Hi! Just wondering what’s the general consensus on Marble vs. Updated design versions of Sennheiser HD 600?

I’m asking this because I noticed that a lot of people prefer Marble one over the new revision.

Is there any audible difference in the sound? Did anyone measure both headphones with the new set of pads on the same measurement rig?

    I used to have a marble version, but sold it years ago, because I also had (and still have) a 6XX, and wouldn’t justify keeping both around since they really sound more similar than different.

    I can’t tell you exactly why this was the case, but over the years, I found myself missing the 600, for whatever odd reason, and ended up buying the newer version last year. From memory, I don’t notice any significant sound differences, other than of course these coming with newer pads straight out of the box. With that said, they sound every bit as good and enamoring as I remembered them, so no regrets.

    Plus, aesthetically, I much prefer the newer design, so it’s the cherry on top for me.
