Checked. 2020 MacBook Air M1 vs. 2020 MacBook Pro M1 13'+ HD650. No noticeable difference. To low volume level for me, alas.

What EQ settings do you suggest for the 6XX?

Same internals as the HD650 so here is the APO equalizer settings. https://www.audiosciencereview.com/...ser-hd650-review-headphone.18774/#post-614432
I'm going to throw in a real curveball and suggest the Sennheiser HD565 as one of the most underrated 'vintage' headphones available.
My dailys are HD600/650 and LCD2 Fazors but when I feel in the mood for a comfortable and fun listening experience I reach for the 565's.
No silly EQ necessary, they have a beautiful, engaging SS all their own, but you'll miss some bass coming from the M50's - I have 2 pairs of those too.
HP snobs will baulk at them but they fit your budget, if you can find and then restore a pair! 150-Ohm so that may be a fly in the ointment.
Refurbing them is easy as they are relatively easy to dismantle, refurb and/or replace the pads.
I have 11 pairs of them (not for sale). I don't know why I have that many pairs exactly, I just do. They form part of an overall collection of the 'Tullamore' era of the HD*** range which I have become a bit obsessed with.
