    With clean and transparent mids and smooth highs, the Sennheiser HD 600s possess many of the traits for which people gravitate toward planar and electrostatic speakers, and at a cost that's far lower. But the HD 600s do bass better than most planars and electrostats I’ve heard, and they do not confine you to a small sweet spot either -- you can enjoy a great musical performance anywhere , and you will. Somewhat surprising to me is that the HD 600s are not quite a... Read more

    I have a very nice stereo surround sound speaker setup that sounds great, but living in an apartment and aware of the noise my video game habit makes, I wanted to find headphones that match the quality sound of my speakers. I seem to have found it with these. I can finally crank up the volume on my video games without worrying about what my neighbors are thinking of me. It's really made me very happy. They are extremely comfortable and I can wear them for 5 hour... Read more

    One of my greatest purchases ever!!! These really make me fall in love with the music I listen to. Normally I just plug them straight into my laptop headphone jack and they still sound great. They sound better and better every day and make everything else I listen to sound empty by comparison. Read more

    High-end sound for well under $600? You bet! A good pair of headphones and a dedicated amplifier is what you need to connect to your laptop to enjoy true high end sound. Several years back I had opted for the HD-580's and they not only reproduced ... Read more

    Sennheiser HD600 Headphones 4 There have been so many reviews here I almost didnt write one but with the lack of reviews by producers I decided to add one more to the list. If you're producing audio like myself you already know theres no replacement for a good set of monitors. That said there's a few reasons you may be mixing through a set of cans. My reasons are that my studio is sometimes mobile and that I'm often mixing in my apartment (I've found that boxers and a... Read more

    OK, I've had some low-cost headphones until some friends of mine recommended Sennheiser. So I headed to the nearest Big-Bang store and stared at the assortment, they had at least five to six models - well enough to make some comparison. After few minutes this model was the one, regarding price/performance ratio. Read more
