As the title says, I'm curious to know if there are any established sound differences between the new HD600 (https://en-uk.sennheiser.com/best-audio-headphones-high-end-stereo-hifi-hd-600 ) that was relaunched with new cosmetic looks in late 2019 vs the old and somewhat fugly HD600 (https://www.hifiheadphones.co.uk/pr...n-back-hifi-headphones-with-replaceable-cable ) that we loved & hated with the blue marbling?
I'm really talking about if there are any differences in the sound between them, including the frequency response? The reason I ask this is because I put in an order today for the new HD600 and part of my reasoning for doing this is that I want to use an Oratory1990 Harman EQ on a decent & affordable open backed headphone. I currently have the AKG K702 which does not have a measured Oratory1990 EQ on it, instead it has my own modified EQ based on AKG K702 Anniversary Edition EQ from Oratory1990, and I know it's a bit off from comparing to my Harman EQ'd JBL 308p Mkii's and also my NAD HP50 Oratory1990 EQ'd headphones. Yeah, so I wanted to buy a pair of quality open backed headphones that could be Oratory1990 EQ'd, as he indeed does have an EQ profile for the Sennheiser HD600 - but do you know if his EQ is based on the new version or the old version of the HD600, and as you can see that links into my main question of whether the new version of the HD600 has a different sound signature/frequency response compared to the old HD600.
Any folks got some news or ideas on this, I tried googling and came up with a few things, but nothing too conclusive....I wanted to tap the experienced minds here (well anyone who wants to respond too)? It doesn't seem we have a thread here on old vs new HD600.
EDIT: I did just now find this thread here on ASR on the topic that so happens to be created yesterday, but no answers at that thread:
