I agree with you.

They got it right a long time ago. Back when headphones were designed by geeky German engineers as audio tools for audio geeks instead of mass-market fashion statements.

I have two old HD580 (virtually the same as HD600) and they surpass others that I later tried.

I took mine to the THE show in Irvine this year and still preferred it to the few others there. The HD700 was definitely different and open, but not clear if it was superior. There was some Oppo which was obviously substantially less refined in about a 5 second comparison listen. (I use classical as it has an absolute reference timbre).

I believe I sent in one HD580 to Sennheiser service a few years ago and they did a flat-rate refurbishment. Was maybe $100? Came back all nice and essentially perfect. I'm using it now as I type.
