| Review | Rating | Last Updated | Best. Headphones. Ever.
They may be expensive for headphones, but you get what you pay for. Music and games sound amazing in these, and they are extremely comfortable. Sometimes I forget I'm wearing them at all. Also, the cables are very strong, and have withstood multiple pulls and snags on the cords without incurring damage. These headphones will be the last pair you ever buy. | 5 | 780 days ago | Sennheiser = Pure Audio Bliss
I originally was educated about the audio beauty of Sennheiser headphones over 5 years ago, having only experienced the most basic of Sony headphones that you would get at a local electronics store. I was under the assumption that headphones are headphones, what could possibly be different about a pair with a name I had never heard of versus a pair made by an electronic giant like Sony? As I slipped the Sennheisers on my ears, I never looked back.
<br />
<br />Ignorance was NOT bliss in this case.
<br />
<br />Soon after I got to experience what music is supposed to sound like, I quickly purchased a pair of Sennheiser headphones of my own and have enjoyed them ever since. From their cool, velvety feel to the crispness of audio clarity, I challenge anyone to find a headphone manufacturer that exceed Sennheiser.
<br />
<br />My Sennheisers have given me hours upon hours of sonic joy and I guarantee you will not be disappointed if you give them a chance. Are Sennheiser headphones more expensive? Are Mercedes more expensive? I am sure if you ask a Mercedes owner to give up their keys for a Ford they would laugh at your just as quickly as I would if someone wanted to replace my Sennheiser headphones with a Sony pair from Best Buy.
<br />
<br />You will NOT be disappointed.

<br />***** HIGHEST POSSIBLE RECOMMENDATION | 5 | 780 days ago | Worth every penny
Got these headphones 4 years ago for $200, and have since used them constantly. Not only are they built to last, but if something does break, you can replace it. For example, my devil-cat bit through the cord a few weeks ago, so I ordered a replacement cord(Silver Dragon) that can be installed by anyone in a few minutes. Needless to say, the sound is incredible, and the pads are so soft that I can wear them for hours at a time. There are many replacement accessories for audiophiles, so the sky's the limit. The marble-swirl finish on the outside is also a nice touch. If you wear headphones a lot, you really owe it to yourself to get the best! | 5 | 780 days ago | absolutely stunning
This headphone is literally worth over $1,000!!!! Its open dynamic system makes even my i-pod sound great. The musik is ever so ideally depicted and expansive as if you are in a concert hall. You MUST listen to Beethoven's Fantasia in C for Piano, Chorus and Orchestra,Op 80 (Rudolf Serkin). This experience brought tears to my eyes. I am forever indebted to Sennheiser and, once again, to the Deutscher Meister, Beethoven !!!!!!!! | 5 | 780 days ago | "Colored can" for those who don't know the sound of real music instruments
This Headphones and most of the high-end Sennheiser are very well tune to catch the ears of those "audio enthusiast" who think they know the real sound but they actually never even know how to play a music instrument.
<br />
<br />Sound of this Senn's high-end are so ear pleasing.
<br />Until you compare it with the real things.
<br />:(
<br />
<br />If you actually want the pristine sound of the real instrument consider these headphones instead.
<br />Sony MDR 7509
<br />Sony MDR 7506
<br />Audio-Technica ATH-M40FS
<br />Audio-Technica ATH-Pro700
<br />AKG K240 series
<br />
<br />You may not like these Studio phones on first listening but believe me they will grow on you like those professional in the studio.
<br />
<br />Moreover, at this price you can get Audio-Technica ATH-A900 or A900LTD which are the better cans for less money.
<br />A900 series are high-tech closed cans which provide more clarity than Sennheiser 600/650 (open cans) while still maintain on-par sound stage.
<br />
<br />A900/900LTD are less colored comparing with Sennheiser 600/650 too. | 1 | 780 days ago | Sonic Delight! But... a Warning!
The Sennheiser HD600s have only one thing wrong with them: they'll change you from someone who enjoys good audio... into an audiophile! I've been known as a videophile for many years over on one of the top AV forums, but I've always been satisfied with merely "decent" audio. Until now.
