Yeah it's very similar to the Sennheiser sound, I would say the main difference would be the treble presentation was a little different, has a hint of the AT flavor but without the brightness. They are hit of miss, but if the earcups work for you they are one of the most comfortable headphones ever imho.
Never had the chance to hear the Sony MDR-F1, I did have a Sony MDR-MA900, it was quite comfortable but not as much as the R70x to me. I didn't like the MA900 sound though, it was so grainy to my ears which sucks because without the grain it would've been such a nice headphone. Sony is weird though, they are all over the place in terms of sound quality, tuning, designs, etc. Do want to try the recent MV1 and see where that thing sits comfort wise.
That is true about some HD 6xx series headphone sounding better with more clamp and some with less clamp. To me I think the HD 600 for instance sounds better with loosened clamp but also flatter pads.
One thing that puzzles me with the 6 series, is how they don't sound as open as they look. They're intimate, and open sounding yes... but they don't sound as open as at the Audio Technica AD1000x for example.
Ofc, the Ad1kX doesn't sound as balanced/natural as the 660S2 for example.
The F1 is so OPEN, it's actually insane. Good for like browsing internet/Youtube etc.
It does something a 6 series cannot do. It's so open and leaks so much the sounds blend in a very unusual way (like the channels bleed into each other)
Also, there is no seperation from reality and the music , similar to AKG k1000. Hard to explain unless you have heard them.
