When Steve Guttenberg reviewed the Sennheiser HD 650 headphones, he rightfully called them "fit for a king"--while noting that they retail for a correspondingly princely sum of $500. Thankfully, the HD 650s aren't the only model in Sennheiser's high-end audiophile line. The Sennheiser HD 600s can be bought at a 40 percent discount to their big brother. Yes, you'll be substituting a grey and black plastic finish for the 650s' fancy titanium metallic housing, but you'll still be getting a high-end pair of open-air headphones while saving enough money to buy a really nice bottle of vintage wine to sip as you listen to your music of choice. (For me, that would be the losslessly encoded FLAC version of Phish's live June 6, 1998, rendition of "Piper.")

The Sennheiser HD 600 headphones are a good choice for home listening if you're willing to pay for high-quality sound.

Sennheiser's high-end open-air headphones deliver deep bass; luxuriously padded ear cups; and a replaceable cord for a more economical price than their flagship model.

Expensive; not the best solution for portable listening; gray and black plastic finish doesn't scream high end.

The HD600s are sound wise pretty much identical to their predecessor (the HD580s) but then given the audio quality with the older model this is no bad thing. Some might think these headphones are ridiculously expensive but in this case the buyer really gets what they pay for.

Open headphones. Used since 2007 to mix, in addition to pregnant MSP5 Yam (recently traded for Solo6 Be

The 2019 version of the Sennheiser HD 600 is still a classic that does not differ from its predecessor in terms of technical data. The new version also impresses with its natural sound, which is minimally middle-heavy and offers enormous reserves in bass and treble.

With the extensive description on your site, I did not feel the need to do more research which I tend to overdue. I had a terrible buying experience a few times and vowed to never go back. I called the Help Center that Sonic offers to have a few questions answered about these headphones.

It's not often that I review headphones as most of the models I've heard aren't much to write home about. However, upon speaking with Ivy Scull of HeadRoom, she sold me with a pretty convincing argument about the sonic joys of a quality set of cans (headphones that is).

Phenomenal fidelity; Unparalleled comfort; Works well with a variety of sources

Big and bulky; Too nice for a travel companion

these headphones. Despite the problems with the bass, the midrange and treble make up for it, and more. I bought them at $210 USD, and would do so again in a heartbeat. These are/will be my reference against any other open-backed headphones I review or audition. Overall I would give them 8.5/10.

May not be exciting enough for some

I was never an audiophile, I just knew if I didn't get these on sale while seeking a quality upgrade, I would always wonder. Now I won't go back. I ordered from the Newegg marketplace and had no issues whatsoever.

Incredible sound; Everyone I've shown them to has been blown away

You MUST have an amp for these; I was able to use them with the volume@100% on my phone, but it wasn't desirable; I knew this going in, so not really a con, just a drawback; (I do have an amp) If you don't have an amp you might want to check out HD598 or Audio-Technica ath-m50x

I have LCD2's, Grados, Audio-Technica, Beyer T1, T90, DT1350, and many others...this HD600 is one of the nicest balanced headphones around. Its a CLASSIC and still performs very well. Music sounds like it supposed to...tonality...presentation. At this price this is the real deal. Just buy it..

The reason for buying headphones is usually so someone else doesn&#146t have to listen to what you w
