Thank you for another amazing, balanced review that has made me part with cash again. 😊 I have a high end Tube Amplifier, high end speakers and a high end headphone amplifier feeding the ZMF Verite closed. BUT, honestly feeding the 600’s with the Mscaler and the Chord Hugo 2 is the most magical experience of my musical journey. It highlights what you have taught me about the synergy / matching of components. THANK YOU.

Apart from the stage size I can't think of much to criticize.

Hallelujah, thanks for mentioning about sources! I think the ie900 offers great value at its price too (don't have 600). One interesting thing I found for myself, is that the ie900 sounds eerily similar to an hd800s (on the same chain). Of course they are still different but, to me, it's like they shoved the 800s in an iem shell and gave it lots of subbass texture, then called it a day. It's probably not a common take but it was interesting to hear that they were very very similar, at least to me.

got a chance to demo the IE600 in store yesterday, boyyy is it a bass canon, reminds me of sony headphones like the Z7 and 7506. If you're coming from Sennheiser open backs then it's gonna be a shock to the system. I feel like cheaper IEMs like the ER2XR and blessing 2/3 does bass and even midrange better than Sennheiser. Their IE series lacks ear gain for some reason unlike their headphones. Anywho that's my impression, hopefully senneheiser can improve on this since I find their in-ear design to be super comfortable!

Yes, the IE600 is also a strong technical IEM even though it's not tuned to exaggerate the technicalities like a lot of IEMs. All driver setups have their pros and cons. Multi-driver designs might be able to respond better to rapid fluctuations in the signal, but they bring challenges around coherency because of all the separate sound sources and the need to align their timing precisely. Single driver designs offer coherency in imaging that a multi-driver can rarely match without spending a lot of money.

The reality of IEMs is that you're losing the natural effect of the sound entering your ear canals from outside and the reflections that occur from your pinnae (the flappy part of the ear). Some IEMs can produce a larger sense of space than others, but they'll never really sound like headphones unfortunately. Probably some of the most spacious I've heard without spending a fortune are the 7Hz Timeless.

Might get these or the IE 400's. But I tried the IE 200 and the eartips sucked imo, and had to return the headphones. The silicone tips were flimsy and didn't form a seal, and while the foam tips formed a seal and sounded good they were blocky and very uncomfortable to me. I had some Sennheiser CX300S earbuds from a few years ago and they were great. But Sennheiser changed the design and ruined those. Seems also that they use the same unpopular, crappy eartips across their whole IEM range, which is mind boggling. They invest all this engineering in fancy aerospace housing, and then give subpar eartips. If I could definitely find some good aftermarket tips I'd prob pull the trigger on the IE 400's. But not sure what would work. Got some Shure SE215's recently and those are quite comfortable, so maybe some Comply Foam eartips would be similar to the Shure eartips

Cool video, the ie600 has to be the best DD I’ve heard yet. The price point is perfect for what it has to offer

It's definitely very impressive at the price and is wonderfully coherent thanks to the single driver design

Have you heard IE400? That has 99% of the full range sound at 60% the price point.

IE600 is one of the best IEMs on the market. I love them. But their tips and cable are complete fail. Stock tips have very bad seal, I've never seen such bad tips before, even on chinese IEMs. The cable is too stiff. Be ready to buy better tips and cable.

I'm with you on the tips - they're very comfortable, but can take me 3-4 tries to get a seal. I personally like the cable.

I bought the IE600 and FH7S at the same time - Returning the 600 - it’s engineered Great. Sounds amazing. Just not my sound. When listening to certain NIN tracks, or Portishead, or even some ambient electronic, the IE600 just sounded flat compared to the FH7S .

That's really interesting. Thanks for sharing your experiences. What source were you using for them? (Not asking to make you wrong, just curious on the synergies)

The ie900 is suck for me Piercing treble and lack of pinna gain kill if for me, can't bare for more than 30s, and as a a12t user that have been retune to have more pinna gain than even u12t, ie900 technically is nothing special for me Ie600 on the other hand : very good, just pretty v-shaped and not really my cup of tea and I still would pick something like moondrop variation or s8(or even a used kse1200 and qudelix 5k to eq it), but still way better than ie900 because it actually have pinna gain and don't follow that "western" tunning.

Can you review the new hd 600
@PassionforSound
Жыл бұрын
Possibly, but as far as I can tell it sounds the same as the old one so not sure if Sennheiser will be sending out any review units. I've got HD820 and the HDVD820 amp here now so I'll need to get those wrapped up first

Good that you stuck with what you enjoy rather than being swayed by any hype. We actually all hear IEMs quite differently - I've got a video on it coming soon

Greta review but IE600 is not the best in this series. The real value is with IE400 which is a stunning full range IEM. The increment to 600 is marginal.

Man I wanna watch your video but you've no energy or vibes. I saw a video of you making a headphone comparison blind test. In real life you sound different and energetic but here it's like you're putting a personal. It's so weird
