Reply to comment by capNsgt in HD600 = absolute Endgame by xGuacamolly

The 600 has less upper bass and low mid energy, which is what i prefer. Both are very similar, just tweaking.

I really like the sound overall of the HD650, just wish it had a little more low end. But for a flat sound it is very good. Does the 600 also require a strong amp? I tried many amps with the 650 and the cheapest I could find that had enough power was a Schiit stack Magni/modi

It also has a 300ohm driver. HD600 is more neutral, clear, open and forward sounding. For the low end i use IEMs primarily, being closed helps a lot for the sub-bass.

You can run it no problem with a Topping DX1 lol, with 40-50% headroom to spare at good volume

I tried many amps and none where enough power to drive them with good volume when I wanted. That topping tops out at 51 mW at 300 ohms while the Magni puts out 410 mW at the same ohm. Huge difference in power. In fact, the Magni puts out more power at 600 ohms reaching 215 mW.
