Frequency response curve
Describing the HD 620S sound

Reference Sound
Overall, the frequency response (FR) of the HD 620S is fairly close to the reference HD 600, which suggests a very neutral true-to-life sound reproduction.
Accurate Bass
The most significant deviation is in the bass below 100 Hz. The weak point of the HD 600 is a relatively low bass response for modern consumer taste. The HD 620S has significantly enhanced performance in this area thanks to being a closed-back headphone.
Brilliant, smooth treble
The most impressive feature of the HD 620S as a closed headphone is the response above 4000 Hz: it’s exceptionally smooth and well extended to the highest frequencies. Almost all competitors have either considerably less high treble (less detailed sound) or an uneven response (visual spikes, which translates to some instruments being unnaturally loud.)
