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.

Famous monitor headphones
The six hundredth series from the German wizards from Sennheiser is another timeless classic that cannot be ignored when talking about thoroughbred sound. Since their release, a lot of water has flowed under the bridge and a clear divide has appeared: sound engineers and directors prefer the scrupulous analytical nature of the HD 650, while music lovers choose the slightly more accessible and “hi-fi” HD 600. more honest and less coloured.
Perfect for instrumental music
And this is perhaps the most interesting part of the story. In fact, all 600s are meticulously analytical, so under the description card in the store you can stumble upon two diametrically opposed comments, in the first the author will swear eternal love for the HD 600, in the other he will wonder who buys them at all. It's really a matter of taste. Plus, a lot depends on what exactly you will listen to in them. For example, aggressive techno, in which kicks are literally beaten in the chest - not their forte at all. Lacks dynamics and so to speak juiciness. Here, some JBLs for a hundred evergreens do a better job. If you love jazz, orchestral music and instrumental music, then for $400 you will hardly find a better option. The naturalness of timbres and the separation of instruments are simply fantastic. The main thing is to have a high-quality amplifier and a well-mastered phonogram. Otherwise, instead of enjoying the music, you will listen to the jambs of the recording. It is for this talent to pull out the smallest mistakes that professional sound engineers love them so much.
Maximum comfort
The appearance of the Sennheiser HD 600 is no less interesting. The company's designers have created a neat and attention-grabbing case that you want to put in the most prominent place on your desktop and not hide anywhere for as long as possible. The combination of mesh-covered cups, felt inserts, and ceramic-look plastics worked surprisingly well. The design itself is well-assembled and inspires confidence. The earphones are light and damn comfortable, they sit perfectly on your head, giving you the opportunity to not pay attention to the comfort parameter during long hours of work. As with many of the company's flagship models, felt was used for the ear cushions, but it takes time to get used to.
