HA, Moon Audio... yeah. They love to assign characteristics to their cables like "Silver strands will pull out “lost” middle and high tones for maximum detail".

'"Air-driven vibration function" for some reason I pictured a small fan inside the earcups that blow on you when the bass hits haha

I was also slightly devastated when my 600 came in a boring box

Yes, you're doing things wrong when matching headphones. To properly equalize 612 and hd600 for example you have to take into account that these have a completely different upper treble presentation with different placement of upper treble peaks and it can drastically impact this "resolution" and "soundstage" etc etc. You really have to do this the way OP did, using microphones and measurements to precisely match every single part of the FR or at least bring them as close as possible and even then there's no guarantee that you're gonna have a same FR for both at the eardrum.

So are cheap headphones or IEMs comparable to entry level speakers, or is it the other way around? I feel like I have found my endgame in portable audio and thinking of getting sonus Faber or Wharfedale.

Are you using in-ear mics to measure as well?

It’s really awesome, leave the price the same and provide less, seems fair.

The problem is you don't get any cross feed with headphones, that's why music mixed on headphones can often end up very muddy on a system. The most reliable and translatable sound will come from near-field or mid-field monitors set up properly in a good room.
It's not even monitors that are that much more expensive than good cans, it literally the cost of setting up a proper space to optimize them.

They sound 90% the same. 660s is technically better, but both of their tones are very similar. I’d say the 6XX is better sounding tone wise, but the 660s does everything else better.

How would you describe the difference 660 vs 6xx sound wise?

They sound really really good but I think the 660s is easier to drive and has better imaging for sure. The 6XX has 3 modes, left, right and center.

You also have to have a home that's suitable for speakers too. It's a whole nother level of luxury IMO

I bought my 660s in July last year and I still got mine. Don’t know how recent of a change this is but kind of shitty if you ask me, especially since they’re saving money on packaging and we get the same product.

I never know if people are just lying about these things, I have god-tier ears, or I am doing something incredibly wrong when eqing headphones to match each other. To me the differences are night and day. If I EQ my HD 600 and AKG k612 to the same FR, I can clearly tell the superier soundstage and imaging of the AKG and the resoultion and timbre of the Sennheiser apart. Even when I EQed my DT990 and 880 to match each other I could clearly tell them apart in a blind test. With Amps it gets very difficult to tell them apart while switching between them, but I am imagining differences in longer sessions. I might be hallucinating on that one, or it's true that everything sounds similir when switching quickly between things.

Good speakers are really expensive. But at the same time there are bad speakers too at the same price and even higher.
