Verdict
The short version
In this review, I discuss my experience with the Sennheiser HD600 headphones, including some of the potential pros and cons associated with this product. The sound performance stands out, with an excellent combination of fine-tuned clarity, neutral sound, and impressive nuances in both mids and highs. However, these headphones require high-quality audio sources, being less forgiving with poor-quality files. The headphones are comfortable to use, thanks to their plush ear cups and adjustable headband, but their build quality initially seems somewhat questionable. Lastly, while the mid-range clarity is impressive, the bass response could be more robust. These headphones also require potentially costly replacements for certain components over time. Regardless, I believe it offers excellent value for money, significantly improving the listener's music appreciation. HiFi Specs score from 9 rated aspects · compared across 20 headphones
