  • Excellent sound
Excellent sound and clarity. A big step up from the HD 280, HD 380, and HD 599 I've used previously. Well worth the the price tag if you care about your sound. I don't need to EQ these at all for 98% of songs, but sometimes I turn up the lower end very slightly and turn down the upper end very slightly. I listen to EDM, Rock, and Jazz and they sound great for all. I've read that some people don't like the bass for EDM, but it sounds fine. They're headphones, not a subwoofer strapped to your head. You don't NEED an amp to drive these volume wise, but if you want better sound it could help depending on what your setup is. My motherboard has a Realtek ALC1220, which I feed to a mixer that drives these. If I plug them directly into the motherboard they are LOUD, but they could have distortion which an amp could fix. If you don't have the money for a separate amp and you have a decent audio chip in your PC then don't worry about it. Really. These are fairly high impedance so I don't hear the noise interference from my GPU or mouse that I used to hear from lower impedance headphones, but this is true for any high(er) impedance headphones. I've seen some people talk about a strong clamping force which I haven't experienced. They "clamp" tighter than some other closed/open back headphones, such as the HD599, but it's not painful or uncomfortable to me, even while wearing them for hours. But, I have worn headphones daily for years so I'm used to it. This gets better as they're broken in as well. Noise cancellation is non-existent; they're open back headphones. Leakage is not too bad, but you can definitely hear them in the proximity of someone wearing them. Build quality seems solid enough, but we'll see how long they last. I haven't read any complaints about build quality anyway so I'm not worried about it. Overall I'm very impressed. They made me upgrade my library because I was able to notice how poor quality some song files were. ... show more

  • All the very positive reviews cannot be wrong.... and they aren't
My road to the Sennheiser HD 600's has been a little long and filled with some interesting twists and turns that have, or so I hope, led me to a better understanding of what are a great set of headphones. Naturally it is very typical to wish to compare these to other headphones. After all, isn't that how we so often make purchasing decisions? We try differing products until we find the one which works best/right for our needs. So my review is going to work on two fronts: a review of the product itself, and a review against some competitors I have acquired in the last year in my quest to find headphones that are right for me. And hopefully for you. Regarding the HD600's themselves I have mostly nothing but excellent news to report. Personally, I like the way they look. The mottled black and blue coloring is different, but not garish in any way. The large and deep oval ear cups are precisely what one wants for an over-the-ear design. At 6'4" I'm certainly sporting a larger head than the average male and fortunately for me my entire ears fit comfortably inside the ear cups. My ears do not touch the protective cloth over the drivers, but the outer edge of my ear does touch at places around the inside of the ear cup. This is a minor annoyance and goes unnoticed some of the time. Those of you more average of height and head size will likely never have this issue. The ear cups themselves are very comfortable, seal well to my head and do not get hot even after a good number of hours of use. This also means the head clamping force is perfect for me; I never feel like my head is being squeezed. Everything about the headphones seems to indicate they are well-made, but I cannot help but feel the plastic seems a bit thin. Maybe cheap even. They do not creak and nothing flexes, but it's the only part which lets me down at all about the headphones. The included box, while awesome for storage, is clearly not oriented for travel. But I would argue these aren't portable headphones meant for the on-the-go user. They do not fold up. The ear cups do not turn to lay flat. And considering the amplification needed to properly drive these, using a typical portable music player (your cell phone, iPod, etc.) isn't ideal anyway. Now for what I consider to be the more important part of how I came to select the HD600: research and listening. Let's first be clear about something... audio equipment is not unlike some other equipment markets in that you often spend exponentially more money for an item just to gain minor, incremental increases in some important criteria. To you speaker X sounds better than speaker Y, all other things being equal. It's likely speaker X costs more. Most of the time it will cost more, but not all of the time. But how much more does it cost and how much more quality of sound are you receiving for that additional cost? It's almost always a matter of diminishing returns... loads more money for a bit firmer bass or slightly clearer treble. But this is the nirvana for which we seek in audio equipment. Over the last year I purchased two other sets of headphones: Grado 80e and Sennheiser Momentum. Clearly the Grado's at $100 are the least expensive with the Momentum jumping up markedly to $299, while the more recently acquired Sennheiser HD600 hit the $400 mark. Comparing my first two purchases, the 80e's and Momentum's, the differences were pretty straight-forwarded. To me the Grado's sounded brighter with good bass and sligthly harsh mids ("smeared" is the word which came to mind as I compared them in listening tests at home). The Mometum's sounded more laid back (not as bright) with great bass (that could be a bit