Pros: Wonderful sound quality, very comfortable
Cons: The cable connections to the headphones are loose on mine
Summary: I originally bought these with Sennheiser's Lucas surround sound unit and I have never looked back (although the Lucas unit is stuck in a cupboard now :-)
The sound is wonderful and it was amazing to hear headphones producing such good bass ... read more

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

Pros: Utterly faithful reproduction; beautiful beyond my expectations.
Cons: Not for budget hunters
Summary: I've owned many ultra high end headphones, but the HD 600's are in a class of their own. They are incredibly musical with an uncanny sense of depth and utter accuracy...very smooth throughout. They are also blissfully comfortable and can be worn for ... read more

Pros: GREAT sound, extremely comfortable, brings out subtle details
Cons: Expensive, flimsy cable connection to earpiece, accentuates bad sources, conveys too much outside noise
Summary: I was recently invited to participate in a group sales action, where the group orders a bulk purchase of a product for a reduced per-item cost. In this case, it was for the Sennheiser HD-600. The group in question is a group of audiophiles, and all of ... read more

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

Pros: Professional Sound and Quality!
Cons: The Price!
Summary: 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 ... read more

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

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

Pros: Pristine sound, ergonomic design
Cons: Demand audiophile signal quality and amplification
Summary: To make the Sennheiser HD 600's a worthwhile purchase, you need very good upstream equipment. Buying these to plug into your computer, or into a mass-market CD player is a bit like mixing 20-year old Scotch into a Long Island Iced Tea.

Pros: Great sound quality, great max volume, comfortable
Cons: cumbersome, expensive
Summary: The Sennheiser HD 600 is the best set of headphones I have ever owned. Yes they are expensive, but once you have listened to a compact disc on these headphones you will never want to change. The Sennheiser HD 600 provides the maximum comfort to any ... read more

Pros: Great, transparent sound
Cons: Very hard to drive
Summary: 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 ... read more

Cons: open air design prevents use in noisy environment
Summary: Upon hearing the Sennheiser HD 600 for the first time, I was immediately "blown away." This is a superlative headphone, which will wring every ounce of resolution and detail from your system. I delight in introducing my ... read more

Pros: very comfortable
Cons: too bright!!!
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: amazing comfort, frequency response, design, and materials
Cons: not cheap, they need an amp
Summary: I looked, listened, and searched far and wide for THE pair of headphones. I listened to Grado's (too tinny, very uncomfortable), I listened to other Sennheisers...but in the end, for all types of music I chose the HD600's. Imagine strapping a pair of ... read more

Pros: Very comfortable
Single cord connection to the ear pieces
Good Bass
Cons: Weak mid-range
A bit bright
Summary: I think the best way to determine if these are the headphones are for you is for you to consider what type of music you will be listening to. I bought the 590's for my mainly rock-n-roll interests, and was a little disappointed. The clarity was good

Pros: Sound, comfort, detachable cord, light.
Cons: Plastic may break if you run it over with your car :).
Summary: I fell in love with these cans at first sight when I gave them a shot at a high-end music store in Europe last year, and finally my wife showed some mercy and decided to buy them for me as a birthday present. You can't go wrong with HD590, just don't

Pros: Overall sound quality
Cons: None, apart from the £100 cost
Summary: What a great pair of cans! Bought them for £100 from Richer Sounds. I have used them to listen to a variety of sources and differing types of music and in all cases I have found the cans produce a great sound. I have read that many think the cans
