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

Of all the headphone specialists, Sennheiser probably offers the broadest and most closely spaced range, with something for practically every conceivable application. Once upon a time, the range included a model called the Orpheus that cost around ￡10,000, however, these days the range tops out just...

Lively; broad dynamics; Attractive and comfortable

Not the most detailed treble

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.

Airy detail and deep base- who would have thought it was possible! A little too much ambient noise for the wife but I love them!

Comfortable; Lightweight; Rich Sound

Not Compatible

I am going against the grain I guess. These cans are good, but they don't live up to the hype. The first time I demoed these they were going through a Creek headphone amp and after 20 minutes my ears were ringing. I told the salesman and he thought I was on glue.

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

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.

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

When Steve Guttenberg reviewed the Sennheiser HD 650 headphones , he rightfully called them "fit for a king" - while noting that they retail for a correspondingly princely sum of AU$900. Thankfully, the HD 650s aren't the only model in Sennheiser's high-end audiophile line.

High-end open-air headphones deliver deep bass; Luxuriously padded ear cups; Replaceable cord for a more economical price than their flagship model

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