The HD600 still being sold and bought by many is a statement in itself...yes its old technology but for many it gets the job done for sure.
I bought a set a month back just to see what $283 would by me and what is the hype on this particular can.....Its a really nice headphone and very accurate tonally IMO.
The soundstage is not what a HD800 or Beyer T1 provides but IMO its really not that bad....and the delta is $283 to $1599....I guess you gets what you paid for..

I am so tempted to save for the HD800's but that cost is way high for me ATM.
