Questions & Answers

John G : Is this the marbel body or is it the 2019 model?JAE THOMAS S : These are not the marble headphones, those are considerably more expensive! These are, however, terrific headphones I use myself! :)
ALTON B : how much of an amp is needed?SHERWOOD D : Good question; I decided on the HD600 over the 650 partially because of the 650's need for more power. These are very efficient headphones, and it's possible to drive them even with a small, portable amp, although not anywhere near their peak efficiency. I mostly use them with a dedicated headphone amplifier (the Little Dot MK IV SE tube amp) and they sound great. I'm sure I'd love the HD650 just as much if not more, however, I could only afford one so I went with the reviews and felt the 600's would be well suited for my ears and am very happy with the sound. Could I have done better? Who knows..., for the money these are an excellent choice. (If you require lots of bass you might consider the 650's, although the 600's give a very natural rendition using less power). I hope that helps..., good luck!!ZHUONAN L : Normally 400~500 $ for the amp+dac would be good for hd600s. For the amp itself I suppose 150~300 $ is needed. Actually HD600s are good with cheap amps or even without amps. Of course better amps mean better sound, so it depends on how much money you want to spend.SERGIO B : It definitely needs a lot more than your typical headphone, but honestly I think most people on the web blow it a little out of proportion. Even with my phone it gets a OK signal. Obviously not ideal but listenable. And it works great with my Mbox 3 pro.
HwaPyeong K : How heavy is that?SHICHEN S : Less than a Iphone 6MARK R : According to Google, they weigh 0.57lb (260 g) with cable. They are a lot lighter than they look and I do not find them to be overly heavy. Of course, they do weigh more than some on ear headphones (that sit on top of the ear). They actually cover your entire ear, but the material is very soft and plush. They are lighter than some other similar sized phones. Comfort is very personal thing when it comes to headphones. I like the sound quality more than the Sennheiser HD650 which weigh the same amount, but cost more.SHERWOOD D : Their official weight is 9.4 ounces (just slightly over 1/2 pound). I find them quite comfortable, however, I haven't listened to any other 'high end' headphones. For the money, I was choosing between these and the HD650's - and I'm very satisfied with my decision. I hope this helps.ZHUONAN L : For me it's not heavy. It is a little bit heavier than my HD 558s, but much lighter than my DT 770 pros. I have been listening to it more than 8 hours a day and I haven't felt any uncomfortableness.

Highly recommended for all listeners!

Sennheiser at its' best. Have owned MANY headphones going all the way back to the HD414's bought as a twelve-year-old with lawn mowing money. These are the most comfortable and listenable pair that are my go-to for both films and music. Paired with a quality DAC, the nuances and presence are amazing. Blows away all Bluetooth sets and all but a couple of sub-$600 pairs.

Accurate, flat response

These headphones are both comfortable and sonically accurate. Many professional audio engineers depend on the HD 600s for headphone references, because of the detail and precision that these headphones offer. After hearing about the HD 600s for years, I finally purchased them and am extremely impressed. For anyone who wants to truly hear their music the way the musicians & engineers intended it to sound, these are a must!

A keeper

It's definitely a serious headphone. I heard some sibilance from vocalists I often listen to. I had studied a firm called Sonarworls and their software for headphones before I purchased the HD600.. It works kinda like an equalizer.I felt the HD600 was worthj the additional investment. If it works like I think it will, it'll be perfection. And I hope it is. I don't have it back yet.

Terrific Headphone

I purchased the Sennheiser HD600 after researching headphones on the net. I wanted a well made, comfortable, and sonically accurate headphone that I could connect to my Onkyo receiver. This unit is very impressive and does not disappoint. It is my first pair of cans and I use them primarily for classical music blurays.

Great step up from even "nice" headphones

I currently have this headphone and a Beyerdynamic DT 770 and can tell the difference between the two. The sound is very neutral and very crisp. You should pair a good amp with this. The earpads are very comfortable, although is a bit tight if you have a big head. The cables are detachable, so if they break, you can easily replace them. Overall, great purchase!

Open to change

I haven't owned a pair of open backed earphones in many years due to the fragile nature and repeated repairs to another brand's offering, and while these don't blow me away as much as my first "more expensive than the device to which it's paired" pair they offer excellent sound, comfort, and durability. My older Android phone drives them well enough for casual use, but I use a FiiO E17 to drive them a bit further using a USB micro to mini cable connected to my phone's USB port. Turning off USB charging on the E17 keeps it from draining my phone's battery while in this configuration. My one complaint about the HD600 would be the ridiculously long cable (does 600 denote 600cm?). Nothing that wasn't remedied through a third party replacement (now 1.3m).

Quality over everything

Sennhesier HD 600 are the perfect headphones to listen with your music. You'll hear crisp and snappy feedback. Perfect amp and dac would be Valhalla 2 + Bitfrost. If your on a budget I recommend fiio e17 / with the dock.

HD600s, best headphone under ($), shames Beats

Best headphone before you get into stupid money, which I've spent before for electrostatics. Great value too if you're patient to wait for the occasional sale.Fifty years as a musician, I've bought many different headphones, and these are my favorite. So there was a sale, and I bought a backup pair for the day when my first pair crap out.

As expected

In choosing Sennheiser for my headphone needs, experience with this company over many years did not disappoint with the purchase of the HD600. You get a flat, detailed, smooth response with jazz, classical, latin, and rock. Not edgy, harsh, or sibilant, you can safely listen well into the night. A classic.

Pure Bliss

Amazing audophile headphones. It woould be impossible to describe the quality of the sound adequately. If you have never purchased high quality audio products this would be a great set of headphone to start with. Most people would never need anything more. Adorama kept me updated and the headphones arrived quickly and in perfect condition. Thanks Adorama!

Adorama's was one I couldn'd resist

I've been wanting these for quite some time. I'm getting a bit older, OK a lot older, so I don't think the HD600s would be the R&b listeners may not care for them. They to me a smooth curve thru out the frequencies. No "booming bass". Comparing the rest of my headphones they sit at a level of a accuracy worlds above in sound quality. Not using all the descriptive words that seem common in these reviews they are very comfortable to listen to and wear. Being. A retired aircraft mechanic, sure I have some hearing loss, but I can enjoy music and make it a real pleasure. From Mile Davis, Diana Krall to the Doors I'm in heaven listening to the music from these.
