Sennheiser IE 600 review – one of the most advanced in-ear headphones from the manufacturer
The IE 600 is one of the most advanced in-ear headphones from Sennheiser. It's not a flagship, but it has the first tier of non-customized in-ear headphones for low frequencies. It is a great choice for people who love pop music and prefer mid-range and vocal, medium and high frequencies are not stimulating, and intense music is not harsh. The influence of resonance frequency caused by the length of individual ear canal on high frequency is suppressed, so treble clarity can be improved greatly.
What the Pros Said about Sennheiser IE 600?
Flimypark: Sennheiser’s new audiophile in-ear headphones IE 600 are made of advanced metal, similar to that used in the drilling head of NASA’s Mars Rover, and have many of the same acoustic attributes as Sennheiser’s higher-end IE 900 model ($1,299).
Prokerala: The IE 600 delivers a neutral reference tuning, which will be appreciated by fans of neutral headphones. The IE 600 features industry-leading miniature transducer technology, which is only available in the most expensive headphones. The IE 600 will be a reference for the most demanding mobile audio enthusiasts.
Head-fi.org: The IE600 is an IEM that delivers exactly what it promises: full-spectrum response, with an emphasis on clarity and precision.
Tom’s Guide: While ‘wired’ headphones have always had superior sound quality, ‘wireless’ headphones have tended to prioritize convenience over performance. So, the Sennheiser IE 600 may not be the most accessible product in the company's lineup, but if you're serious about mobile listening and have already invested in a dedicated digital audio player, these headphones will deliver high-quality sound in a portable package.
Headfonics: They are indeed lightweight, so you won't feel any undue pressure inside the ear. However, the more noticeable pressure will come from the memory-forming jacket over the top of your ear, which can get a bit chilly on a winter’s morning.
