Sennheiser IE 600 REVIEW! Endgame within reach 

The IE 600 is $1,120 AUD in Australia the IE 900 costs $2,400 🥶 Great review and thanks for mentioning the sleeping fit as for many years I've spent a great deal of time in hospital and have since maybe around 15 years old, warn a much cheaper, $150 AUD (around 20 years ago pricing) pair of Sennheiser iem's while in there as even without playing music or sound through them, they sealed so well and blocked much of the machines, nurses and other patient noises and allowed me to get much more relief as well as distraction through listening to radio or music or more recent years streaming material but my point is that the I'm yet to find any other iem's that are more comfortable to wear while lying my head on a pillow than those Sennheiser's and its ability to seal out sound or noise and they didn't use noise cancellation technology were Really important to those minority who use IEM's for this purpose and I still use them at home though no longer for sound as my mini computer and the dragonfly cobalt blue them, I'm currently using Meze Audio Rai Penta which sound pretty great but fall out my ear easily when lying on my back or side in bed. I'm curious about these Sennheiser's and whether quality headphone amplification can make a real difference to the quality of the sound, not just adding greater volume which I don't need.

For me the silicon tips works perfectly and I get that deep bass.... Just don't press the ie 600 in the ear canal but let it let it block the opening. They work for me at first insert 99.99% of the time 😊

This

sameee hahahaha

Update: Been using these for a few weeks now and yeah, I did make the right decision. They sound superb, and they fit perfectly in my tiny ears. Super comfortable. These make me wonder what is the point of multi-driver/hybrid IEMs when these can do absolutely everything brilliantly with just a single 7mm DD.

@@jafizzle95 well if there is no inherent disadvantage to hybrids, there is no reason to discard them. No dynamic driver IEMs will EVER reach QDC Anole VX level details

@@jafizzle95 IHybrid/ tribrids will always have at least a mild coherency issue.

What's Con-x? I'm not familiar with that. Where do you find cables with that?

@@SuperReview Con-X is the connector developed by Effect Audio. It works just like how you switch the 4.4 3.5 2.5 connectors on the end of your cable, but it’s for 2pin mmcx and pentaconn connectors. Some cables are equipped with Con-X out of the factory, if not you can send ur cable to Effect Audio for the mod for $60 usd I believe.

Lucky

I think that's just how I talk 🤣

I own Kato and IE600. IE600 has smoother tuning than the Kato with better timbre and much better detail retrieval. Mids are not as forward as Katos but aren't recessed either. Soundstage wise Kato has a bigger soundstage than the IE600 and sometimes can make you think you are wearing a headphone. But IE600 are more detailed and less fatiguing than the Kato. IE600 sounds more musical and addictive than the Kato. Buy this than spend similar money trying to find the perfect mid fi iem. These are just perfect.

Interesting, haven't had that happen with IE600 but I understand why it'd be concerning. I can say from experience with other IEMs that do that, I haven't had any go bad because of that vacuum effect.

There's a cut in the shell that should alleviate that

Good to hear from you again 🤙

Brave!

@@SuperReview It wasn't much material to remove and the plastic is soft enough to do it with a nail file but it was 100% worth it for me!

How’s your IE600 treating you ?

Upgrade? Kinda hard TBH, maybe Elysian Annihilator. In headphones, can't think of anything with this level of bass emphasis that doesn't sound like butt.

Still happy with the ie600?

I did some measurements with and without the foams -- it does seem to make a small difference, but less difference than changing insertion depth (or other tip changes).

#Goals

Nice score 🤙

Mest are amazing and sound insanely good !! But the ie600 are probably more comfortable , personally I’d rather have a mest or mest mk2 in my collection

@@theodorezurla496 guess mest is just very special indeed. I even prefer it over u12t lol. this ie600 however does look excellent comfort wise. may still give it a try in the future

Been enjoying the IE 600 more TBH. Fit is much easier which is a big thing, but also finding IE 600 more engaging to listen to.

@@SuperReview Thanks! 👍🏼 I got the Mk II for Christmas and quite like it for classical music. For many other genres though, it seems a bit on the tame side despite its strong technical specs. I’ll wait another week for the Dunu Vulkan but will go for the IE600 if the Vulkan doesn’t show.

Can’t go wrong with most respected high-end Iem honestly

@@theodorezurla496 Yes! They are at the very top of my list. Canada is worse than North Korea when it comes to shopping for higher end IEMs but I at have found a place to buy them here. 👍🏽

This duo.

IE600 is a proper IEM. Proper sound. All the chifi rubbish you cite as alternatives are muddy crap sound for anyone who knows audio.

