Pros

  • 580/600/650 have timbre presentation that competes with headphones way above it's price bracket.
  • 580/600/650 are the most natural sounding headphones due to well tuned treble and mids.
  • Narrow stage makes for more intimate experience, especially with vocals.
  • Will scale a lot with better source gear (DAC + Amp)
  • Comfortable af, can wear for hours after breaking them in.
  • The value at this price point for the 600/6XX is worth it over 560s or any equivalent planar (cough* Sundara cough*)

Cons

  • Lacking in bass-extension.
  • Sense of separation is not the greatest, and imaging can be blurry.
  • Lacking that stage by default unless you use different sources.
  • Will make you want to source meme (bass can slam) which can get pricey.
  • Clamp-force is a bit much out of the box.
  • Connector is not the best.
  • Yearly, Senny Pad-Tax (replace the pads once their worn out)
  • I mean it's an open-back, what do you expect? (No ANC or PNC)
