Product specification Headphones Sennheiser HD 600

The Sennheiser HD 600 are open-back, wired circumaural headphones designed for audiophile and professional use. They deliver natural, spatial and accurate sound reproduction with a frequency response of 12–40,000 Hz and an impedance of 300 Ohm. The headphones feature an elegant black and grey finish, a comfortable headband wearing style and a detachable 3 m OFC copper cable with 3.5 mm/6.3 mm compatibility.

Advantages

The HD 600 combine a sophisticated black-and-grey design with high-quality open metal mesh earpiece covers that provide extremely transparent sound. Computer-optimised magnet systems minimise harmonic and intermodulation distortion while lightweight aluminium voice coils improve transient response. Neodymium ferrous magnets deliver optimum sensitivity and a wide dynamic range, producing exceptionally natural and spatial sound. The detachable OFC copper cable reduces handling noise and allows convenient connection options.
