With a high impedance and only moderately high sensitivity these headphones are fairly difficult to drive. I would only recommend purchasing these headphones if you already have a headphone amplifier or plan to purchase one, your motherboards 3.5mm output or a phone dongle will not be able to drive the hd6xx well at standard listening volumes. If you plan to use eq (equalization) at all this is even more relevant, as the necessary negative preamp to prevent clipping means these headphones will require even more power.
The hd6xx (and the hd 650, which is functionally identical) are widely regarded as baseline audiophile headphones. They are near universally acclaimed for their sound and build quality in their price bracket. The hd6xx are renowned for having exceptionally balanced and detailed mids, and having an overall laid back sound signature that the vast majority of people find pleasant. That being said, the hd6xx has fairly deficient bass and a mildly restrained treble, so those who prefer a more v-shaped sound profile would likely be better served looking elsewhere. The hd6xx have a decent amount of distortion in the bass region at high volumes, so don't be too heavy handed raising the bass through eq. Their soundstage and imaging are also generally considered middling for open backed headphones, though still superior to the majority of closed back headphones. Ultimately, the hd6xx shine when used to listen to well mastered music. While they're certainly highly competent for other purposes, such as gaming, that's not where their main strengths lie. Likewise, if you listen to poorly mastered or compressed music, the hd6xx are rather revealing and you'll likely find those flaws magnified.
The build quality of the hd6xx is very good, they have an excellent reputation for longevity. The cable included with the hd6xx is supposedly somewhat worse than the one included with the hd 650, but I haven't heard any major complaints regarding it. The hd6xx is made in Ireland, and I believe it uses the older slightly different plastic molding than that which is used in the current silent revision of the hd 650. Regardless, the pads, drivers, and entire driver/cup assembly are identical between the hd6xx and hd650, and measurements between the two headphones fall within expected unit to unit variation. Those with larger heads may find the clamping force to be somewhat high, this can easily be rectified by stretching out the headband.
While the hd6xx are no longer the absolute undisputed value kings they used to be due to the advent of several competitive headphones both in a lower price bracket (hifiman 400se @ $109, sennheiser hd 560s @ $130, etc.) and a higher price bracket (hifiman sundara @ $279, hifiman edition xs @$379, etc.) in the past several years, they still remain a compelling value proposition.
