CNET editors' review
Sennheiser HD 600 price range: $399.95 - $399.99

The good: Sennheiser's high-end open-air headphones deliver deep bass, luxuriously padded ear cups, and a replaceable cord for a more economical price than their flagship model.
The bad: Expensive; not the best solution for portable listening; gray and black plastic finish doesn't scream high end.
The bottom line: The Sennheiser HD 600 headphones are a good choice for home listening if you're willing to pay for high-quality sound.

Among the very best there is.
Pros: Incredible sound quality, especially when coupled with an aftermarket cable like the Equinox, Silver Dragon or Cardas and a headphone amp. Very comfortable design, considering the apparent bulk of these cans. Audiophile headphone addicts will love this
Cons: Sennheiser HAD to go and create the HD650 (sigh); now I'm contemplating putting my HD600 set on eBay and getting the even more incredible HD650s instead. Gets really pricey with the add-on gear suggested above.

The best value for money headphones on the market
by ipillow on January 21, 2012
Pros: Their sweet open air sound is so sweat and smooth. Do yourself a favour and connect them to a quality headphone amp to get the most out of them. Live music is full of soul and character.
Cons: Their price initially seems expensive until you seriously sample a range of headphones both cheaper and more expensive, once your've done this their price then seems like a bargain. A quality headphone amp is required to get the best out of them
Summary: Once your've owned these headphones for a few weeks you will see them for what they are, the best value for money headphones on the market for audio purists....

Amazing Clarity

Pros: Clarity

When I saw the price at MacMall, I couldn't pass them up!
I haven't been disappointed. I listened through electrostatic phones before and these come as close to anything I've seen.
At $270 that's an amazing value.
Thanks MacMall for making me an offer I couldn't refuse! -
It tells you WHAT you are listening to.
by luckygregthegreek on January 9, 2009
Pros: Ease. I mean it can not get any better for the dollars spent here. Very comfortable. Let me just say when you can not play your system, these headphones do not even make you feel like you have been left out. I check to see if i have my speakers on.
Cons: The one thing I do not like about this product; Is that it lets you know how much money you wasted on a supposedly high level recording that you bought. The truth hurts sometimes. But I love it HERE!
Summary: OK, I have a McIntosh system. Good, clean sound. Great Pioneer Elite CD/DVD player. These headphones let you know that you got your monies worth on the system, along ...
Summary: OK, I have a McIntosh system. Good, clean sound. Great Pioneer Elite CD/DVD player. These headphones let you know that you got your monies worth on the system, along with the headphones. Basically, these 600HD's tell you alot.
I could not have expected more, even if I spent a few dollars more. Listen to Ravel's - "BOLERO", Mark Isham's "CASTALIA" CD and Johnny A.-"Someday Tuesday Morning" CD. and Jeff Beck's "Guitar Shop". Thanks for reading, G -
The Best There Is... If...

Pros: Sound Quality
Cons: Color is Pewtrid
Summary: If you're prepared to invest in a great DAC/CDP (Rega Saturn, Marantz SA8100, CA 840C, Monarchy M24, etc.), a great head amp (e.g. X-CANv8, or DV332, or ...
Summary: If you're prepared to invest in a great DAC/CDP (Rega Saturn, Marantz SA8100, CA 840C, Monarchy M24, etc.), a great head amp (e.g. X-CANv8, or DV332, or SP Extreme, etc.), and... "de'veil" them, as well as buy the HD650 cable, or RAL Cryo-Silver cable - you'll find it very hard to find anything better, if as good.

Summary: I've had my HD600 for a couple years and they are the reference for your music. They are high impedance and will not perform adequately without a separate headphone amplifier if you are not using a high-end stereo system. They sound awesome. You won't believe what you hear with these. You will hear the singers breath in the microphone, the fingers on the guitar strings, and a band member strike a match to light a cigarette. They sound best with vinyl records. They are so true to the source that MP3's will sound tinny and weak (because they are). If you insist on using these with an Ipod or other mediocre source, buy a headphone amplifier, such as one from Ray Samuels, and though it's expensive you will hear everything the Ipod has to offer (which isn't much when you're accustomed to audiophile CD players and stereo amps.) If you enjoy your portable music, don't buy these because the revelation will forever take away the joy of your ipod or zunepod. If you want to listen at home, buy these to find out if your stereo system is up to snuff. If these don't sound good at home, get better equipment, because it's not the headphones.
Few "receivers" or stereo amplifiers sold in consumer stores will probably have enough power at the headphone outlet to adequately drive these phones, but if you do have a good amp or are using a separate headphone amp with these, you will hear heavenly music.
These also sound great with a good quality home CD player, in addition to a vinyl turntable. The CD's will sound great. The reaction you will have, and your friends too when they try them, is "You can hear everything!" -
great sound for home use, comfortable
by paskunyak on May 14, 2008
Pros: excellent sound, good comfort for long listening sessions
Cons: not for mp3/iPod, not for loud environments(outdoors)

Summary: As one reader put it, they are for serious home listening only, I don't even like using them with my computer, only my home stereo. I bought them for the combination of comfort and sound which I'd rate as 8 and 10 respectively, hence my 9 overall rating.
I disagree with the other reader who gave them a 6, if you use them outdoors with MP3s they are worse than that, but indoors with CDs, they are great. These phones are made for music lovers. Cheaper phones will be fine for most pop crap, but if you want to listen to music that was excellently recorded and produced - classical, folk, all acoustic music, jazz and some rock, these will do a great job at home. Try the new Sony MP3 player with noise reducing ear buds for outdoors - well reviewed by CNet and my friend's daughter says it works well even on a very noisy band bus. -
Fantastic for the price - 650 anyone?
Pros: Clarity, Bass, precision, and price, Very light and comfortable, wear all night without any stress.
Cons: The new HD650s! They are open headphone so they let outside noise in. as do all at this level, excluding the in-ear quality 'phones.