<br />
<br />I'd previously ripped all my CDs into the (previously quite impressive) Windows Media format at 192K bps, but that's now useless. With the phenomenal ability of the Sennheiser HD600s to reveal all the subtle nuances of your music, listening to compressed discs is like listening to your music through a thick layer of vaseline. Here we go again... it's time to rip everything into lossless format.
<br />
<br />I cannot recommend these headphones more highly - they are simply extraordinary. When your tastes become accustomed to this level of quality, though, life's going to get a lot more expensive, as you try to update everything to match your new level of sonic differentiation.
<br />
<br />Still, this is a bloody miracle. My ears have finally been opened. Wow! | 5 | 780 days ago | The King
Well, if you're here, then you probably know what you're looking at. If not, let me explain.
<br />
<br />The HD600 was introduced by Sennheiser as the replacement for their highly acclaimed HD580. It was essentially the HD580 Jubilee edition, but re-dressed and re-badged. As such, it shares nearly everything with the HD580 Jubilee, and shares it's drivers with the HD580. The HD600 has been on Stereophile's A list for ages, and hasn't budged despite passing years and many new models from competitors. It has also been the golden standard for neutrality and accuracy in recording studios worldwide.
<br />
<br />What does the HD600 sound like? Quite simply, it sounds much like the components that you have upstream, but with more weight and body to the sound. The HD600 is uncolored enough that every change in your signal path results in a different sound signature. You hear exactly how your CD player sounds, how your amp sounds, how your cables sound (yes, I know this statement disqualifies me with the audio cynics... well, so be it). In my experience with hi-fi and more specifically headphone hi-fi, I've yet to find another headphone that sounds so neutral, so very "right" with everything that I throw at it.
<br />
<br />It is detailed, but presents detail in a relaxed manner. It is very airy and open but doesn't sound thin. It has a strong bass but it's quite clear and well defined. It has a melodic midrange but it's clean and articulate. It has exactly the right tone and tembre on every instrument. And it does it all in a very coherent, integrated fashion. Everything is part of a greater sonic whole, and works together in a coherent fashion to recreate beautiful music. Most prominently, it has a sense of weight and solidity to every sound that is very much speaker-like. I have heard this kind of solidity in other headphones, but in many cases it has worked detrimentally to the music. In this case, it adds a sense of magical realism that's hard to find elsewhere.
<br / | 5 | 780 days ago | Sennheiser HD-600
Having been a buyer of Sennheiser products for over 10 years, I feel it is time I endorse a product I truly believe in, and have never been let down by. Including service and customer satisfaction.
<br />
<br />Each time buying a Sennheiser product, I found myself stepping up to the next level of their headphones, because they simply keep improving their technology to the point that what you used to own by them gets overwhelmed by the latest headphone they offer. When I bought the HD-600's, I had just come away from years owning the HD-25. When these encountered a technical problem, I replaced them with a backup choice, the HD-25SP's. The difference in sound going 'lower' down their scale of products was just too much to bear. So I bit the bullet and went higher.
<br />
<br />Whether you use Sennheiser's merely for pleasure, or for studio work, the accuracy of their sound, and what you get for your money cannot be beat. My HD-600's ran into a small technical glitch (and Sennheiser were extremely helpful in getting this fixed and replaced within 2 days of receipt), and I swear I nearly cried in their absence. HD-600's give you a clear idea of how things were recorded, how good your system is, and what truly sounds inferior. You never listen to things quite the same way again.
<br />
<br />The reason my reviews of Paul McCartney and John Lennon albums from the 70's all comment on how inferior the recording quality is (especially compared to the so called ''Economy Class Beatles'' George Harrison's and Ringo Starr's albums from the same decade), is down to what HD-600's reveal. My main source of media tends to be Vinyl, because Compact Discs and DVD's still cannot capture what analogue/turntable equipment captures. Vinyl is simply warmer and more 'round' in comparison to its digital counterparts. And when listening to badly recorded albums, HD-600's make you wonder if you spent more on your headphones than the artist did using a studio. HD-600's are the reason I menti | 5 | 780 days ago |
