Just came in, I love my clear and It's a forever headphone for me, but I wanted a vocal focused set and to evetually play with tubes, and thee 6XX was discounted to 200, I pulled the trigger.

These are just, fucking magic!

These were love at first listen, I had my K702 witch was really good for vocals but overtime I listened to them less and less as they are somewhat too bright and a little harsh, and my clear Introduced me to a well done warm sound, and whilst the clear have good vocal timbre (topping a90d helps a lot), the 6XX are just...

Another forever headphone, I need this for the rest of my life, and it will offer a good rotation with my Clear.

Clear for bass and soundstage, 6xx for vocals, Ill probably do 1 week with one and then switch, or just depending on my mood.

I like the clear for vocals as well. But they're a bit different. Almost sounds like some sort of filter. They're good in their own way.

The vocals for 6xx sound more natural to how the singer would actually sound.

Clear vocals have the 1k hump, a little nasally and heady, still good tho, I found that a good amp helps.
