"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.

Summary: null

Pros: realistic sound and flat response

Cons: high impedance needs high power

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 ... read more >>

"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 r... read more >>

"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.

Summary: null
