Reply to comment by Titouan_Charles in just a newbie, what do you think? by flores_amarillas

Nailed it! Just save up for the Sennheiser HD 660s2 or HD 800s

Hd600 is objectively better though in terms of tonality

Objective, and tonality in the same sentence ? You okay buddy ?

Tonality in terms of how it sounds compared to neutral. Hd600 has a much smaller scoop than 660s2 thus making it closer to 5128 hrtf. The 660s seems to have a much worse timbre on paper too

You're too caught up in graphs my dude, the 600 is way too narrow and mid focused to be considered neutral. 5128 is a better tool, I agree, but it's still far from the best we can do with human ears

It depends on how much your hrtf differs from 5128 honestly. Measurements on a 43ag do show that hd600 has too much mids compared to 43ag diffuse field but on 5128 diffuse field the hd600 seems to closely match it apart from the 8khz peak that was not visible on the 43ag and the 4.5khz scoop. Meanwhile the 660s2 has some really bad dips. I already eq-ed my 600 to 660s2 and the scoop makes the neutral tonality feel off

My reference is the 800S with a reduced 3400Hz, and another cut @7400 and 9100Hz
