The HD 600 is a classic open back headphone known for neutral, revealing sound and a spacious, speaker like presentation that works well for music, mixing, and gaming. The tuning is not bass heavy, so vocals and midrange stand out, and the imaging can make instruments and enemy positions easy to place. It also has a long reputation for lasting well, with replaceable parts and strong support for amp pairings, especially tube amps. The main caveat is power, since it benefits from a capable amplifier, and the open design will not block room noise.
Listeners who want a neutral, mid-forward headphone for critical listening because it stays revealing and sounds right with a capable amplifier.
Gamers who need precise positional cues because the open-back design creates a spacious soundstage that makes left-right-behind placement easy to hear.
They can play from a phone, interface, or other device, but they really wake up with a capable amp. The 300-ohm impedance means more power helps, and tube amps or balanced amp setups are specifically recommended for best sound.
The HD 600 is tuned very neutrally rather than as a bass-heavy or V-shaped headphone. It can sound mid-forward and has less bass and soundstage than some higher-end models, which is why it is often favored for critical listening and mixing.
The open-back design creates a wider, more room-like soundstage that makes instrument placement easier to pinpoint in 3D space. That same spatial presentation is useful in games for locating sounds like enemies to the left, right, or behind you.
Yes. The HD 600 uses resin-polymer construction, and every part can reportedly be replaced without tools because Sennheiser sells replacement parts. That makes it easier to keep them going long term.
The HD 600 is generally described as the more neutral option, while the HD 650 and HD 6XX are the alternatives some people compare against. In direct A/B listening, the HD 600 was preferred for its more neutral tuning.
Think this is the lowest price they have ever been, besides maybe the one off price mistake for $99. I missed that one and not sure if a lot of people were able to get it at that price.
I was trying to resist buying since I already have the 6xx, but I broke and ended up buying these 😬
Sennheiser Outlet had a bunch of refurbished ones they dropped onto Amazon for $119 back in 2019. I bought 1, and it was pretty much new condition, I noticed it stuck around for several days until someone posted it on Slick Deals, and it sold out almost immediately. I should have bought a 2nd at that price. Mines been excellent.
Agreed- I am kicking myself for buying this when it was 250ish a few months ago.
For a few minutes, I entertained buying another just because of the price, but that would be gratuitous.
I got my Arya stealth for a little more than these Sennheiser HD 600 headphones... they aren't in the same universe. Arya stealth are God tier for the price. These aren't planar. I do worry about the longevity of the arya stealth though. I hear some people have had the phones just die suddenly. Probably because of the paper thin planar magnets. So having a backup is a nice idea for that.
I just picked up my Arya Stealth a few days ago and am loving them! However, I am also looking for a good daily driver for every day use as well and this might just be it.
Planars are known to be extremely fragile - just even dropping them a few feet above onto carpet significantly reduces their lifespan. They have to be babied.

I've been doing that for sure. I store the headphones in the fabric drawstring bag so that no dust accumulates on the magnet.
Open back design creates more space/soundstage in the sound compared to closed back headphones. So for instance when listening to music it will sound like you are sitting in a room and you can pinpoint where the musical instrument is in 3D space. Because of this they are also excellent for video games (an enemy is to my left/right/behind/etc)
Open backed headphones don't isolate you from sounds in the room the way closed back do. People describe them as sounding more natural and speaker like. Closed back keep room sound out and headphone sound in. Neither is better, it's just a question of what you want.
My all time favorite pair of headphones, highly recommended. I have gone through countless 1k+ and a few 2k+ pairs in the past and always returned to these. They have a very neutral sound signature and aren't bass monsters, which can make them sound mid-forward compared to many other headphones with a more v-shaped sound signature, but to me they just sound right. No other headphone has spooked me so often with a moment of "was that in the song or in the room with me"? Lastly, they'll probably work OK with whatever device you have on hand, but at 600ohms they like a lot of power and will really wake up with a more capable amplifier.
