Which is easier to drive? 580 or 600?

I came across a shop which sells second hand headphones.

 

Obviously the 600 cost twice as much as the 580, but I'm thinking of buying another pair of Senns. just to add to the collection at home (Australia). I've already got 3 Senns. but I don't have high quality amps to drive them, just the normal typical stereo system (Kenwood which we also bought from Japan). These phones are very cheap and I thought that even though they are second hand, they may be worth buying/fixing. I'm buying for my brother BTW.

 

I know I've been posting a lot about phones lately, but I'm buying the MDR3000 for certain.

 

Thanks again.

Nice to know of an avid collector of quality cans but I think you could do yourself a favour by buying a quality headamp. Your siblings will definitely surprise U when they perform near/at their full potential.

580 and 600 both have 300 ohm impedance.

Identical drivers mate.

You can't drive either one... DOH! You mean impedance!

 

Which one do you have already? Get the one you don't have yet. It's nice to have a different model just for comparative purposes.
