Probably the best headphones you can buy at $200

if you are looking for an enjoyable headphone. One that is pleasant and pleasing to listen to after a long day at work, just get a pair of these. I have had mine since the end of 2016. I was able to jump into the original drop of the HD6xx. I have bought several other headphones throughout this time and I always ended up with these.

the 6xx lacks quantity in bass, but it does not lack quality. it has enough for genres like Jazz, not enough for other genres though. I am currently powering my 6xx through the Massdrop Liquid Carbon and it just such a beautiful pairing. There is zero fatigue. the liquid carbon adds a bit of umph on the bass too.

these are great headphones for vocals. Male & female

After almost 3 years of buying and selling headphones, these are still sitting on my desk, because I have not found a better value than these anywhere

Would recommend to a friend.

A Top-Notch Experience From Beginning To End!

From the painless ordering process to making sure that the product arrived on time professionally packaged, along with an invoice to the actual product itself - the HD 6XX - Wow! I have been listening to music for over 40 years and have never heard my music like this before. Little nuances that were never heard before come out here. Not like hearing it for the first time, but like hearing a different mix of the same song.  Very impressive Drop, please give yourselves a big hand for making these beautiful headphones even more available for all to enjoy!

What are "open back headphones"?

thomsonSMG

Open backs project sound both towards your ears and out the sides of the earpieces. This makes the sound feel as if they are coming from further away. Good for replicating the directions of where each vocals and instruments are coming from; like at a concert. Close backs sound as if the music is coming from the centre of your head; you get less "directional" experience but they feel more intimate. Open backs leak sound so if you are riding on public transport, the people sitting next to you might look at you sideways wonder why you are playing music for everyone around you. Most high end headphones are open back so don't worry about losing any sound quality from the leakage!

Great Headphones for Most People

These things sound amazing. Really crisp, detailed, clean sounds. The earcups fit over my ears with so issues. I didn't realize how "open" these open backs were, when you put them on you can still hear everything around you like you had them off. Whether it helps the sound is honestly hard to say, but it honestly is nice if you're in a place that doesn't need isolation. You don't need an amp like others say, but depending on the device your listening from it may help. My iPhone 13 Pro Max was able to get these to what I consider reasonably loud volumes. Anything older or with a smaller battery/output volume may have trouble reaching high volumes. The headband foam on top isn't comfortable to me. It's rather firm and has two "humps" that sit on your head. The little humps become uncomfortable pretty quick and more "dig: into my head than "sit". These need to be handled with care, I'm not confident these would survive getting thrown around and they wouldn't travel well. Overall I'm very happy with my purchase. These frequently go on sale for $200 and at that price they're perfect. If you want some solid headphones that have top-notch sound, these are for you.

Sonic Yummy

Found it to be well driven and a beautiful sound with a Jotunheim & Aries 2, well matched with a Dragonfly Cobalt and on high gain, a stack is a fine match for music, gaming and shows. Light & low profile design is an ergo pleasure.

Brief and helpful Utube vid by Keaton Smiley on loosening clamping force will do the trick too.

HD6XX the greatest CP value headphone

Great cost-performance open-back headphone. If you enjoy the taste of Sennheiser, it is worthwhile to first try HD6XX first for music enjoyment and later invest HD800 series for audiophile details.

Nice Headphones

Ordered shipped in late March, and it seemed that starting with this batch of HD6xx, they longer come with the nice box for the headphones. However, headphones are still great and should last you for a long time.

Broke after 2 year warranty period :(

Great headphones, loved them. But two months after the warranty period, one of the drivers failed. I would recommend getting the 3 year warranty for these headphones.

So far so great!

I've using this headphone for last 2 years now and it's been pressure to listen this thing man~. I've connected it with Zen Dac&Can and it's even better. 100% recommend!!