smeared itself in the upper bass) and definitely superior mids (thinking men's voices here - became painfully obvious will using a live track from Morrissey between the two headphones). And so it was I came to find myself using each pair for different purposes. The Grado 80e's became my preferred can for classical music (a genre into which I am becoming more deeply involved of late) as I felt, for my personal preferences, the brighter qualities enhanced the instruments typical of classical music, while the bass was more than sufficient. But when I wanted to rock (or alternative as is more often the case) I broke out the Momentum's. The accentuated, but not overblown bass, was quite welcome and I noticed less the laid back nature of the treble, especially as I used them more and more. But with the also recent purchase of some better home audio equipment (Marantz CD6005 CD player and a SoundEngine D1 DAC/Headphone amp for my computer - listening to ALAC encoded tracks) I found myself thinking both the Momentum and 80e were somehow lacking. That I wasn't getting everything I could from my music via this better equipment. From all the research I had done previously I elected to spend the money and purchase the HD600. I don't think I have found a single bad review out there in the Internet sphere. A few have thought them a little warm or laid back. But most every review hits upon how, and especially for the money, the HD600s hit all the right notes (sorry). Having had them burned in for 30-hours the listening tests began. I had considered this purchase principally for classical music. I really didn't think I'd get more from them for rock/alternative than I was already getting from the Momentums and so it was the classical CDs came out and I plugged into the CD player. I also plugged in the Grados to the Marantz A/V receiver, direct mode engaged. Adjusting for volume as best I could (this is hardly scientific) I played a handful of very familiar tracks from very familiar CDs; swapping back and forth between the HD600s and Grado 80e. It too almost no time to hear the difference. I'll concede that it's sometimes difficult to put into words the differences heard, but I'll try. The first thing I noticed were the violins. When a number of them are playing notes together the Grado's sounded smeared compared to the HD600s. Not unlike a poorly created JPEG from a digital point-n-shoot versus a well-made JPEG from an original RAW processed via Adobe Lightroom. Details are are lost in the former, but the latter does a far superior job of keeping the detail even in the process of losing information. The HD600 left me feeling like I was actually sitting there in the room with the musicians. I'm not referring to placement of the instruments (the HD600 do a good job, but I've read reviews for other cans that do better), but simply how clear, precise, concise and live-sounding are the violins. Actually, it was true of all the stringed instruments. The resonance of the strings... their very clear nature... was a welcome and astonishing difference. Granted, the Grado's are one-quarter the cost and I shouldn't be surprised the HD600's sounded better. Markedly better. And I didn't have to listen long or hard to notice the differences. They are obvious; not subtle. That said, I can't say I was every displeased with the Grado's. It was only in comparison to the HD600's that it became possible to hear and understand the Grado's limitations. And like the stringed instruments, voices also became sharper, clearer, more focused. I had found what I was looking for regarding my classical music interests: a pair of headphones that while generally neutral (which some would consider to be 'flat' and flat has, I think, a negative connotation), are not at all boring or flat. I feel the music is more alive than ever in comparison to the Grado's. So... I also broke out some rock and alternative music (the recently remastered Led Zeppelin discs, some Nine Inch Nails and Pet Shop Boys) to see what the HD600's could do. Here I feared the Momentum would just kick butt thanks to the fuller bass, but I must say the HD600's continued to impress. All the good things they brought to mid and higher frequencies (clarity, precision) were still present, but, surprisingly, the bass was rock solid as well. I may hate myself for saying it, but I think the bass was a bit better. The upper-bass bloat in the Momentum's doesn't appear on the HD600's, which tends to make the lower-bass stand out more because they aren't overwhelmed by the enhanced upper-bass. I'd still say the Momentum's have more punch and who doesn't like that when listening to rock or alternative, but I could find myself readily using the HD600's just as often for The Smiths, The Cure, Skinny Puppy, etc. as I would the Momentum's. And here I think I have found a most excellent trio of headphones. Finding one perfect pair of headphones for all needs and opportunities is probably impossible. But I think I have accidentally stumbled upon a most excellent hat trick of cans that meet my various needs. I like to listen to music when I'm on the go; I have needs for portability. And while not truly the most portable of headphones, the Grado's for classical (and still quite reasonable for rock and alternative) and the Momentum's for rock and alternative (I confess I don't like them as much for classical as I do the Grado's for rock and alternative), AND the HD600's for more critical, at-home listening with audio equipment that has enough amplifier ooomph to properly push them. Add my name and voice to the long list of of folks who think, dollar for dollar, the Sennheiser HD600 are the best value in headphones out there. ... show more
