DRGbossdepends ,,, HD 6xx is a better headphone, but if you're just starting the HD 58x is a good starting point.

DRGboss50$ is nothing if your goal is to get the real deal. I would suggest the 6xx over the 58x if you plan to use it with a headphone amp (desktop or portable DAC/amp). If however you plan to use it mostly on the go with a portable unit, then you may sacrifice a bit of bass and general sound smoothness for a more efficient headphone with lower impedance for better portable output. Obviously I haven’t heard the 58x yet, but it’s still a Sennheiser 6 series headphone, with less bass, more treble and slightly better efficiency (db/mw or V). Listening tastes may also vary from one person to another and you may prefer one or the other. I know that I much prefer my 6xx over my 600s so I am pretty sure that I would prefer my 6xx over the 58x. But over the sound caracteristics, the portable usage advantage is also worth considering.
