Title kind of explains it. My HD6XX sound incredible but the sound goes all over when I really turn it up. What does the community recommend for this situation? I'm driving them with a modi/magni stack if that helps. Thanks y'all.

I'd recommend iems (closedbacks at this price point are hopeless) for when you have to be considerate - they're not gonna be quite the same, but its your best option - then use the hd6xxs when you dont have to be :D

Although i'd say maybe listen softer - hd6xx shouldnt leak enough sound to be a big problem at sane listening volumes

I was going to say, at my listening level, my 6XXs are inaudible from over a foot away.

maybe in a quiet room, but the sound of HVAC running is louder.
