>Or they can buy Sony MDR 7506 for about $100, and they will sound ok and last 20+ years.
I happen to also own a pair of 7506. Do note these are a closed set, and they are, by far, not comparable with HD600. Basically like night and day.
In the words of a coworker who also owns 7506, after trying my HD600: "Now the 7506 sound to me like an AM radio."
Still, I don't disagree they're decent as closed headphones at <$100, particularly if you only care about the mid range. But they're relatively colored, despite their popularity as "monitors", and much worse than the Japan-only mdr-cd900st classic.
