The Sennheiser HD 600 headphones provide a high-end experience for a price that's not over the top. Instead of leather, a cloth padding provides an extremely comfortable listening experience.

Luxuriously padded earcups; Included adaptor

Expensive; Not the best solution for portable listening; Grey and black plastic finish doesn't scream high end

I have been into Hi Fi for a number of years and currently have a Cirus SL Amp Arcam Alpha 7se CD, B&W 602 S2 and a REL Q400 sub. I have bought numerous amounts of headphones, mostly in ear types for walkmans etc, they have all been broken or lost. The HD 600?

The best sound you will get from HP's; Bass Responce; Comfort

Need decent current to drive them; Almost as loud on the outside

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.

Brilliant mid and vocal sounds; Prominent strong bass

Clamping effect on some people's heads; Costly; Treble rolloff

Sennheiser makes some very nice audiophile approved headphones. The HD600's are definitely one of their top products. A very nice set of cans that will allow you to listen to a wide range of music, without a fatiguing experience. Pros: + Impressive Sennheiser soundstage presentation...

I'm still looking for headphones that perfectly meet the requirements mentioned above for recording. Nevertheless, these are excellent headphones for listening, and even for my purposes to a large degree. In this price range, the HD600s are the best I'm aware of.

These headphones still are some of the best ever made. Most limitations are due to hearing acuity rather than HD600 performance. I have multiple sets of headphones including the HD 800's. The HD 600's are my favorite and most used.

Produces the sounds of all genres of music as recorded; You hear what was intended to be heard

Headband could have be in different colors and patterns

Open headphones. Used since 2007 to mix, in addition to pregnant MSP5 Yam (recently traded for Solo6 Be

The HD600, HD650 and Q701 are in the same class of higher end sound. The rest of my headphones fall below. The next class is HD595 and ATM-500. I will say my QC15 are fantastic noise cancelling but with major quality issues of one side quiting out.

Out of all the headphones I have, I find the HD600 the most enjoyable; The HD650 are at times better but overall I enjoy the HD600 the most, I have SR-60, SR-80, HD555, HD595, HD600, HD650, AKG Q701, ATM-50, Bose QC15 and some various earbuds

There is always better; but these are great headphones

With the extensive description on your site, I did not feel the need to do more research which I tend to overdue. I had a terrible buying experience a few times and vowed to never go back. I called the Help Center that Sonic offers to have a few questions answered about these headphones.

It's not often that I review headphones as most of the models I've heard aren't much to write home about. However, upon speaking with Ivy Scull of HeadRoom, she sold me with a pretty convincing argument about the sonic joys of a quality set of cans (headphones that is).

Phenomenal fidelity; Unparalleled comfort; Works well with a variety of sources

Big and bulky; Too nice for a travel companion
