Is this normal or what?

 

[PsychoZX]

What the heck happened?

 

[Salt Peanuts]

Dang, I've seen many pics of chipped paints, but nothing like that.

 

[FaRKle]

AHHHH! The HORROR!

 

[virometal]

Wow that is art.

smashmyHD600.com anyone?

 

[Jahn]

serious answer- i've heard of chipping but never anything like that.

jokey answer - *hundreds of Grado groupies save pic as cannon fodder*

 

[saturnine]

Seems quite possible if they fell and the headband hit something hard. That finish chips off quite easy.

It rebelled against Sennheiser and took off its own brand name. Such a brave HD600, I bet its starting to turn into a Grado.

 

[Teerawit]

Are those your HD600s, diablo9?

 

[kin0kin]

hey I think it looks much nicer without the paint!

 

[EdipisReks]

if they are yours, diablo9, can you tell us if they are actually carbon fiber under the paint?

 

[applebook]

The band is carbon fibre. I used to have a carbon fibre master key that looks, smells, and feels exactly the same.

One problem with the material is that paint doesn't necessarily like it as much as plastic, and it's not very flexible.

Having said that, this particular band doesn't look bad at all with just black finish like the HD580.

 

[jagorev]

Ack! Those pics nearly gave me a heart attack. WHAT have you been doing to them?

/lovingly pets his HD600

 

[afxdave]

Anyone have photos of how it looks "naked" without the paint? Makes me consider sending my 600s to an airbrush artist for some customization.

 

[diablo9]

nope, it's not my HD600 fortunately.

mine served me for over 2 years without a single problem.

The pics are got from a Chinese headphone forum, the guy claimed that he did nothing except occasionally used it below 50° F, their guess is the bending of the headband that's causing the problem. But Senn's got some QC problem too.
