At least i was aware of this downside. For sub-bass, it's better to stay with a closed back headphone or IEM ( In this price range ).

They aren't even that good. 650/6XX in particular have so many issues, it has decent mids and basically nothing else.
The fact that everyone calls them their endgame tells me that they either don't know any better, or don't care about anything other than timbre and mids. Which you can get them just as good in other headphones after EQ.

FLAC is both a container and the codec... Yes I should've been more specific in that regard but you can store .wav files in a flac container... Same as lossy files being polished as flac files when they're not lossless files

Nah, they are flawed, even after EQ.
HD600 is about the closest, but your can do so much better than the 650/6XX. They have so many problems with their sound.
Sundara with EQ is a much closer "one and done" purchase.

What headphone preamps are you plugged into there? I have really been considering buying one for better listening with my headphones until I can get a better pair. I think you have sold me on these as the next purchase after that.

Sigh. Got my hopes up there for a new high end set.

Its because its so easy to go to any tech store and buy sennheisers instead of having to either go long ways to a specialized audio store or buy online

Except there is no real sub-bass. That would be my biggest problem with the 600, and was my biggest complaint about the 650.
Otherwise they are pretty great.

I'm skeptical that these will be able to produce any lower frequencies. Otherwise it is a cool idea.

Is this sub sponsored by Sennheiser? This is like the millionth post about HD6X0-series and frankly it's getting a bit too much. I'm sure I will get downvoted by all the Sennheiser fanboys, but I don't mind that. I get why people like those cans but there are so many other headphones out there that are equally good if not better.

I will receive my Luxury Precision W2-131 as an upgrade, next week. I'm not looking for an upgrade, this was actually a downgrade. Newborn soon 😍

I have the 770s and they have next to zero soundstage. They sound extremely closed in and I can't tell how far away sounds are, at all. I had the 900 pro X for a week and returned them. They didn't have the detail I'm looking for and they were uncomfortable and hurt my ears. The clamp force was also ridiculously strong and gave me headaches. So far the 560S are perfect. Amazing soundstage, imaging, and detail. Also comfortable to my liking.

Next step chord mojo 2 and more expensive cans?
Had been rocking the hd600s up until recently. Got some money back on taxes and decided to splurge on some LCD-Xs. While they are better in most ways (and especially for EDM and house) they are not close to 5 times better. I’d say 15-20% better for everything except EDM or house. You got your eyes on an upgrade yet? 😏

Depending on how far you are in your journey, after 20 years in this hobby i still roll gear. But the hd600 is so soft, clear, and calm, it checks those criteria of my want list. (I don't like the elevated upper bass/low mids on the hd650)

I came super close to buying them when they were on sale for $279 during black Friday. I should have done it....
