The HD 6XX was a super letdown.
I was shocked that the HD 6XX sounded so underwhelming. Pretty much every headphone from $100 up in my arsenal sounds better than these. What a huge disappointment.

liorzeI plugged the HD 6XX into several amplifiers.
.
For solid state amplifiers, I listened with JDS Labs Atom, Monoprice Liquid Spark, Schiit Magni 3, and Ray Samuels Emmeline XP-7.
.
For tube amplifiers, I listened to them though a Little Dot I+ (LT1364 opamp and Sylvania Gold Brand GB-408A tubes).
.
The source for each amp was Emotiva XDA-2 and Schiit Modi 3 DACs.

BeatwolfPlugging them directly into my bum did not improve the sound.

HottysonAt almost half the price, the Beyerdynamic DT-990 sound better.
When comparing them to other headphones, all of the following headphones sounded better than the HD 6xx:
Grado SR325e
Grado SR225e
Grado SR225
Beyerdynamic DT-990 (250-ohm)
Beyerdynamic DT-880 (2003)
Sony MDR-CD780
Cooler Master MH-752
Beyerdynamic DT-770PRO (80-ohm)

oluv"Such people shouldn't write reviews at all." You need to take a bit of your own advice. Your reviews are the most inept on the entire fucking internet...nice production value, though.

exxrI think you are onto something there. I have been listening to Beyerdynamic headphones for almost two decades and Grado headphones for over a decade. My ears have really gotten used to what they do well. I probably should listen to the Sennheiser HD6XX for a few more years or at least a full year before posting my thoughts on them. I do like the build quality so far. I hope I start hearing what everyone else is hearing in the Sennheiser HD6XX. The headphone that I have listen to more than any over my lifetime was the Sennheiser HD280. I recommended it to everyone I know as the best under $100 closed headphone to purchase. However, it's days are past and I no longer enjoy it compared to most of my headphones and I instead replaced it with the Cooler Master MH-751 MH-752. Perhaps my personal preference has changed and found it's comfortable spot amongst Grado and Beyerdynamic.

MonolafSchiit Magni 3 sounds best of my amps with the Sennheiser HD6XX. You can get one for $69 from Schiit B-stock.
