Experience Legendary Sound: The Sennheiser HD600 Headphones - A Masterclass in Audio Fidelity.
A meticulously detailed audio reproduction is what the Sennheiser HD600 headphones deliver, featuring an incredibly authentic bass response paired with crisply defined highs. This exceptional auditory experience is brought to life by the HD600 Avantgarde open dynamic headphones. Engineered for the audiophile, these professional-grade high-fidelity stereo headphones are equipped with a cutting-edge diaphragm designed to eradicate standing waves, ensuring pure, undistorted sound.
Our Team opinion
The HD 600 stands out not just for its strong and resonant low end, featuring deep yet controlled bass, but also for its well-tempered midrange, where accuracy and immaculate fidelity shine, especially notable at this price point. The high end is rich in detail, perfectly balanced to avoid brightness or harshness, making strings and vocals gleam with smooth fluidity. While it may not offer the same level of openness as some higher-priced open-back models, the HD 600 impressively presents accurate instrument placement and a substantial depth of sound. It's one of our favorites, consistently esteemed as a gold standard in mid-fi audio, delivering exceptional quality without breaking the bank.
Engineered for absolute clarity
The HD 600 is the audio purist’s choice for reference playback. An
instrument of Sennheiser’s passion for perfect sound, it is globally
recognized as the standard for analytical high-fidelity listening - even
20-plus years after its release.
X-Ray Specs
The HD 600 was developed to give audiophiles an impartial scale of everything before it in the audio chain.
Purpose-built to vanish when the listener presses “play”, the HD 600
is the benchmark reference headphone for both analyzing and enjoying
your hi-fi setup. This disappearing act starts with an innovative,
systematic approach to sound reproduction using transparency as the
driving principle. Leveraging Sennheiser’s progressive production
techniques and computer-based transducer optimization, it perfectly
fuses the art of sound with the science of it.
Opening Up Your Mind
The HD 600 features an open-back design for a natural listening experience, with sound waves expanding freely. Its 42mm driver, free from turbulence and distortion, is complemented by acoustic silk for optimal airflow control and ultralight aluminum voice coils for precise detail. This setup ensures an articulate sound across all frequencies, with a 300-ohm impedance enhancing music nuances. Each transducer is meticulously calibrated for consistent performance, offering a mastering-grade sound that transcends room acoustics and speaker positioning.
Quality Control
Sennheiser worked tirelessly to build a headphone with the luxurious comfort and lasting durability audiophiles demand.
The velour HD 600 padding is supple to the touch for extended
listening at your hi-fi stack. Even the earcup grille pattern was
crafted specifically for this transducer system, guaranteeing a pristine
personal sound experience. The HD 600 is assembled in Ireland at a
state-of-the-art production facility with the attention to detail
required to handle a wide variety of acoustic materials. Our production
tolerances are extremely tight, ensuring that your HD 600 experience is
consistent with those all over the globe, whenever or wherever it was
purchased. For example, the resonators feature stainless steel mesh to
guarantee uniform performance after manufacturing. Most parts on the HD
600 are modular, making it a dream to keep operational as the go-to
reference headphones regardless of your listening space’s acoustics.
It’s All About Connection
Your HD 600 comes with a detachable, impedance-matched cable with ultra-low capacitance.
The ¼-inch / 6.3mm stereo connector offers the audiophile-standard
plug for connection to devices such as headphone amplifiers and A/V
receivers, digital audio players, analog gear, and more. At 9.8 feet /
3m long, it offers unencumbered listening on gear deep within your
shelves or in a favorite listening chair. A premium adapter is included
to reduce the 6.3mm to 3.5mm / ⅛-inch for plugging into countless other
audio devices.
