Sennheiser HD 600 vs Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO

The Sennheiser HD 600 and the Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO can both be considered audiophile options but have very different strengths. The Sennheiser have an open-back design. Their passive soundstage is much more open and spacious-seeming, and they have more consistent bass and treble delivery, but their sound lacks a bit of low bass. On the other hand, the Beyerdynamic are closed-back headphones with a more prominent bass range. They have a much more comfortable fit, isolate you from more ambient sound, and leak less audio. As a result, the Sennheiser are a better fit for analytical listening applications, like sound mixing or editing. The Beyerdynamic are great if you value some passive noise isolation and want a bit more rumble in the low end.
