...

 

[devhen]

He probably means he's had them at different times. Lots of people around here sell headphones and end up buying the same one again sometime down the road. And I could see myself owning two HD600's, one for me and one for a friend. My Lake People G109 has two outputs so it would be perfect.

Order placed for HD600 and Aune T1

. Too much poison in Head-Fi... From DT 770 Pro jump till HD600. Oh my... Hopefully this is what I want, I spend too much to regret...

 

[mink42]

Congrats on making the plunge! Daunting at first but once you have them in your paws its sooooooo worth it.

I love my HD800.. but I'm considering going (back) to the HD600 (I had it before moving to the HD800 near the beginning of the year).  The HD800 is practically a perfect phone for me.. but there's just something about the HD600 that keeps "calling me back."  If I "move up" from the HD600 again, it's going to be to an e-stat.
 
Hmmm.. decisions, decisions.

Do you like darker sound? Are you sensitive to treble? If yes, go for HD650, if no, go for HD600.
That, and the price. Me, I just EQ the treble slightly, and I get less bright HD600

What dark sound? I read head-fi terminology but I can't get it.

Sensitive for treble question, I love bright sound and clarity.
 
BTW, how is the finishing for HD600? Is it glossy paint, or they have rubberized finish? I seriously hate rubberized finished.
