Before this deal ends, I've a quick question: Do you think these offer anything that my (admittedly somewhat beat up) Sennheiser HD 595s? I've heard they have a good sound stage, so that sounds pretty nice for video game purposes, but I can't imagine it being that much of an improvement. Still, those Sennheisers have a dented grill on the side and the plastic inside the band cracked (which doesn't really do much except maybe make the fit a little looser), so I am looking to replace them, but not if it's a downgrade.
awi5951Yeah when I posted this originally I wasn’t really considering the HD6XXs because I didn’t have the means to properly drive them, but since then I’ve irresponsibly splurged on a DAC/Amp and will soon be getting a pair of the 6XXs. I both game and listen to music, but I’ve made do with the Sennheisers I’ve had for gaming and I’d rather focus on music quality than gaming sound stage stuff. I’m sure they’ll work just fine for my gaming.
awi5951Music is a toss up IMHO. The 650/6XX has very prominent, almost intoxicating mids. Guitars and vocals are outstanding on that headphone. The bass performance is overall better on the K7XX, hits harder and goes deeper with an overall more detailed low end. The K7XX has more treble energy as well.
