The HD 6XX comes across as a classic open back headphone with a sound that lands close to the HD 650 and is especially strong for vocals. It is praised as a rare new deal at this price, with long term durability, easy pad and cord replacement, and a reputation for lasting for years. The main catch is power, since the high impedance makes an amp or capable dongle important, and the clamp can feel tight at first. A solid pick if you want the 650 style sound and can drive it properly.
listeners who already own (or plan to buy) an amp for higher-impedance headphones because multiple commenters say the HD6XX "have higher impedance so they need an amp," and one notes they're kept for vocals specifically with an amp.
audio hobbyists who want a classic open-back upgrade at a rare sub-$150 price because commenters say they "rarely see them new at this price point" and that they're a great buy at this cost.
people considering moving from HD599 to HD6XX because one commenter said it's "not a huge price increase" from a prior $99.95 HD599 deal and they were weighing the switch.
buyers who want long-term durability and easy maintenance because one commenter says they bought HD6XX about 10 years ago and it's still going strong, with modular pad/cord replacements.
people who are okay adding a dongle and balanced cables to drive them properly because commenters say it's "unlikely to drive the HD6xx properly with a phone or Apple headphone dongle," and that a Hidizs S9 Pro dongle plus balanced cables drove them well (at added cost).
people who plan to run them straight from a phone or Apple headphone dongle because commenters say you'll be "unlikely to drive the HD6xx properly" that way and that they needed a dedicated dongle plus balanced cables to get them to work well.
buyers who don't use an amp and expect a big step up from other headphones because one commenter returned the HD6XX and said they "don't notice much difference" versus their Philips while also not using an amp.
people who are sensitive to tight clamping force because one commenter said the clamping force "never loosened" for them and that stretching it made it "slowly become too much clamping force."

Wondering if I should switch to these, not a huge price increase.

HD 598 for life as the most comfortable headphones. If mine ever die I don't know what I'll do.
