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

Professional Sound and Quality

The Price

These are great headphones - neutral, smooth and easy on the ears for nearly all types of music. I've got a few sets of cans including the Audio Technica A900, Shure E2C and Future Sonics Atrio M8's. The new Senn's are easily my favorite, particularly after breaking in for a few days.

So I bought HD600 here on amazon over 5 yrs ago now. Since then I had a chance to listen to probably all high-end mode such as Audeze LCD-2,3,4,X, Beyerdynamics T1, hifiman he6, All different STAX models, Sennheiser HD650, HD700, HD700, and even HE60 and HE90 and you know what

very good headphones recommended them to anyone who takes their music seriously

its a well balanced headphone with clear well delivered bass; warm mids; and very precise highs

the styling could be better but hey your not really going to be walking about town with them on

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

Stunning headphones indeed. The first thing you think is that the appearance is really quite elegant and not too techno-aesthetic at all. The next is the crystal clear sound, be it Mahler, Fatboy Slim or Frank Sinatra.

Exceptional sound clarity, very comfortable to ware. Professional quality, perfect for use on stage where you need to hear other components of production, or in studio these headphones are great.
