I can relate. After years of chasing the dragon up to and above $1K, I think I've finally decided that the HD6xx/650 is my endgame. I'll keep the 6xx & 660s forever.

Fellow 650 chad Although I just got a k240 sextett (I might make a post about it), and it might be sitting right next to me and my 6xx. It is a phenomenal can

If you like the Sextet you'll probably love the K240 DF. Tuned to diffuse field for use in the German broadcasting industry. I own a pair and they are incredibly natural sounding. I won't say neutral because highs and lows are rolled off, but the overall timbre and balance of FR is great. Plus you can use normal K240 parts if restoration is needed.

You need the HD600 to complete this beautiful collection!

I came super close to buying them when they were on sale for $279 during black Friday. I should have done it....

Haha That's when I got mine! I was going to get the 6xx because everyone said it has better bass, but when I saw the 600 on sale for not much more than the 6xx, I just went for it. I love them.

The bass under 60hz is almost the same on both models, 600 & 650 differ in the upper bass and low mids. For my taste the 650 has annoying resonance in these elevated frequencies ( in-between 70hz & 300hz ).

Thanks! I have other headphones and IEMs that offer good bass (with some other tradeoffs), so I'm pretty happy with the 600s. I don't have anything else that sounds like them, except maybe the Dunu Titan S, in a small way.
