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

This is my first review ever. I have a pair of $300.00 Pioneer headphones that I thought were great. I have MS and listen to music a LOT. I really wasnt in the market for different phones but I have a lot of time on my hands and I was just browsing and everything I read about these was 4 or 5 stars. I also have a high quality 7-way Definitive speaker system driven by a very high quality Onkyo receiver. These have phones better sound. I am a little older and have listened to music from records to I-Pods. I may never take these headphones off. They are that good. I am listening to music that I really didnt like but now with all these new sounds they are fun to listen to. It takes a lot for me to come up with $360.00 but it was money well spent. The biggest problem may be listening to them to loud and hurt your ears. Enjoy

Ive owned these headphones for roughly 4 months and I feel as though Im ready to review them.

Exactly the reference I wanted.

Habe den HD600 mit einem DT990pro von Beyer vergleichen können, der Sennheiser macht alles eine spur besser. Der Beyer zischelt im Hochton vor allem bei Stimmen etwas und im Baß übertönt er die Mitten etwas. Genau das macht der HD600 nicht und deswegen auch den Aufpreis von über 100 Euro in meinen Augen wert. Er braucht aber schon wenns geht einen Verstärker ans Notebook.

If this is your first foray into high-end audio, youre listening at home, and you can swing a decent amplifier, buy these cans before you splurge for any others.

Really fine headphones for classical mastering and mixing (I record classical music from sample libraries). Ordered these a few months ago at the recommendation of a mastering engineer I work with in the UK and have really enjoyed them... but... Just the other day I got

These are excellent audiophile headphones, no doubt about it. Their reproduction of sound is superior, and there is no attempt to render the sound excessively bass-y or to otherwise alter/distort whatever signal the source happens to deliver. This actually is a mixed blessing, since many contemporary listeners now seem to expect a exaggeratedly bass-heavy sound from their headphones.

I do not like how the cords Y shape coming down catches my chin when I remove these headphones. Ive had to change the way I take them off so this doesnt happen. Sometimes taking them off I pull my own hair a little bit, this can be prevented by training myself to remove them differently.

Had to replace the cables, but no sweat, they still sound great. Perfect for string quartets and solo classical works.

excellent quality
