Looks like an ES series Audio Technica, i think it's an ES7.

In fact, audiophiles are more concerned about looks

The answer is very easy : it's a different mastering, made solely for audiophiles. The file itself matters very little, it's just a better product from the start

The HD600 is less comfortable, but sounds amazing. It is definitely better tuned and more technically capable, though it does need a decent amp to show it. I use mine with the Fiio BTR5, and that works great for me, especially on wireless mode.

For the comfort, it is a step back, with higher clamping force, though the headband is better designed compared to the HD599’s faux leather.

They cost around 339 dollars here. It's insane. I bought them for 119 on Best Buy, and imported. Paid around 199 dollars after delivery and taxes. It's much more expensive than in US, but much more cheap than here.

After four years, all the leather remains without damage?

Cannot say I have heard of a null test. Care to explain how they work?

Bro tried to squeeze the watch in there to flex on us 😁

Yes, I fell the same for that photo. It's even better in real color

Why do people always want to identify headphones in photos? You can't know how they sound

The Sennheiser's bluetooth headphones could be in that shape. They are awesome and very comfy. I never tried the HD600. Maybe, going to São Paulo, I'll give a try. There's a Sennheiser store there.

How do you compare both models? in terms of sound, comfortable.

I share your enthusiasm. I've seen them going for around $100.00 lately, a tremendous bargain. i've had my pair for around four years now and they are still as comfortable and great sounding as they day i bought them.

Which is why a null test is the only way to know for sure :)

Would you be able to tell the difference if you didn't know they were different file types? I'd try to do a blind test if possible. Knowing beforehand which is which is a very powerful subconscious persuasive tool, something that has been proven in various studies.

Can't be.

I plan on including some measurements in the future, but currently I'm learning on how to measure, to not make worse articles with measurements if those would be done imporperly.

Equipment that measures distortion and aspects like the slew rate of the amplifier can be rather complicated to use and pricey, and I do focus on the subjective part of audio, not because I have special ears, but because I ought to have average and similar hearing to most people so I can talk about most peole would hear as well.

Exactly! I don't know how. I always find uncomfortable wearing any kind of headphone / headsets / earphones... even in comfortable models. But this one is better than nothing and I can't tell you why.

Unnamed Gas Station buds: allow us to introduce ourselves.

Have you done a null test on them? That's the best way of finding out if there is actually a difference.

Yes, that's a bit of a problem with it, I agree.

Yes, I figured it in the meanwhile, you can enable a system wide EQ on windows, with Peace and EQAPO. I disabled copying from the website because bots would steal content.

That Doggo is sooo cute😍

Parents: What did you do at school today?

Kid: Nothing much, just squirting.

Wow, what a crappy situation. Thank you for the detailed information. Sad to say (as an owner of a Heresy) that I have now read about a few things like this. Mine has been working well but I am not sure if this is something that it either has or doesn't have, or happens over time.

I saw the "Heretic" on their site around 4 minutes after I completed the purchase of my Heresy (in truth it was a day or so, but...). The first thing that hit me is that it has the headphone jack and volume control separated from each other. That is so far the only regular annoyance I am having with mine - is that they are so close to each other. No idea why they thought that was a good idea.
