Edit: The emoticon says "money." I thought I was giving you a Heineken.

It's a Heineken.  Which is what you usually give to people you don't like.

In that case, I meant to give him a Jever.

 :)p13 It's a Heineken... Fixed!

I'm not sure about the regular HD580 measuring closer to the HD600s in general. There might be some product variation. These don't sound off to me though. Dunno. I also prefer the look of the HD580 Jubilee. This set is very well preserved relative to what I've seen on Ebay.

Thanks for the thorough measurements, G! The bass roll off surprised me too, I didn't expect it to be down so much in the last octave. The greater treble presence is probably why I prefer these to the HD650s.

The new pads seem to bring a tad more air and treble presence. I found them pretty awesome actually.

I also feel that this is how the HD600 should have looked like. I don't get the "marbled" presentation approach.

I bought the HD580 two times.  100€ each time. Best bang the buck I've ever bought and my main recommandation for anyone who want to buy a cheap top headphone. sadly , they become rare on second hand market. I sold mine to friends after I discovered I hadn't anymore use of them when I found a good HD800 rig.

Im' always awed when I read that the HD580 was released more than 20 years ago.
