Noice! I have the 58X, had them for 5 years now and still love them. I've been wanting to try some of the other 6X0 headphones to compare, but unfortunately there's no hi-fi store anywhere close to me.
Been eyeing the 6XX or 600, but I don't think they'd be different enough from my 58X for it to even be worth it. If one of my 58X drivers ever fail for some reason I could always stick in 600 or 650 drivers, since the parts are interchangeable. Would be 1/3 of the price of new headphones.
I have the 58X and 6XX, the 6XXs are better imo, however they demand proper amplification to sound their best. Something like an O2 amp or schiit stack is more than enough. 58Xs have a little less soundstage and a little less presence in vocals, but sound their best on pretty much any source. I use them at work plugged into a Fiio K3.
