In Reply to: RE: Is it worth repairing my HD600s? posted by RJeff on December 09, 2013 at 15:45:09
No, they're still up there near the best, and they are user repairable, just order the right parts. I get parts for my HD580s and repair them myself. (Many parts are interchangeable between the 580 and 600.) I replace cushions every couple years. You can find video reapir guides on Youtube. Any item that you actually wear will wear out, just like a pair of sneakers.There's a lot of slick-looking new phones out there (Beats, etc.), and most of them stink sonically. They are fashion statements that try to be audiophile headphones. Personally, I don't like sticking things in my ears. One other note is that different headphones match better with some headphone amps than others. Some require a decent amp (and source material) to sound good. Others are more forgiving.
You CAN get ones that you may like a little better than the HD600s, but they ain't cheap (a lot more than $169). Lots of reviews of these on headfi.org, etc. For my money, the best ones still come from Audeze, Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic, AKG, etc.
Also, in a headphone, comfort becomes almost as important as sound quality, and that varies widely between brands. Personal preference in sound, fit, and style is even more important in a headphone than in other audio components.

There are several on headfi.org that have owned a vast array of high end headphones. But they always come back to the Senn 580/600. I would say they are definitely worth keeping and fixing..
Main system- Rotel RCD950, Rotel RC1070, Rotel RB981, Magnepan 10QR, Martin Logan Dynamo sub
Headphone system- Little Dot MKIII, Sennhesier HD 580,
Cambridge Audio 640P phono, Technics SL1210 MK2, Denon DL160

Include me in. Had some others but for my music I come back to first love hd580 and am looking to acquire hd600. If you have an amp and don't need to block outside sound they are an all around winner. There's a reason they've been in production so long, simply most natural tonality for the long run. Do not underestimate importance of comfort as well. There's phones to flirt, date and then some to marry.
