I though about how the HD600 is loved by everyone, but often in subjective hobbies there is a counter that does the opposite. I thought anout it but no extremely wide, closed back, V-shaped came to my mind.

    Grados. Not neutral, not objective, out-of-head staging, moddable, not durable, not popular, not corporate, made in a brownstone basement and will never be loved by everyone. Suffice to say, many of the influencers who hail the HD600 as the “perfect” headphone hate Grados and even scoff at their mere existence. I’ve even heard “not real headphones”, “causes hearing loss”, and (from a major YouTuber) “only a starting kit”. The entire concept of a Grado is the polar opposite of everything the HD600 tried to achieve.
