The Sennheiser HD 600 headphones are a good choice for home listening if you're willing to pay for high-quality sound Read more
- Luxuriously padded earcups, Included adaptor
- Expensive, Not the best solution for portable listening, Grey and black plastic finish doesn't scream high end

It's great, for example, with well-recorded rock, but perhaps a little less comfortable with classical. Sound seems to vary little between dedicated headphone amp and CD player headphone socket. Read more
- Lively, broad dynamics, Attractive and comfortable
- Not the most detailed treble

I've been an audiophile for donkey years now and have even, in my small way, achieved some renown as a reviewer. Yet, every time I review headphones I get defensive. Read more

Previously the flagship model of Sennheiser's headphone range (excluding the infamous HE90, which can cost upwards of $15,000 in the Orpheus combination), the HD600s now play second fiddle to the HD650s. Read more
- Brilliant mid and vocal sounds, Prominent strong bass
- Clamping effect on some people’s heads, Costly, Treble rolloff

- Unbelievable sound, superb comfort, attractive price (eventually)
- Fragile construction, a bit bulky, and slight bleed from headphone to microphone in broadcast applications

I've had a pair for 10 years! Replaced the cord once (my fault), rotated the pads, but that's it. They've worked flawlessly. Oh, it will show significant improvement with a quality headphone amplifier because the source will... Read more
- Excellent imaging, soundstage, detail, and musicality. They just sound stellar.
- A bit bulky. You might have to put up with comments of "Mickey Mouse". But then they don't know what they're missing.

These are very good headphones for the money, quite balanced sounding. Yes there are some headphones which can do this and that better technically, but somehow not as balanced overall and not as natural in the midrange. Read more
Excellent buy for NEUTRAL headphones

Sound is neutral and very clear. Much wider sound stage than other (cheap) headphones I've owned. Not too hard to drive; bass is lacking from iPod output, but my Creative X-Fi Elite Pro does a fine job. Read more
- Clear Sound, Easy To Use, Powerful, Professional Functions, Versatile
- High Impedance, Open Back Design

I rarely write reviews so that's saying something about how impressed by these headphones I am. By no means am I an expert. My hifi setup consists of a NAD amp with B&W speakers. On the go I use some nice IEMs - Sleek SA6. Read more or see product

I bought these headphones to replace studio monitors in my new loft (cant have the cops knocking everytime I cut a track). They plug straight into my Pro-Tools rig with the 1/4 jack and right off the bat you'll notice that... Read more
