It's a mess at the moment because I'm testing out a lot of new gear. I've been wanting to clean it up all week, buy each time I go to the listening stadion, I end up spending all the time listening to music instead of getting it cleaned up 😁
Next week I'll get it done... 🤣
Enjoy some great music out there 🎶

Wait, all this and still a sign in the background that you are a great husband?!? Impossible. Be honest, she left a long time ago, around the time you were buying the second Holo stack, right? :)

Yes, just got the HD600's, and they have made a great first impression 👍
Definitely prefer them over the HD650, which did disappoint me overall, too much lower mids/upper bass for my taste. The HD600's are more "clean" and if I hook them up to my OTL amp, I get more warmth but to a more tasteful degree, IMO.
So happy with the purchase so far, but will give it a week or so more, before the HD650's will be for sale, just to be sure :)

It's a little funny cause I discovered the 600's the same way. My first Sennheiser was the 650 and I really didn't think they were all that. It was a while ago but I thought they just didn't sound coherent at all. I didn't have a tube amp back then and I've still thought about trying again. I have the lambskin ZMF pads on my 600 now and whenever I want to kick back and listen to some instrumental/acoustic music or vocal heavy tracks, they are head to beat. I still haven't found a better headphone (for the price) when listening to old Coldplay or Chris Isaak type music.

Yeah, they are great, so far, but I still need to put more hours on them to work out completely how I feel about them. I have Dekoni pads, that I did not enjoy on the 650's, but might give them a second chance on the 600's, and see how they fare. :)
