Probably the best headphones you can buy at $200
if you are looking for an enjoyable headphone. One that is pleasant and pleasing to listen to after a long day at work, just get a pair of these. I have had mine since the end of 2016. I was able to jump into the original drop of the HD6xx. I have bought several other headphones throughout this time and I always ended up with these.
the 6xx lacks quantity in bass, but it does not lack quality. it has enough for genres like Jazz, not enough for other genres though. I am currently powering my 6xx through the Massdrop Liquid Carbon and it just such a beautiful pairing. There is zero fatigue. the liquid carbon adds a bit of umph on the bass too.
these are great headphones for vocals. Male & female
After almost 3 years of buying and selling headphones, these are still sitting on my desk, because I have not found a better value than these anywhere

Would recommend to a friend.

A Top-Notch Experience From Beginning To End!
From the painless ordering process to making sure that the product arrived on time professionally packaged, along with an invoice to the actual product itself - the HD 6XX - Wow! I have been listening to music for over 40 years and have never heard my music like this before. Little nuances that were never heard before come out here. Not like hearing it for the first time, but like hearing a different mix of the same song. Very impressive Drop, please give yourselves a big hand for making these beautiful headphones even more available for all to enjoy!

What are "open back headphones"?
Open backs project sound both towards your ears and out the sides of the earpieces.
This makes the sound feel as if they are coming from further away. Good for replicating the directions of where each vocals and instruments are coming from; like at a concert. Close backs sound as if the music is coming from the centre of your head; you get less "directional" experience but they feel more intimate.
Open backs leak sound so if you are riding on public transport, the people sitting next to you might look at you sideways wonder why you are playing music for everyone around you.
Most high end headphones are open back so don't worry about losing any sound quality from the leakage!
What is the best amp (or amp/dac) to pair with the HD6XX?
They go well with my Modi/Magni Schiit stack

Oh, delicious sound
I could listen to these forever. Such an easy natural sound. So comfortable. $170 plus discounts is a steal

Garbage Quality Cable & Poor Customer Service
These are phenomenal sounding and comfortable headphones with a garbage quality cable. Expect to spend additional money on a new cable. The original one will inevitably fail.
Now that the warranty has expired they no longer consider me a customer and won't provide any support whatsoever - they don't even want to talk to me. I would much rather purchase from a company that actually stands behind their product and doesn't continue to sell something with a known defect while denying basic customer support. I won't be buying anything from Drop again and I'd advise others to stay away.

Best headphones under $200
Some of the critical reviews had me prepared to be disappointed for these on their arrival. Coming from a pair of Sennheiser 598s from 2011 (the drivers finally came loose 14 years later), these are really impressive. In order to get the 598s to where I'd like them, I eq'd the heck out of them with a Loki Mini+ from Schiit. However, the 6XX's really only needed a tiny boost to the bass before I felt they were perfect. The soundstage is larger and more accurate and I've had a blast revisiting my favorite albums and hearing something new I hadn't noticed before. The only two issues I really have with this headphone is that the default cord is short (this can be easily replaced via amazon for 20 or so bucks) and the pressure from the headphones is really overbearing. With my glasses off, it actually feels quite nice, but with my glasses on, I do have to take some breaks, which is why I've dinged this a star.

Sennheiser quality
The HD6XX is very similar to the Sennheiser HD 650 in sound, materials, and construction. I really love the modular nature of the headphone, it being easy to disassemble and reassemble, and parts are readily available should anything get damaged or fail. This gives me confidence in the long term reliability of the product. It has a very technical sound for critical listening, which is great for classical music, but I found it too fatiguing for most rock-like genres I enjoy. I prefer the HD 58X Jubilee over the HD 6XX for my long-term listening pleasure.

Perfect for Daily Use
I'm very happy with these headphones. Honestly, I don't have much to say against them. The only minor drawback is that they take a little while to mold to the shape of my head and are a bit tight for the first few weeks. But like all headphones, it takes a little time and it's not a big deal.Recommends this product? Yes

Natural Midrange
Sennheiser HD6XX are a reference pair of headphones around the $200-$300 price range from a trusted global brand. I do not think they are the "best," sounding personal / portable audio gear in the context of today's market of over-ear headphones and in-ear monitors, but nonetheless they set a standard for natural midrange sound. Deep sub bass rolls off (typical of most open-back dynamic driver headphones), resolution and speed are not S-tier, 300 ohm impedance demands more potent audiophile sources to drive to full potential, and clamp force can be tight for those with larger heads. For the price, build quality and consistency are admirable. The HD6XX are a good beginner's pair of open-back headphones for those who don't need big bass for their daily listening.

Great choice, incredible value.
Build quality is exceptional for what it is. They may not use fancy metals but its very light due to that decision. quality is incredible. I find myself bring the treble out more in a lot of albums. Its a known characteristic of this headphone that the bass is less profound, but don't let that scare you. They sound incredible. Very comfortable as well. I love the clamp force, as well as the ear cups. I've owned a lot of head phones and they ear cup material/design that they use on these is my favorite kind to to see.

Iconic headphones
At this point, the HD 6xx are well known in the audiophile community. Basically a HD 650 at a lower price point, these headphones sound great. They do have the same deficiencies that the HD 600 line is known for, but still excellent headphones.
