This is my review I put on amazon uk. I have many sets of headphones, ranging from a few pounds to the famous Sennheiser HD650 currently £319 on Amazon. I have been disappointed over the years with what I have heard . Now I have finally found one set that is great. That is the B&O H6. Other headphones might have a flatter frequency response, better dynamic range etc. The one thing that is important to me is musicality, and that is where the B&O H6 wins. I agree my HD650 phones are technically better, but from a musicality point they lose out. I have been trying to find the flattest frequency response and the closest to the ‘real world sound’ as possible for a long time. This sounds great on paper, but on listening, the emotion, the passion, the feeling of the music has been left behind to produce a sterile flat response which is devoid of that word, emotion. These headphones have emotion and feeling in bucket loads. I have listened to a whole album for the first time in many a year today. I normally skip from track to track to convince myself that my new headphones are better than the last ones I bought. The treble is a bit better here, the bass is a bit better there. With these I hear everything so clear and with feeling, from the lowest lows to the highest highs, it’s difficult to describe in words how good these are. I always thought B&O were over priced and also the sound was not as good as I could get elsewhere for the same money. I am happy to be wrong.

I am sure we are all trying to find the ultimate sound and we believe a lot what we read on the internet. I was SO convinced that the HD650 headphones were the ultimate. Don’t get me wrong these are great headphones. But like I said in my review above, I was so intent in getting so called real, accurate sound that I had got lost in all the hype and believing that all I read online was correct . It is allowed to disagree with each other, but for me I have finally found a set of headphones that make music, not just play the notes. There is a BIG difference.
By the way. I use these with the ifi micro idsd and they definitely sound a lot better than direct from my iPhone or iPad.
