I recentely bought a HD 598 and HD 650. These are the headphones I have heard on the last days. They are fantastic and sound superb!
I know many people here have multiple headphones for different uses. My question is as of your post what are you using?
I will start.
I'm using my shure srh840. Still my best cans. I'm anticipating tuesday when i receive my shure srh940.
I am using the AKG 240 Sextett (EP version). All three versions of the 240 Sextett are good in their own way- the MP (Middle Production) version has a good balance of popping bass (versus a relatively flat monitoring sound), and the LP version doesn't have much of the great bass of the EP and MP, but does have a natural and flat monitoring sound. So it's obvious that AKG was trying to improve the Sextett with each iteration, and by the last version, it was a much better headphone for its intended purpose, which was professional monitoring in recording studios. They were also used by John Lennon in his studio (not sure which version that was, though), so that's an endorsement. But the earlier models are arguably better for home listening.
I've always wondered how can you visually identify the three sextett models?