@@morespinach9832 Who would be the people who knows audio? I'd assume these youtubers are not the ones.

@@morespinach9832 lol, pretty uninformed take

@@magik97 yeah after having heard and returned about thirty of these chifi rubbish things that keep coming up. My reference is still Onkyo E700M. It used to cost a hundred bucks (Japanese can mass produce at high quality) but remains one of the more transparent yet dynamic things I’ve ever put in my ears. None of these Blessing etc come close.

Or the S8 given it’s the same price

If that works for you 👍

@@SuperReview where have you been my good sir

I would not expect a new version any time soon, Sennheiser's retail pricing is pretty random.

Tips are definitely up to personal fit, except those stock tips, haven't heard anyone that likes them.

squig.link/?share=Super_Review_Target,Sennheiser_IE_600,Sennheiser_IE_900

IE900 are the Holy Grail for sound. Audiophile de-luxe! I can't get away from them. It's all I want to do is listen to all of my favorite songs over and over again! Highest fidelity imaginable for me. Neve RNHP and Topping DX7pro and Qobuz in bit perfect mode is the best thing I have ever heard..

😬

I have both. The IE 600 lack sub bass, compared to the Dusk. But the detail is amazing.

S8 is my choice, both are excellent.

I have the blessing 2 dusk and I like the ie 600 more.

@Text me on telegram Super Review I am from India don't know how to telegram you

These sellers have an option for Sennheiser: www.null-audio.com/

@@SuperReview ok~ thanks for your reply ~ helps a lot

@@SuperReview I order costume made ie600 cable from dunu (Lyre Pro), I just reviewed my cable, it's an hugeeee upgrade!

Besides final type E, I found another foam tip that is perfect with ie600, namely complyfoam, forgot the model, purchased long ago

Yeah.

Good price.

Lotta people love the CRA.

Putting that timeless crap in the same list suggests you are ranking things based on internet wisdom, not any knowledge of audio.

@@morespinach9832 Imagine hating chifi and not letting people like what ever they like in a subject hobby like audio

@@KopfdesRiesen people can like whatever they wish, doesn’t make it amazing quality.

squig.link/?share=Super_Review_Target,Moondrop_Aria,Moondrop_Kato

My Moondrop stanning bleeding into my Dunu stanning.

Yes and no. FH3 is a bit more midrange focused, maybe a closer direct "upgrade" would be the Letshuoer Kinda Lava.

U12t

Nope. I have sony ex8000st with tape mod. Nothing compares

@@nellatl You mean the EX800st? The Studio Monitor? Thats a Studio Monitor...

You're talking about two very different tunings and asking me to compare the shape of one very specific part of the FR. Sorry, not gonna.

Probably only frequencies people can't hear.

I own both now and damn, yes it is. I preferred the IE600 to the Susvara even ngl. The IE200 is awesome, but the IE600 is endgame. Better than Oracle, IE900, Campfire Audio Ara, DUNU SA6, Softears RSV, Meze Advar and everything else I’ve ever heard. Best Audio experience I ever had tbh, even better than Focal Utopia and Susvara as stated (for me)

​@xxxyyy7744 damn bro. if they go down on black friday im gonna get one. I have the IE300, i love them, but i'm tired of the bassy warm signature of it. I'm craving detail, brightness and some bite, i need a more lively tuning. The ie300 is suited for depression days or sleep time probably

@@dhiaoshaish yeah, get the IE600! IE300 is leagues below, I also got them.

@@Tssukiii would you please compare both sonically? i was surprised the video did not mention the ie300.

@@dhiaoshaish yes sure! So the IE600 and the IE300 are both V-shaped. The IE600 does not have a sucked out upper midrange though. So the IE600 has absolute clarity the IE300 misses. The bass and treble quality of the IE600 is also leagues above. For me, the IE300 has more uneven treble and is definitely fatuiguing. The IE600 doesn’t have less treble, but it’s so much more resolving and even. It is never sibilant and delivers so much detail I didn’t even know there existed. I would describe the IE300 as fun and the IE600 as king of clarity and somehow delivering some kind of neutrality although it’s V-shaped. Even though it’s v-shaped the midrange is unbelievably good. I even liked it better for vocals than the Oracle and RSV which are known to be the best at vocals below 1000$ just because of the sheer quality. IE300 is no comparison to the IE600 - if you find the IE600 for less than its asking price of 700-800$, I would look nowhere else. As an owner of the IE300 I think you can also agree the Sennheiser IEs are the most comfortable IEMs by far with the IE600 being no exception. I would use foam tips if the treble is a bit too much for you, but Spring Tips are my go to for total clarity. Normally I’m very sensitive to treble, but the IE600 handles it perfectly, so I don’t need to use the foam tips as on the IE300. For me it’s hard to find something that beats the IE600 right now. The shop I tested it in first had many different things to try out. And I even tried the Susvara there, but the IE600 impressed me the most that day. Bought it instantly after the listening audition. Somehow a single DD can outcompete any crazy combinations like Hybrids and Tribrids, wow. Hope I could help you! Just trust me in this one and buy them, it is worth the price and expense over the IE200 and IE300 and not only maybe 10% better as some reviewers were saying. Greetings! :)

I run FOLD3 + BTR5 and it's working great

I use the EQ function on Squiglink -- pull up two graphs, and start making changes until they match.

