Sennheiser HD 600 - Audiophile Hi-Res Open Back Dynamic Headphone

I had to get a little headphone amp to drive them where I wanted them, but they sound amazing.

These are great headphones - neutral, smooth and easy on the ears for nearly all types of music. Ive got a few sets of cans including the Audio Technica A900, Shure E2C and Future Sonics Atrio M8s. The new Senns are easily my favorite, particularly after breaking in for a few days. Typical use is with a Zune 30gb, powered by a Little Dot MK1 portable amplifier. The amp really helps drive the Senns well although the Zune is capable of decent sound on its own if you dont have any amplification.

Yes still going strong after 10 years of usage. Very clear natural sound works equally with iPad and hifi system. After all this time however did have to invest in refurbishment - Foam pads are essentially gone, the ear lining has disintegrated and had to get a new cable as the contacts were loose. In total $80 but this will probably last another 7-10 years. The open air design is very comfortable and I use these for hours without fatigue. There are better closed headphones out there, from a hi-fidelity perspective, but at this price point and design I dont thing anything beats it. Also these are far far superior to the HD580, which I had previously.

Heard them a few times along the way, and always liked them. Now that I bought a pair, I can tell you that you can hear every picked string, but the highs dont glare and bite. Very relaxed but accurate treble. Some say they dont have bass, on SS amps they start going down at 75 Hz, by 35 Hz down about 8 db. They have excellent taut bass., low impact missing. However on OTL tube amps they are flat to 35 Hz. Very cohesive sound. You have to fork out for the Senn 800 or high buck planars to get better sound. Also a snap to migrate to balanced connections which with my Ragnarok gives more attack in the bass, better instrument separation, and more air/soundstage. In the hobby for 45 years and these are one of the 5 best price/performance deals Ive seen. Additional comments: Fostex-FH500, bought these here refurb, nice for female vocals, and mids, but low bass and treble beyond 12k? HD-600 smokes them, and in overall cohesion and ease of driving. Massdrop TH-X00: Supposedly a match for headphones in the 750-1k bracket. Too much low bass, too much treble, bright at higher than 90 db levels, very efficient and easy to drive. Oh yeah, both are more comfortable then the HD-600 (big head). After break-in, and new pads, both are sitting unused and will be sold, HD-600 wins again.

They sound great and I can wear them for hours without discomfort, unlike my previous gaming headset. The only downside is it highlighted the shortcomings of my weak DAC/AMP as they need a lot of volume(power) to be at normal listening levels. Thats not the headphones fault and it gave me an excuse to upgrade so Im not complaining, just something I ran into.

Tiene muy buena calidad de sonido, pero necesitarás un amplificador para conseguir un buen equilibrio

I ended up with these headphones after having tried, bought and returned a few other pairs. While these were quite a bit more expensive than my other contenders, I am very satisfied with my purchase of the HD600.

The Sennhesier HD600s were my choice of reference-class headphones, and they have exceeded my expectations in almost all criteria. After producing music on low-tier monitors and headphones for the past several years, it was time to upgrade the cans. For a musician who’s in the studio for hours at a time, comfortable headphones with a flat, precise response are necessary. It’s a plus that, in my opinion, HD600s are gorgeous.

These cans are phenomenal, as everyone in the audio world knows. The high;y acclaimed neutral and accurate HD 600s are perfect for critical listening and getting the absolute best out of music. Pair with an amp and DAC for best results.

I have owned mine around 10 years and got these for a friend. They are superb. Clear, accurate, comfortable and dont cause listening fatigue.
