Headphone Heights

The diffs between the three types of HD6-- headphones are minor ones, IMO.

But, HD650 sounds slightly darker, slower, and bassier than HD600.

HD600 sounds slightly lighter, quicker, and airier than HD650.

And, HD6xx sound lies somewhere in the middle of the other two, but leans more toward HD650 than HD600.

This is what my ears have told me so far. But I could be mistaken because, in truth, all three headphones sound quite similar.

Not doubting what you are hearing 650 v 6XX but by all accounts they are electrically and mechanically the same headphones. Do they both have pads of similar age and compression characteristics?
- Any diffs are slight ones and could be due to production variables. - peppy m. 09:02:28 02/15/22 (0)
  Some have measured slight diffs between 650 and 6XX in frequency response. These diffs might be due to slight variations in production runs, but who knows for sure ?
  
  That said, I'm guessing that a lot of people would not notice such slight diffs (if any actually exist) when listening to actual music.
