Sennheiser HD600 Headphone Review - Do They Hold Up to Their Reputation in 2023?

Brilliant review as usual! I really appreciate the effort you make to show us an objective opinion based on data and analysis.

I've really been enjoying this channel. As a musician/hobbyist, it's really fun learning all the different equipment and what may work best for my studio. I've searched all throughout your channel, and I don't see any videos dedicated to studio monitor controllers. I think it would be great if you could give insight to monitor controllers. So people like passive (Big knob, etc.), but I think I'd prefer an active controller. Even getting some insight on something like the Behringer Control2USB all the way through something like the M905 or the API MC531. So many choices and decisions, and that last thing I'd want for a monitor controller to do is change the sound in any way shape or form for the worst. Take care, and thanks for all the great content!

great headphones for shooters, you can pinpoint sound locations very well. I hear footsteps and other enemy actions my teammates can only dream of hearing.

Great review. The HD600 are definitely a legendary and reliable pair of headphones for critical listening and mixing applications. I would also like to see a review of the AKG K712 PRO open back studio headphones, these are headphones made for "precise listening, mixing and mastering". I would love to see them be reviewed and measured. Thanks for the awesome content.

Amazing review!! Can you please recommend the best headphone for an aspiring voice actor? My primary purpose is to monitor my own voice recording and recordings by other voice actors. I pay most attention to the micro accents and nuances on the spoken words. Thanks!

I believe the HD490 Pro is even better for mixing, more comfortable and Sennheiser has done a great job extending both the bass and treble responses. The HD600 has a boost in the 1-3kHz region, then nose-dive after that, the HD490 extends it all the way to 8kHz, so you can hear bad mixing more clearly.

Bright mids, softened treble, tame bass is how I describe these. Pleasant. With some eq they do fine for the price paid, to my ears.

Thank you for the detailed review. Waiting to see the review of Aune AR5000 , ATH-R70x compared to HD600.

I appreciate your objective evaluations. I'm curious about headphones with USB and/or bluetooth connectivity. A lot of console gaming has limited connectivity issues, so I want transparent-sounding headphones that actually work. Ideally, if you could provide open-back and closed-back options, that'd be swell.

Great review :=)

I was able to compensate for the lacking bass with Sound ID Reference (formerly sonarworks), they have a premade custom profile for these that makes them sound much better.

If you've had these for a few years with a lot of use, and you feel the sound isn't quite what is was when new, you must replace the earpads. Old worn out ear pads really take away from the sound. Particularly the already weak bass response and airiness to the treble fade away as the pads wear down.

Thank you so much for this important review😊. In your opinion, which headphones are the best if I want to consider all the important elements in the sound - neutrality, details, resolution, and soundstage? The Sennheiser HD 600 or other headphones? Thanks in advance

HD600 is a great pair of headphones. I have been using it for years.

Why driver should we use for these headphones?

Sir for gaming, console only, which headphone would you recommend? mic do not matter, i want wide soundstage and bass and a technical question, what makes soundstage wide? is it the frequencies like the hi res ones that typically have 5hz-40hz?

That sine sweep does my head in

Hello how would you describe these against the HD400 you reviewed which are basically the 560s with different look and coil cable. Comfort and sound quality for spoken word, editing and transcribing (separation in instruments) or other recommendations? Open back design. Thank you so much very informative and new way of reviewing headphones. From a professional doing professional work! Thanks

is that true that HD600 is just good for music that have emphasys or as the main instrument vocals? I'm searching about and found lot informations that HD 600 has a significant drop in bass and the 3k hz is very pronounced and in front of everything. Thanks for the great work on the video :)

can you try the Beyerdynamic TYGR 300r if you can get ahold of a set? Test with stock pads and silver pads for 880 as well as the inner pads to see if there is a difference?
