Have thought of buying a few (€ 34,- + pads = € 20,- and filter mod € 15,- a bunch) and sell them in Europe only for interested folks.
Outside of the EU shipping and import duties take away the fun.
So for about € 70,- (excl. shipping with DHL € 12,- to € 16,- depending on country) just for the fun of it.

It's still a cheap build and the headband may not look nice anymore after a few years but including a hardcase and 2 cables it is a fun closed headphone.

. I'm located in Germany, so how high would shipping be?.

OT: I would take one, if you sell them. Maybe put your penguin as a sticker/logo on the cups as branding.

I have ordered everything for 3 headphones.
2 of them are already sold (includes yours).
Mine is not for sale .
Using that one now instead of the now boxed up DT1770 when I need a closed headphone.
Can make more when needed till the PRO4000 stock runs out.

It's just a good closed and comfy headphone. The build quality is fine when used carefully.
The headband pleather will most likely start to flake after some time though I suspect.

The topic is very interesting,Can I ask which Headphone Amplifier you drive your HD600?
Thanks

Earpads are one of the first things people think about when it comes to headphone comfort, but they aren’t the only comfort-related feature that should concern you. To be sure, ear pads are important. Many of the best audio equipment makers use sheepskin ear pads in their headphones, and it really makes a difference! But you should pay attention to adjustability, too. Can you adjust the headphones to fit your head without causing discomfort during long sessions? Not all headphones fit everyone the same way, so try to determine how well a given set of headphones will feel after a long listening session. from all of this, I am using the one and only apple earbuds pro and they are so comfortable and they are not hurting my ear also thanks

AKG K712 - pretty much all I need really - love their openess and comfort
Mixcder E10 - only for walking around the house wirelessly, much prefer the AKG

Tried the Sennheiser HD6xx out of curiosity but sold it as it didn't improve on the AKG for me

What situations do you prefer the AirPods Pro over the Max, and vise versa?

What situations do you prefer the AirPods Pro over the Max, and vise versa?

I use the AirPods Pro when at the bar or on a car ride, the Max is better for the office and for when battery life is important. The AirPods Pro hurt my ears after a while, which is why I bought the Max as well.

AirPods Max:

+Sound Stage
+Battery Life
+Superior Noise Canceling
-Needs EQ to sound acceptable (I don't like their sound quality with or without EQ I just tolerate it)

AirPods Pro:

+Better stock tuning out of the box
+Portability
+The snap on tips are great, I wish every IEM did that
-Could have better stock tips
