Get HD650/HD6XX if you like bass. HD600 have less bass than both model. However, the sound is more netural and cleaner on HD600.

These don't have too much bass, but decent with an amp. These are some of the best headphones for music tho very accurate sound. After this it is so much diminishing returns.
·
These are wonderful headphones but quite light in the low end - in other words, do not expect any significant bass. HD 650 is better, but a closed design is required for good bass punch. Also, they have -zero- ambient noise isolation. It's like being open air. I tried to use them on a flight once and literally heard nothing over the engines.

The classic trifecta
Yes! I picked up the HD580 Precisions back when I was in college and fell in love with Sennheiser's amazing midrange sound signature. They've since recreated many versions of the HD580s including the Jubilee at Drop that many still love.

These 300 ohm cans are harder to drive and will need amps but I have been quite pleased with how my HD6XX and HD580s have sounded straight out of my M1 MacBook Pro's jack. Apple built in a very decent DAC and high impedance amp into their new notebooks.

I've read so much about the HD600s and their absolutely amazing neutral sound that I had to give them a try. Glad that they are now priced so well.

Quote from srikvp :
Planars and dynamic drivers are good at different things. Planars will not have as natural a timbre like dynamic drivers or the slam & impact, but it will be easier to EQ. Unlike HD600, Sundaras should be able to achieve better bass since they extend better.

On the other hand:
HD600 is legendary for its midrange. Sennheiser is also legendary for their great QC. There are people who still use their HD600s after 2 decades or more. Hifiman QC is not as reliable.
I have the Hifiman Ananda (Non Stealth version) and they sound different. They are very "quick" and precise. The Anandas are bright sounding and can cause listening fatigue. Sennheisers have dynamic drivers that tend to sound a bit warmer and have better timbre. They are excellent if you listen to music the has a lot of midrange such as piano music.

Yep. I have the Focal Elex, have heard HD600 and recently bought the Hifiman HE1000 Stealth. Stealth is better, but also brighter.

Thanks for the comprehensive answer. I'm happy with the Sundaras but I'll probably watch for a refurb Sennheiser, if QC is that good.

Incredible headphones for jazz and classical. Very good headphones for rock and rap — but not bass heavy.

I agree with all of the other owners. You'll hear details with these you never knew were there.

How are these for FPS games vs DT 900 PRO X? I recently heard the DT 900 took over these for gaming. Mainly for locating people behind walls etc.

Appreciate all the comments. Not sure why some are being TD'd..

I haven't had a chance to test these for studio use, but I really like the 560Ss I have

Are these worth it to upgrade from the AKG K712 Pros?

How are these for gaming? Is there a better alternative in the $250 price range?
These are ok for gaming once you get used to them, but they aren't exceptional. They're pretty good/great with most music and are good for all around headphones especially at this price. I will say that they are incredibly boring sounding until you listen to them for awhile, I was incredibly disappointed after getting them and was confused why they have such a cult following around the web- I do love them now, but mostly use them just for certain types of music.

If you aren't in a rush and are willing to keep an eye out the ATH-R70x are probably the best gaming headphones (under 300). I picked them up for around $250 towards the end of last year, not sure how inflation will change the price on upcoming deals, they're $350 on amazon right now.
I should note a couple things about the ATs, you will need a separate mic (probably a desk mic as I'm not sure a modmic is compatible-same for the sennheisers). They didn't have 3rd party replacements for earpads (dekoni or brainwaves at least) the last time I checked. They aren't heavy on bass but they have an incredible soundstage, exceptional for competitive games, especially hearing footsteps.

Not to me. I own both.
The Sennheiser HD6XX sound awful to my ears. Dull and boring.
The Sennheiser HD600 sound AMAZING to my ears. Outperforming any other dynamic driver headphone for the price. And, when you connect HD600 to expensive amplifiers and tube amplifiers they can scale to new heights.

Thanks for the detailed response. I don't trust RTING.com when it comes to gaming headphone recommendations; I have no idea what game they're playing or if they even play competitively at all.

As for amp, do you have one you like or recommend to drive the HD600s?
