I find Mike Deans room much more accurate for hearing the difference between say 45hz and 55Hz for example. On my HD650s that was all just indistinguishable mush to me for mixing.
For listening i found them quite good because they were so forgiving everything sounded pretty nice.
Yeah, maybe. I've definitely created stuff my 600s do
not forgive though. In fact they hate it. I'm rolling the low end off around 40hz anyway generally. Not a big hard core low, low bass guy. I don't do music like that.
SoundID improves the bass response. Things do sound nice on 600s generally, I've always thought that. Sometimes I wonder whether microscopic control is really always helpful though. A fella could get lost in the weeds if he's not careful. Most the music I love was probably mixed on a single speaker and designed for vinyl playback which means truncated low and high end and a solid midrange. 600's do have a good midrange, so there's that.
I guess the reliance was on good songs, solid arrangements, recorded well and mixed astutely through the mid range. I'm looking forward to re-introducing VSX though to see what I make of it having , I think, generally improved my mixing skills.
Has VSX had that big update that Slate was talking about a few months ago?
