I think Blutarsky is selling his HD600 for a good price. I told him I'd loan him a nice 4-pin XLR cable for his ZDT and he'd change his mind real fast (he also should get new pads).

Are you Blutarsky's official spokesman?

Mid-Fi FTW.

I have recently been mulling a truly high-end IEM design consisting in the main of twin angelic choirs dancing upon the heads of dual platinum pins. I believe this to be both psycho-acoustically and theologically sound.

The ugly splatter paint?

I actually liked that paint job on the HD600 that I owned. The headphone looked practically untouched from the previous owner without a scratch on it, and the glossy coat really looked good in certain lighting.

Actually, I am going to say that if you do not really like the 650 you probably should look elsewhere than the 600.

This is actually the closest to what advice I would give, were I serious. They really are very close. Though there are scores of people who like one and not the other, so they must be very close to the line.

The Line == that threshold of quality/fidelity/musicality/value/whathaveyou/whatnot/whatever below which we care not to go.

I think you should. I mean, if you don't like them, someone would gladly take them off your hands for more or less the same price you paid for them.

Oh yeah, they might sound good too.

I haven't spent much time with the HD600 and now that I've sold the HD800, the 650 sounds a bit boomy. Granted, it is headphiled, but I suspect it would still sound boomy if I were to replace the grills.

Any thoughts re the 600? I haven't spent much time with it. And what would be a good price used?

I had my HD600 for over 2 yrs before selling it in favor of HD650. IMO HD650 has a more engaging and transparent midrange (you can probably tell I am big on midrange performance), which was, at the time, enough for me to give up HD600. Both are non-offending. HD600 is probably just a had quicker at the extremes. Although the latest HD650 revision probably makes that a moot point.

I have a pair of 600's (with 580 grills, 600 grills sound better imo) I dont use that I can bring to the NY meet.

I also thought HD600 > HD650. Of course I like the K701 so that makes me a loony.

Just out of curiosity, have ppl here compared the new versions of both headphones?

I assume there are 2 versions out there, unless you tell me I am wrong.

Three versions.

Actually there are 8 versions, 2^3

Each one is a different version apparently.

what you really wanted to say was 6 since 8 makes no sense at all.

n items with m versions = n*m , and not n^m

You badly need to recalibrate your jocularity detector.

Or this?

It depends on what your definition of "version" is.

driver version

Based on my limited knowledge, there are black-cloth and white-cloth versions for both headphones. I don't remember people mentioning any other version.

Jocularity, Jocularity!

I want to know how is 2^3 = 8 not correct?

Yep, what he said plus:
