Are HD6xx's truly end game cans? (alien.top)
 

New owner of the HD6xx's here - I've seen a lot of comments around this sub saying "stop here" before you condemn yourself to an endless rabbit hole of cans.

Should I take this advice and stop at these? Are there any audiophile headphones that are truly worth an upgrade?

Does an AMP/DAC have much influence over the sound of headphones? (alien.top)
 

I'm currently listening to my HD6XX's with my Olympus 2 FIIO DAC and was wondering if I were to change it, would it impact the sound quality much? Or is volume the only real difference?

So so tempting… I just bought some 6xx’s though. Maybe in a few years time in c/headphones@hi-fi.community

I quite like bright headphones, but I agree. It’s not so good having cans that hurt your ears

You guys weren’t kidding… there are pretty great in c/headphones@hi-fi.community

Wow this was quite detailed. I would have loved to grab a pair of 660S2 because their sound signature sounds awesome, but I just couldn’t pass up on the 6xx’s value. Maybe in the future I’ll get a pair

This seems like a pretty sweet deal. I’ve read only a little on these cans and the impression is that these are pretty fantastic. Do these have a specific purpose? Are they critical listening headphones? I’d like to learn more about them.

I just got these delivered today after waiting patiently for 2 weeks. First of all these are some sexy looking cans... Secondly, these are truly an enjoyable listen. Coming from the 990 DT’s, these are pretty refreshing. They’re also very very comfortable, but I am aware that the pads wear out after about a year so I’ll have to grab another pair. But overall, probably the best $350 I’ve ever spent.
