Only thing remotely holding these beautiful headphones back is the high impedance, but pair them with a amp to power through it (I'm using the Bottlehead Crack) and a cheap DAC to remove the noise floor (FiiO D3 for its optical cable

I've listened to the HD600s on a Beyerdynamic A1 amp, a Bottlehead Crack (without the Speedball upgrade), and my Woo Audio WA3.

A friend lent me his extremely tweaked Bottlehead Crack AND his HD-600s, since the Crack will not drive my planars well.

Pairing it with a bottlehead crack and really excited about the setup.

I have around 7 pair of professional/audiophile headphones and these are as good as it get's in my opinion

i really wanted a very nice pair of headphones for checking my mixes on as well as for listening to music on without throwing off my ears

In short: These are as good as it gets -IF- if your reason for wanting headphones doesn't include recording

I use these in my home studio for late-night composing and mixing, as well as for pure enjoyment.

These headphones handle it all as well as you can imagine, and will expose items in your favorite songs you had never heard before.

Not to mention their open-back design and 300 ohms of impedance mean you shouldn't be using them while traveling, though this doesn't bother me as I use the at home

Although there has not been sufficient time for burn-in the phones are superbly accurate (especially in the midrange: vocals, woodwinds, etc.) as well as in the wonderfully detailed highs (in an odd turn of events I happened to find that the HD 600 was not much less in the highs than my Koss electrostatics)

The most detailed dynamic cans (i.e., the HD800) have only a mild treble bump (albeit marred by an unfortunate 6K peak)

I listen to various Death Metal sub-genres (melodic, progressive, technical, etc.) as well as K-Pop and J-Pop, all losslessly
