The HD600 headphones are Sennheiser's flagship open-backed model, representing the state of the art in conventional moving-coil transducer design. The diaphragm design minimises standing waves, thereby reducing distortion, and is driven by an extremely lightweight aluminium voice coil to provide the...

With clean and transparent mids and smooth highs, the Sennheiser HD 600s possess many of the traits for which people gravitate toward planar and electrostatic speakers, and at a cost that's far lower.

I have been into Hi Fi for a number of years and currently have a Cirus SL Amp Arcam Alpha 7se CD, B&W 602 S2 and a REL Q400 sub. I have bought numerous amounts of headphones, mostly in ear types for walkmans etc, they have all been broken or lost. The HD 600?

The best sound you will get from HP's; Bass Responce; Comfort

Need decent current to drive them; Almost as loud on the outside

HD600 är bland dom bättre hörlurarna, men räkna med att få betala ungefär tre gånger så mycket än vad du gav för självaste hörluren innan du får riktigt bra ljud. En kraftig hörlursförstärkare är ett måste och en OFC kvalitets-sladd är ett måste det med. Jag ger den 5/5 i slutbetyg..

Den här luren har funnits i ett antal år och används alltid i jemförelse med nya Hi-Fi lurar som kommer till marknaden; Säger ju lite om vilken legend Senn HD600 redan hunnit bli, Ljudet är mycket klart och detaljfyllt med mycket och även klar bas.

HD600 är ju väldigt öppen hörlur, så folk i din omgivning kan enkelt identifiera vad du lyssnar på.; Vissa kan väl även störa sig på detta, om man befinner sig i samma rum; Gäller även höga ljud utifrån, Senn HD600 stänger inte ut dessa ljud heller och i det fallet blir det ju du som lyssnar som...

I'm still looking for headphones that perfectly meet the requirements mentioned above for recording. Nevertheless, these are excellent headphones for listening, and even for my purposes to a large degree. In this price range, the HD600s are the best I'm aware of.

For years I have gone thru headphones after headphones, some the quality of sound I found to be appalling, others would break just after a year or so, and some would not sit on the ears right thus hurting them, or they would be either too tight or fall off your head.

Sound Quality; Comfort; Design

Price; Headphone Cable

Previously the flagship model of Sennheiser's headphone range (excluding the infamous HE90, which can cost upwards of $15,000 in the Orpheus combination), the HD600s now play second fiddle to the HD650s.

Brilliant mid and vocal sounds; Prominent strong bass

Clamping effect on some people's heads; Costly; Treble rolloff

I love detailed sound. My car system is bright and the CD player has compression to bring out the small details even more. These headphones don't need compression. But I also like tight bass, which my car lacks, as do these (without an amp).

Clarity; full-size ear cushions

clamps very tight to head; bass light without headphone amp
