Hi! Just wondering what’s the general consensus on Marble vs. Updated design versions of Sennheiser HD 600?

I’m asking this because I noticed that a lot of people prefer Marble one over the new revision.

Is there any audible difference in the sound? Did anyone measure both headphones with the new set of pads on the same measurement rig?

    Fostex T50RP* since they typically go for $170 now. Can sometimes be found for around $90-$130.

    *They definitely need mods to sound good, so that’s about $5-$30 depending where you source your modding material. Then another $10-$80 for the ear pads. And another $100-$200 for an amp/DAC since they actually require one, especially after the mods.

    If done correctly, they can have a similar midrange conpared to the 6x0 line with actual subbass, extended treble, more soundstage, instrument separation, and better imaging.
