Sennheiser HD 600 Consumer Headphones

Pros: Highly revealing, excellent dynamics, authoritative, exceptional build quality
Cons: None, except price for some.

High-end sound for well under $600? You bet! A good pair of headphones and a dedicated amplifier is what you need to connect to your laptop to enjoy true high end sound. Several years back I had opted for the HD-580's and they not only reproduced ...

Pros: Professional Sound and Quality!
Cons: The Price!

The reason for buying headphones is usually so someone else doesn’t have to listen to what you want to listen to. The Sennheiser HD-600 will change your mind, they actually can produce a better sound then some speakers.

For the Gamers the...

Pros: Outstanding sound quality from most sources, exceptional comfort
Cons: Less than ideal for portable use without an amp

Several months ago I visited a home-furnishings superstore called The Great Indoors, and I looked at the amazing selection of Sennheiser headphones there. Unfortunately, the Sennheiser models that they had on display and had available for...

Pros: Amazing detail,very natural smooth sounding presentation. Comfortable!!!
Cons: Perhaps a bit pricy. They need a dedicated amp to really shine.

Let me state for the record that I'm pushing 50 years on this planet and have been involved with audio gear in different capacities for a very long time.

I have owned a lot of headphones through the years, starting with Koss PRO 4A's back in...

Pros: Wide, flat frequency response, replaceable parts, very comfortable, open-air construction, excellent presentation, beautiful
Cons: Other headphones pale in comparison, cord seems flimsy and needs frequent replacing

After two years using my Sennheiser HD-600s, I've decided to finally write a review. Now that Sennheiser has released their new HD-650s, this may seem antiquated, but I still feel like commenting on them. I first purchased the HD-600s after reading the ...

Pros: BEST BUY WITHOUT BUYING CONCERT TICKETS..
Cons: Not cheap but still a bargain

I purchased a pair these headphones about 2 weeks ago. (For the purpose of comparison my reference headphones are ESP.9s---30/15kHz +-1.3db no longer made but you can compare at >$1k). These phones, however, can do things even my reference...

Pros: Top Shelf Performance and Comfort
Cons: Audiophile Listening may not be for everybody.

The question is not "Are the HD-600's that good?" because they are, without a doubt. No, the question is "Am I ready for audiophile-grade sound reproduction?" because that's what the HD-600's provide at what is essentially a bargain...

Pros: Comfort, sensitivity, lack of intermittent-earpiece-contact problems
Cons: A bit too bright!

I purchased the Sennheiser HD 590 Prestige headphones because I was a bit disappointed with my previous Sennheisers (HD 575, which uses the same transducers as the HD 590 but tweaked to fit into an HD 500 shell). I had considered the HD 580 Precision and...

Pros: Comfortable, efficient, great sound
Cons: A bit expensive and I wish they were a little smaller for lugging about.

My last headphones were sennheisers. I bought them about 8 or 9 years ago for $70 and used them almost every day for many years. After a while I managed to damage them a bit by stepping on the cord in spite of the modular design that let the cord pull...

Pros: The best sound and comfort
Cons: not for noisy environments

This is the one. The headphone that defines headphone listening. Built of the finest materials and utilizing the most current technologies these headphones not only sound the best but look and feel the best. The detail is very good, the mids liquid and...

Pros: Gorgeous sound. I weep each time I put them on.
Cons: I weep because I spent so much money

Yes, I did it. I put on a pair of $60.00 headphones and listened for awhile. Then I put on the HD 600. The difference was like looking at a painting ($60.00), and then stepping inside the painting($400.00). Was stepping inside the painting worth it?...

Pros: Airy, great bass, clear sound, superb macrodynamics.
Cons: A tiny bit soft in the upper mid-range.

I've had my Audio Technica W100 for a few weeks now, and my Sennheiser HD600 for a few months (though I owned another pair a year before that, and owned 580s for two years).

I've organized this review for maximum viewing pleasure. First come...

Pros: Super-real clarity; detail; transparency; incredible value; comfort
Cons: None worth mentioning

You don't have to be reminded of Germany's engineering laurels. Cars, shavers, ping pong tables -- whatever it is. They know what they're doing.

Sennheiser is no exception. This company has a proven track-record of producing superb audio...

Pros: very comfortable
Cons: too bright!!!

Having been a Sennheiser lover quite a while now I was very curious to hear the latest headphone from them. Meant to replace the 580, the new 590 sports the new "bionetic" design (is this the equivalent of "digital ready"???). They...

Pros: Great, transparent sound
Cons: Very hard to drive

The HD-600 is an excellent headphone, providing an open and airy response. They are totally uncolored to the point of being "clinical." They bring out all the detail in the music without coloring it in any way. They sound considerably more...
