Sennheiser HD 600

Heard a lot of good things about these headphones, they arrived quickly and I was excited to use them. However they just didn't produce what I was wanting from a fairly expensive pair of headphones.

I would say the base is lacking slightly and it sdoesbt have enough power to really drive through when your listening. Maybe an amp would be required to really enjoy these headphones but alas I do not own one.

They are extremely comfortable however and they fit perfectly, the design is amazing and you can't fault the way they were packaged.

Overall a solid 6/10. Disappointed to say the least with the sound design but comfortably the nicest wearing headphones I've tried.

I listen to prog rock, rock, pop, psychedelia, classic rock and I quite quickly noticed the bass was very loud and close to the ear, it overpowered the music. A HD650 cable improved or changed the sound, then after 11 hours burning pink noise the sound changed a lot, another 8 hours even more (then slower as I burned in). The bass became quiet and subdued without definition and it doesn't go low enough. I like normal bass in my music. I was listening via the unbalanced socket in a RME 96/32 sound card and with a Cyrus Soundkey. So unfortunately I can't recommend this headphone. Because of the bass, I also burned the headphone in with brown nois, as well as a bit of music, probably 70+ hours in total.
