Exceptional
Rich neutral sound. Enough bass, but not overwhelming. Bright treble, but not too bright that it pierces the ears. Look forward for the next 600 series

HD600: The transparant benchmark
I got these wonderfull headphones after searching for a worthy replacement of my first serious pair of Sennheisers, the vintage HD480 classic II from 1989. I still have them, and besides the replacement of earcushions, I really like how they sound -still- after almost 40 years! Back to the HD600: As a serious music lover and owner of a small project recording studio, I appreciate their transparant and balanced charmanter. I wanted a pair of headphones that translate the music honest and clear. And that’s what they do. I can use these to mix on, albeit with some room correction plugin, but the main purpose is to listen to music. They are very comfortable, not too heavy and the build quality seems decent! I also like that they are made in Ireland, just like my HD480 classics. At first, I wasn’t sure if open back headphones are something I would like: (majority of my other headphones are studiograde closed ones), but: the open back design makes them breath more, withouts sounding thin. Well done again, Sennheiser!

Pristine clarity
I would characterise the sound of these headphones as pristine and clean. They are refined and elegant in the way that Swiss or German chocolate is refined or elegant. Reviews on them often point to the fact that they are lacking in bass. This is not true. I have them connected to a DAC, permanently wired to my computer. I have set the software EQ of the DAC to have enough bass to fill a troll's cavern. The bass will not drown out the refinement of the sound at the high end. There are moments, while listening to a song, where I would just go, "Oomph!", as the sound hits me. I've just had them for one week so, I'm still playing around with the different parameters. But, I've seen enough to know that my quest for perfect headphones can end here. It probably won't but.....it can. The reason why I haven't given them 5 stars is because they are not perfect. But, they are close.

Only headphone to Live By Human Morale Code!
Had it for 14 years and so far I love it! It's the only headphone that made me gain IQ by taking magic mushroom and I kid you not, I fell in love with humanity and myself! I only had to change ear pads and the top about 2 times and I need more OEM. I feel that the HD600 is one of the best warm headphones that reminds me of stars when I look at the marbles.

A Well Deserved Classic Earns It’s Reputation
These headphones live up to their reputation as a great value in high fidelity music listening. They reproduce mid-frequencies with excellent detail and realistic sound. I couldn’t be happier with them.

Balanced cable
I bought the head phones couple of months ago and not really happy, finally I had to replace the main cable to acquire another cable to have a balanced sound connecting in to a FiiO K7 amplifier, any ways I am quiet happy even the extra expense required
