Sennheiser HD 600
Delivering a 12Hz–39kHz frequency response and 300-ohm impedance, these open-back headphones require a dedicated amplifier for transparent, reference-grade detail. The lightweight 260g build, velour earpads, and detachable cable ensure comfort and durability during long critical listening sessions. They are best for mixing and mastering engineers who need an honest, uncolored sound profile for studio work.
