Drop HD6XX Headphones

I paid $200 for mine back when they first came out. I pounced on it because it was such a bargain compared to $500 for the HD650. Even if it did come in a plain black box. So $195 is a very good deal indeed.

There aren't a whole lot of comparable products out there in that price range. Once in awhile you do see DT-880s for less, and those are fine headphones, but I prefer the relative linearity of a true open-back design.

Be forewarned, however: these are high-impedance headphones.

They aren't particularly "accurate", but they sound very smooth and pleasant. I wouldn't trust them for mixing or mastering, but they're great for pleasure listening in the dark. They are my final QA for every mix.

I wasn't super impressed with them on first listen, but after adding a headphone amplifier to my nightstand sound system they really came to life. They sound even better in my studio, where I have a fancier headphone amp. Just don't expect your phone to be able to push them adequately, or even necessarily your audio interface's headphone outs.
