Audiophile • Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 6XX Headphones All, We have some long-awaited news and are excited to announce it as we celebrate our 5-year anniversary. Not only do they secure the headphones to your skull well, but they also don’t put too much pressure on your head either. As for the HD6XX, the cost to ship to Singapore is a little prohibitive, but if you have contacts who can bring it in, then it is definitely the best value option to own a brand new Sennheiser HD600 series. Best of all the HD 6XX are no longer a fire-sale option with limited quantity – they’re now available from Drop on a regular basis.Many people have owned the HD 650 for a decade-plus, and given that they have replaceable cables and are very well made, they should last for a very long time if treated right.Honestly, we have yet to hear a pair of headphones that offers this level of clarity, warm low end, and soundstage expansion at the $220 price. On the interior are thick earpads cloaked in the same fuzzy lining of “acoustic silk” that breeds luxurious comfort in the HD 650, and also boasts a brilliant acoustic seal. All rights reserved.Perhaps most notably, the removable cable now terminates with a 3.5mm jack rather than quarter-inch (with an included quarter-inch attachment), making these cans much more versatile to pair with all your many devices.You are in for a buttery treat that results in some of the best sound dynamic drivers can bringThe cable length has also been shortened from a studio-friendly 10 feet to a tighter 6 feet. A Sennheiser logo atop the headband assures you of the high-quality sound within, and few details betray the new HD 6XX design.The HD 6XX come with a two-year warranty on parts and workmanship that’s backed by Sennheiser.Nothing has changed about the 650’s sound signature — the same golden grit, silky smooth bass, and ultra-detailed topside are all present and accounted for here. A lot of that owes to the fact that they’re pretty much the same headphones as another audiophile darling, just… $200 instead of $499.I wouldn’t. Because the Drop x Sennheiser HD 6XX has open backed earcups, outside noise will absolutely wreck your listening experience.
That same phenomenon of auditory masking linked above will prevent certain notes from being heard if there’s anything going on around you.This, combined with the open backs mean that you can listen to these headphones for hours on end with only minimal heat buildup or discomfort. And while the price has plummeted for the 6XX version (and the original HD 650 on most sites), that doesn’t mean potential buyers won’t get a real taste of audiophile luxury. The Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 6XX, a bona fide audiophile headphone, for a very affordable price. These are, hands down, the best-sounding headphones we’ve ever heard for $220. For anyone looking to get into the world of high-end audio, the Sennheiser HD 6XX is an excellent entry point. The giant, open-back earpieces pop out like oval hula hoops, attached on an adjustable hinge and layered with dense mesh windows that unveil spiderwebbed drivers beneath.
