Mshenay you should try a number of different types of music back to back. It's unfair to judge one phone on another phone's merits for a particular genre. What about the HD600 mids? What about the balance between all the frequencies? You don't mention the positives of it. If you listen to the DT880 and HD600 and come to the conclusion that the DT880 does absolutely everything better, I don't think you're giving them an honest listen. Trust me, I'm a former HD600 hater, but that's because I was judging them vs the DT880 solely on the merits of orchestra pieces. There's alot to like about these HD600s when you give them a chance in more genres. You should also time how long it takes for fatigue to set in on both headphones. You might find, like I did, that the HD600s can extend listening sessions, especially with older or lower quality recordings/masters. And yes they do make great compliments, between a DT880 and HD600 (and an SR80i I use for torture sessions) I'm pretty sure I'm set for headphones.
Strange read my last post sir.
I did not in any way compare the HD 600 to my DT 880, my comparisons have been to the HE 4 [which is literally a "super" dt 880] , and what I've been saying is I'm not posting anything conclusive. My final say on the HD 600 will be riddled with Pictures, I'll have like 7 different genres to compare it to and I'll be volume matching the ENTIRE thing
these post are just my muses :3 and I like the HD 600 thus far, its full of Suprises! It's just me posting what I'm thinking as I'm listening, so I can cement my intitial thoughts of it
that and I REALLY want to hear the HD 600 out of the Vali, if you guys saw [a WAYS back] the SE out of the Vali is on par with my NFB10ES2 SE out. I compared the two amps SE out with my W1000x and It was like legit a tie q.q
that said I think the HD 600 will really SHINE out of the Vali [which arrives some time tommorow/today]
But yea, I sent some positives to Brooko, I can fairly say James Hetterfeilds voices has never sounded so good till I got the HD 600 xD [and gawd is his voice kinda meh]
Still Strange, I have no itentions of posting a "hate" review of the HD 600, I've recommend it a few times over the DT 880 to a good number of users, I bought it so that I could have some like legit say so in the battle between the DT 880 and HD 600, and again going back to the HE 4... it's a pain to amp :/ and don't feed any bad music, in terms of owner ship. Just from my initial impressions, I can tell it's an easier headphone to own!
I like legit bought 5 differetn recordings of "Kind of Blue" by Miles Davis :/ I had to have the VERY best one as all my bright cans tore apart the crappy ripps,
I've swtiched over to Kind of Blue for about 10 mins now, and I can say... the different verisions I have sound fairly simmilar out of the HD 600, which is nice as they are the SAME album <.<
my aim is to get SUPER intimate with ALL the positives of the HD 600, identify it's "trade offs" and presents those positives to the community, and more importantly I want to know when I should Recommend the DT 880 or the HD 600, as they are very different headphones. Owned together,they are a treat but if ONLY going to have one they each represent a different... mind set.
