I have had entry level headphones like m50x and hd598se in the past. I figured I liked the openness of the 598 so bought the K7xx followed by 6xx. Both were fantastic; k7xx with SS amp and 6xx with my friend's hifi system (Yggy + Black Widow). Sold the K7xx and am planning a bigger system around the 6XX. Bought a 600 though that's similar to the 6XX. Also bought the HE560 for the heck of it.

trybeingarunlol, wish I had the budget to buy several of these for fun and was tempted on the HEs or 6XX but don't want to invest in open backed when I won't be able to fully enjoy them (and bother those always around me).

trybeingarunThere is an extremely small difference, open backs are open backs and leak a ton of sound. Anyone looking for isolation or to prevent (some)sound leakage should explore semi-open or fully closed headphones.