@@SuperReview do you just tune everything to your preference curve tho?

@@brunis_m For this comparison, I pulled up the graph of the USB - Default tuning for Dusk and shaped the Blessing 3 FR to match.

@@SuperReview this is the Ie 600 vid lol! I use this IEM and am trying out your Qudelix profile while wondering what you did and why!

@@brunis_m LOL. I don’t remember EQing the IE 600.

Pree rude.

Yes, stock cable.

Lately, Divinus Velvet

And I listen to a lot of podcasts

No IP rating, I haven't seen that on any wired IEMs.

They're on pre-order in the US and Europe now. Available in Asia (Amazon Japan) right now.

dude u put this comment on every RU-vid video, get a life, human bot

@Text me on telegram Super Review If anyone gets any message, no matter the platform, similar to this please ignore it. Giveaways are usually through a third party like gleam, very rarely do influencers/reviewers post winners on their page or on a comment.

It is completely different.

@@SuperReview I just discovered this "quality" the thing that's really impressed me is the being in the music. Like watching a movie then finding yourself "in" the movie. What might my next step be from the B3?

😍

The is800/800s are quite crappy.

Actually IE300 have same driver as IE800 only further fine-tunned and at the fraction of their price :)

@@HOTSPEEDMike They all share The-7mm Gem 💎 The Sennheiser IE900 along with the IE900 have the same 7mm dynamic driver. The IE800 was created and tuned by “Axel Grell” Legendary Designer of HD600 and Superb 💎 HD800. He left Sennheiser as all the great people do. The IE800 sub-bass performance/ presentation is so good, that I have to put on Micheal Jackson’s Billie Jean at least 3 times a day to get a hit/shot of the buttery beautiful best ever bass, its so good it’s unbelievably-ethereal-deep, textured, tight, soft, substantial and meaty etc. and I have had these bad babies spectaculars since 2017. They can’t be beat in 24/7 wearability only 5 grams each. I’m sure The IE300 sounds spectacular think- about it! If Sennheiser wants you to buy their more expensive iems, they better damn sure, not slouch on sound at the lower end. The higher sets have more accessories for rich people that’s all. I have The IE900 also-and it sounds exactly-“no kidding” like my IE800 set, just in a different form factor, that’s really not as comfortable. Hmm 🤔 I buy my IE800 “ENDGME” set used on EBay for under $300.00 Let’s go!

@@SONJOY77721 Would like to know what do you smoke.

Haven't heard IE 400 Pro. The tuning looks kinda bad, recessed vocals and bloated bass. crinacle.com/graphs/iems/graphtool/?share=IEF_Neutral_Target,IE400_Pro,IE600

@@SuperReview I doesn’t trust graphs for a while since I reviewed few IEM/Headphones where real life results was quite opposite of what graphs suggested. Wherever I look these IEM have excellent reviews but I couldn’t find any binaural recordings on RU-vid at least, since I don’t have opportunity to demo these before I decide to purchase them. 400 eur is quite a lot for IEM to blind purchase it. :) I’m sure that ie 600 are good IEM but 700 is way too much in my opinion for IEM since you can purchase decent headphones which for sure exceeds sound quality of any IEM at that price range and way above. But thanks for your response anyway.

No plans, no.

@@SuperReview no problem i came to know that they changed the tuning in the new revised version.

I don't mind the simplicity much, I throw away my packaging. But sneezing is not a good sign :D

We all do 😩

Bak to baked them yesterday and walked out with the sennies been looking campfire fan for years

Yeah, liked better with Final.

Hiby R5 Gen2 soon.

Thanks for the rec. Looks like they don't ship to US 😩

@@SuperReview I'm in the US, DFW area. Shipping took a bit, but I definitely got the one I purchased. If I find some others, will drop in comments.

Interesting, when I picked US for shipping, the website said they don't ship here.

@@SuperReview add it to your cart, I ordered a cable for my Meze Advar last night.

Which one did you go with? They have a lot of cables at a lot of price points.
