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

If you are looking at these, then you already know how good they are.

How do I know that these cans are working properly? Music definitely sounds very good, but my comparable are a pair of 10 year old computer speakers so my reference point is biased. Also, I dont have an amp, so Im not sure how much of this is due to the headphones, or not even power being driven thru by my computer.

I have been a Sennheiser fan for many years and still have the Sennheiser 414s from the 70s (and they still sound great). I wanted a good headphone to go with my Rotel RX-1050 receiver/amplifier because it reproduces sound so beautifully. In the Sennheiser 600s I got what I wanted and then some. They are a sheer listening pleasure. As other reviewers have mentioned, they do not work well with a portable CD player and would need an amp to perform properly. They are execellent with a good home stereo but they do let you hear exactly what is on your source, so with lower quality equipment, they will sound only as good as your stuff (garbage in, garbage out -- dont blame the 600s). These earphones are the best I have ever listened to. They are a joy to use. They fit reasonably comfortably but could get warm with prolonged use. Overall they are an excellent addition to any audiophiles equipment. My only (minor) gripe is the rather flimsy cable that comes standard. I am thinking of purchasing the Equinox cable (which has gotten excellent reviews) or making my own custom cable to further enchance the sound of these wonderful cans.

I have a pair of Beyerdynamic DT770 - coming from those, the HD600s are a HUGE improvement. I get less war fatigue than I do with the DT770s. Hear sound, comfy fit for hours. Love ‘em.

Bass is not prominent, voice is their emphasis!!

Despite the fact that these HD600 have been on the market for 20 years, they still set the benchmark for mid-priced audiophile headphones. superb soundstage, pin-point imaging, impeccable detail, tonal neutrality. They draw you into music beautifully and make you feel like the artist is in the room performing for you live. They do sound excellent with warmer amplifiers. I recommend them for everyone. They have a flat signature and round of rough edges very well, they are very transparent I checked multiple times to make sure my KEF LS50s wasnt playing. I really dont believe you can get better them at the price in 2020

Great entry level hifi headphone!

War ein Geschenk für meinen Mann. Ist total begeistert. Das Klangverhältnis perfekt. Optisch sehr

Im not a total audiophile, whatever makes someone an audiophile. I dont have a lot of money to throw at products, to figure out what sounds best to my ears. My first kind of pricey headphone purchase was a set of Grado 325s. I thought, and still think, they sound swell and I enjoy the soundstage but they sound so tinny with ear-piercing highs. And no, they are not comfortable at all, becoming fatiguing to both inner and outer ear at around an hour or so. After reading some super reviews I purchased the Audio Technica ATH-M50x (yes, the super-cool blue and copper colored ones). After some burn-in time I was thinking that these are on the complete opposite side of the spectrum, with lows coming in at around 45% of the sound coming through, mids at 20%, and highs at 35%. A little too bass-y for my taste, though overall more pleasing to my ears in all ways than my Grado 325s. What I found missing was the soundstage of the Grados as the M50x is a closed-back headphone. Indeed, the ATs actually seemed to sound best, oddly enough, with my iPhone 6S Plus driving it. Additionally, I have a crappy pair or Bose bluetooth headphones and in-ears, Shure SE215s, and RHA t20is (the RHAs slightly besting the Shures) but I mention this solely so whomever reads this can see where Im coming from listening-wise.

Estos auriculares han sido la referencia en hi-fi *asequible* durante casi 30 años, y no es por casualidad.
