I own both the 4XX and the 6XX, as well. Both are great. I agree with a previous post that the 6XX has the superior soundstage, i.e. you hear the music around you rather than in your head. Nevertheless I hear details deep in the soundstage using the 4XX that are not as audible with any other headphone I own.

LongLiveRockThanks for your opinion. By the way, do you mean 4XX gives details more than even 6XX? Is layering better on 4XX, too?

phaysaalNeither does layering well. But frankly, I've never personally owned, let alone heard, headphones with good layering. For me, headphone soundstage relates to how well the sound seems to be coming from outside my head versus between my ears. And in my experience, the 6XX does this better, though the 4XX is still good in this regard. But yes, I hear details, subtle things, like small percussion instruments being tapped in the background, better through the 4XX. It's all still seems to be coming from two bubbles around my ears and not from in front of me, but that's my experience, yours may vary.

LongLiveRockI see... it is enough convincing. Thanks again.
