    If you don't mind me asking, I tried them for a while but the lack of bass impact/body was a no go for me. So I guess bass is not as important for you? I for one could give up soundstage if everything else was to my liking. Curious if it's the same sort of thing.

    I'd say the HD600 are lacking in bass emphasis, but not lacking in bass (unless used with the wrong amp). The right amp with a good power supply will wake their bass right up, both in impact and presence. I used to think their bass was pretty weaksauce until I heard them on the right amp (Mjo2 or MCTH+LPS). TBH there are times when I wouldn't mind a bit more bass quantity, but I'm happy with the control and slam.

    I've heard I was great bang for the buck at 21 years old too. Less feedback these days though. But faster spectral decay...

    A LOT of headphones have come and gone, but HD600 has been there since the beginning. I even gave my HD650 away once I heard 600 on the right amp.
