Charly13579I dont have the 6XX, but I do own the K7XX and 990 Pros. 990s and K7XX differ in terms of sound quality in which the former features a more V-shaped, massive bass, and slightly bright sound signature. Highs are one step away from being sibilant. the latter features a more smooth, balanced tone with a little elevation in the bass section, but not by much. pretty OK for hip hop or edm if u prefer listening to those in open cans. Bass is better in 990s than K7XX. In terms of Sound Stage the 990s offer an airy, wide and expansive sound stage, due to the high treble section. In one word, i would describe em as shimmery. The K7XX has less soundstage, but still nice for open cans. I would say the staging in K7XX to be more intimate and a tad bit more realistic. Comfort wise the K7XX wins here; lower clamp, memory foam pads, and bigger opening makes for a more relaxed fit. The 990 pros is tighter, but the foam pads although not memory foam are still very soft. This version (990 All Black) is similar to 990 premium, so it has less clamp than 990 pros. Hope this helps!

Raider275thank u for ur opinion on both headphones. Like many others u share the same opinion when it comes to the sound of each heaphone. It is still a hard decision. I am scared, that if I order the K7xx, that they might be not good enough for me and I am not sure how the return and refund system on massdrop works (if there is one). But I will propably go with the 990s Premium.
And one last question. If u game a lot, which of them do u prefer more?

Charly13579I dont wanna confuse u more, but tbh when deciding which to buy, a little gambling is involved. The K7XX, if you have the proper amp and if you are patient for the burn in to complete, is a solid choice. It tends to be picky on which amp it 'likes'. The 990s on the other hand could pierce ur ears due to the treble, and u might not like several of ur music anymore bcos of that.. but it is safer in terms of amplification and burn in doesnt take long... For gaming, I prefer the 990s for the soundstage. Comfort is better in K7XX but I have the Pros so clamp might be tighter on mine than the one on this drop
