    I got an hd6xx a few months ago since the headphones I’ve had for over a decade finally broke. They were definitely an upgrade and there are some differences with hifi headphones but nothing massive. I’m glad I didn’t go for the super high end part of the market.

      I have Sennheiser hd600. They are mindblowingly and I’ll never upgrade from them (may need to fix them a few times since the build quality is shoddy). I had to mess with the eq quite a lot to get them to sound perfect though. You can use auto eq, but everyone hears things slightly differently so I do it by ear until I like how it sounds.

      I will say that koss ksc75 headphones (with some help from an EQ) can get 70% of the quality of the hd600 and it’s like 20$.

        Question about open ear headphones, how bad is sound leakage? I wouldn’t blast music with headphones on in the office but is even moderate listening volumes pretty noticeable?
