HD 600

The HD 600 is one of the most comfortable headphones they own, while the HD 800's clamp is too loose for their head; comfort depends on the individual head.

Out of an HD 600, HD 620S, HD 560S and Edition XS, would keep the HD 600: reached for 90% of the time for comfort and sound across music, movies and gaming.

“I would keep the HD600 without question. They are what I reach for 90% of the time due to comfort and sound. Music, Movies, Gaming, for me the HD600 does it the best out of my collection”

After a couple of years with the HD 600 they won't listen without parametric EQ, which makes it near perfect for them and close to their planars, though the bass isn't planar-perfect; the stock cable is poor.

Finally bought their dream HD 600 after many budget IEMs and headphones: well-presented mids, smooth detailed non-fatiguing highs and the cleanest bass they've heard, with enough room despite a narrower stage than the K712; the end of their search.

“These have been the best set of cans I've ever put on my head and I'm so glad because these are exactly what I've been trying to achieve with EQ for all the headphones I've owned.”

Bought the HD 600 when it dropped to about $180 and, despite a big collection, it is now their daily driver: so good and smooth.

Listens to the HD 600 on a new FiiO class A amp and warm DAC: vocals are easy and natural, and although their IEM setup is punchier and more detailed, they keep reaching for the HD 600 because it sounds so natural.

“Vocals are very easy to listen to. It’s weird - my cayin ru9 / FiiO QX13 and Crinear reference are without doubt more punchy and detailed but I keep wanting to listen to my cans instead”
