ONE EQUALISER SETTING TO UNITE THEM ALL
These headphones feel as if they were made from a solid piece of granite. Heavy, tough - the opposite of delicate. The case that they come with also has the same presence - big and resilient-looking. The case reminds me of the kind of make-up cases that women from the 60's used to lug around, though it is not as big. The Sennheiser publicity claims that the cables are kevlar-coated and they feel as such. I wouldn't be surprised if they were fire-proof as well. And now on to the real reason why you are or you should be reading this - the SOUND. Prior to these headphones, I had owned a pair of Pioneer HDJ-500's. I had paid $AUS 150 for them and, for that price, I had expected premium sound. Instead, when I first put them on, my initial and, to-date, current, impression was that I had been cheated. Although the bass was good (they were DJ headphones after all), all the sound was squashed into a narrow space right in front of your eyes (I am being subjectively descriptive but - I am not a sound professional). The Sennheiser HD6 Mix's are $AUS 100 more expensive than the Pioneer headphones. I knew that Sennheiser would have better stereo spread (is that what it is called?) from my experience of testing their products in stores and from owning earphones from them. My initial response from putting these headphones on, however, were - "not impressed." Things sounded bland. OK, the stereo spread was not a problem but where was the touted Sennheiser intricacy and accuracy in sound? At any rate, I was happy that the HD6 Mix's could handle bass almost, if not, as well as the Pioneer HDJ's. I spent the next 2 days reconfiguring the sound equaliser settings of my primary media device. The goal was to come up with one universal setting that did justice to every music style from swing to dubstep. On the 2nd day of my screwing around, while listening to a Blondie track, when the thought - "This is what the track must have sounded like in the 70's when it was first released" - popped into my mind, I stopped. I proceeded to listen to a track from my youth and had an almost physical reaction when I heard things that I had not heard in almost 20 years. Magic! The equaliser settings that I came up with and/or the headphones themselves almost do have a magical quality. Every track has a different character. You do not feel as if you are hearing the different tracks through the same EQ settings, through the same set of headphones. The headphones are very unforgiving on tracks recorded under less than optimal conditions. Every crackle, every distortion, every flaw is immediately obvious. It is also possible that there is a "steeping" or break-in period involved with these headphones. I have had these things for almost 3 weeks now and am almost always surprised by the level of clarity that I am getting from them with each new day. These are indeed a premium set of headphones. But make no mistake, these headphones are not sound beautifiers. They are as brutally direct as a Marlene Dietrich vocal on a post-war era track. Or Nico's vocal on a Velvet Underground song. Which is something which I find (oddly perhaps) comforting. SUMMARY ------------- PROS : - Clinical accuracy in sound reproduction. - Quality of materials used in product build. CONS : - Not a truly portable product : the size of the headphone case and the fact that the headphones cannot be folded means that premium space will have to be given for this premium product in your luggage. - The clamping force of the headphones when combined with the wearing of glasses - perhaps a problem for a minority of people but a serious problem nonetheless. These things hurt after 3 or more hours of continuous wear with glasses on. My solution is to wear the glasses outside of the headphones with the glasses tilted but this is not ideal. I can imagine that this could pose a problem for those who need to move around and to work with these things on. Perhaps this is something nerds all over the world can take up with headphone manufacturers on change dot org? Who knows?Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Totally changes the sound I'm Hearing from my instrument
These are wonderful headphones. I love the transition from the amp to headphone jack. The dual ear insert capability so I can use these headphones on either side is also a fanstastic feature. Similar issues with other headphones in which these can be a little heavy and uncomfortable on the head after long sessions. Highly recommended!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Well made, dull sound.
Well designed and constructed. However sound is bass heavy and weak on high end. Like a veil over the music. Only consider at a very good price and if you can manipulate frequency response with an equalizer. Same brands 558 is superb at s lower price.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Good stuff
Night and day...love them! I went back to the phones I was using previously to check a mix and compare...I was astounded at how I couldn't hear anything on the old phones. They sounded like a bad set of ear buds. Can't say enough about the HD6's. Thx!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Keeping the quality
I'm in my mid 50's and this is the 4th Senneiser product I've owned in my lifetime. Yes, only 4. Why? They are durable and fantastic quality. These HD6 phones give such a wonderful clean flat sound that I've only found in phones twice the price. I have never gone wrong with Sennheiser products.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
