Sennheiser HD 600 are full-size open-back headphones that entered the market in the early 2000s and have not lost their relevance ever since. They belong to the upper price segment and are the younger brother of the famous HD 650, which, decades later, continue to enjoy wild success. The model has a typical Sennheiser character, with an emphasis on detail and a flat frequency response.
Like all brothers in the 600 series, it stands out for its high information content, with a lot of detail in the middle and upper frequency spectrum. True, this requires a high-quality signal source with a good preamplifier (receiver, sound card, etc.), since the device drivers have a high resistance of 300 ohms. The drivers are manufactured using an optimized magnet system with a minimum of harmonic distortion (< 0.1%).
An important element of the transducers is a specially designed acoustic silk, which guarantees uniform damping over the entire surface of the transducers. To maintain a high quality bar, the company's engineers manually select pairs of emitters so that the distortion in volume does not exceed 1 dB. These headphones perfectly reproduce all the nuances of the articulation of live instruments, allowing their owner to quickly identify inaccuracies in the mix or choose a more suitable instrument.
Like no other in the sub-$400 segment, they handle classical, symphonic orchestrations, jazz and other genres rich in detail, delivering as much information as the source is capable of. The ergonomics of the Sennheiser HD 600 don't lag behind their sound: velvet ear cushions fit perfectly on the ears, a retractable headband with a large and soft cushion provides optimal pressure to the head, and an open design minimizes pressure on the ears, which are caused by closed and semi-open models. To connect to a signal source, a 3-meter Kevlar-reinforced OFC cable with a 3.5-6.3mm adapter is provided, with which the headphones can be connected to both studio and home equipment. The cable is detachable, so it can be replaced if necessary.
Always clarify the specifications and configuration of the product with the online store manager before purchasing.

Famous Monitor Headphones
The six-hundred series from the German wizards at Sennheiser is another timeless classic that cannot be overlooked when discussing high-quality sound. Since their release, much has changed and a clear division has emerged: sound engineers and directors prefer the scrupulously analytical character of the HD 650, while audiophiles choose the slightly more affordable and "hi-fi" HD 600. However, online you may encounter the opinion that the 600s, on the contrary, sound more honest and less colored.
Perfect Choice for Instrumental Music
This is perhaps the most interesting part of the story. In reality, all the 600s have a meticulous analytical character, so under the description card in the store, you might find two diametrically opposed comments: in one, the author will swear eternal love for the HD 600, while in another, they'll wonder who buys them at all. In truth, it's a matter of taste. Plus, it greatly depends on what you will actually listen to with them. For example, aggressive techno, where kicks literally punch you in the chest, is not really their forte. They lack dynamics and, so to speak, juiciness. Here, something like JBL for a hundred bucks would perform better. However, if you love jazz, orchestral, and instrumental music, it's unlikely you'll find a better option for $400. The naturalness of timbres and instrument separation is simply fantastic. The main thing is to have a quality amplifier and a well-mastered recording. Otherwise, instead of enjoying the music, you'll be listening for recording flaws. It’s precisely this talent for bringing out the smallest errors that makes professional sound engineers love them so much.
Maximum Comfort
The appearance of the Sennheiser HD 600 also generates considerable interest. The company's designers have created a neat and attention-grabbing casing that you're inclined to place prominently on your desk, avoiding the urge to hide it away for as long as possible. The combination of mesh-covered cups, felt inserts, and plastic with a ceramic-like texture works surprisingly well. The construction itself is well-assembled and inspires confidence. The headphones are lightweight and incredibly comfortable, fitting the head perfectly, allowing you to not worry about comfort during long hours of work. As with many of the company's flagship models, the ear cushions are made from a comfortable felt that requires some time to get used to.
