This Cyber Monday Sennheiser HD 6XX deal has me seriously considering upgrading the headphones I've used for nearly a decade

Don't get confused, though, there's still plenty of oomph there to enjoy. They're open-backed, too, which makes for a lighter sound that won't annihilate your eardrums. Just make sure you don't use them in a public library: there's pretty much no
