    Total noob to the audiophile headphone world. What else do I need to take advantage of these? A separate amplifier?

    Id be listening to vinyl through a receiver the majority of the time.

    Current headphones are Sennheiser momentum 4 and pixel bud pros

      If your receiver has a headphone jack, you’re probably good to go!

      The HD 6XX is very efficient, high sensitivity.

      If you can’t shatter your ears, get a headphone amp.

    I don’t even have these but from all the discussion and seemingly high praise, this seems like such a steal for these. And only $150 for the HD58x … I wish more of my friends would get stuff like this instead of paying more for what I (and probably many) think are inferior.

    Thanks! Was waiting for a good price to replace my HD650s which are pretty much on its last legs after 10+ years.

    I tried the 58x and was meh on it. It’s fine but doesn’t give me any wow feeling at any time. How’s the 6xx by comparison

    This is the best price you’ll find on these. If you’re waiting for the deal, this is it.

      I own the 560S and HD600 which is similar to 6XX and I haven’t used my 560S in months. The 600 is much more smooth and enjoyable sounding whereas the 560S is thin and a bit boring in comparison. It is well worth the upgrade in my opinion.

    New to the headphone game. I have a HD600 that was modded with HD660S drivers and dekoni lambskin pads, which supposedly evened out the sound signature. Would this be a side-grade more than anything?

    How do they compare to the HD650? My brother has those and I prefer my HD598. Not sure if these would be an upgrade.
