Sennheiser iE60

The big brothers to these Sennheisers , the iE80s blew us away when we tested them – but at £270, they're rather pricey. These £140 iE60s are altogether more affordable and, while they lack the customisable bass response of their peers, don't scrimp when it comes to build quality or finish.

Energetic sound; full bass; good build quality; wide range of ear tips; good isolation

Low frequencies dominate a little too much; high frequencies can get brash

Expensive, yet not good

These are bazaar. I have an older set of Sennheiser buds with the loop that wraps around the back of the neck which have excellent sound, so I was looking forward to a lighter, even better performing earbud set. These were terrible.

Able to return them easily through the excellent service at Crutchfield; Makes every other earbud in existence seem good

Very poor performance.

Sennheiser IE60 In Ear Headphones (Earbuds)

Sennheiser is a very well known name in the headphone game. My first good headphones, and the center of my first high end audio system, were the Sennheiser HD580s I had in college. The company has always been known for high quality over the ear, open back headphones.

When I was an impoverished and inebriated student, my desire for great sound was pretty much as strong as it was now but had to be done on a shoestring. Although it has been fifteen years since I started university, some things were eerily similar to the present.
