Exceptional in Every Detail: Say Hello to the IE 600

[BooleanBones]

Give Chris Cornell's cover of Billie Jean a listen .

For sure, that whole album gives me goosebumps, but figured I wouldn't ramble on here forever

Meh rambling about the music is why we spend the $$$ on audio equipment. God I miss Chris. Audioslave's self titled album is one of my favorite albums of all time. And one I can't wait to hear on the IE600 (there now we're back on topic )

RIP Chris. One thing I found quite cool about Redemption Song was the fact you can actually distinguish Chris backing up his munchkin, which generally I don't hear near as well on my other headphones.

Violectric Chronos is very good sounding and pairs well with the easy to drive IE600.

There is just a bit more bass in the IE600 compared to the IE900. The control and definition seem similar, but I can’t compare them directly since I don’t have a IE900 on hand. I listened to the IE900 for several hours about 3 months ago and even though I liked the headphone, it didn’t really click for me. It is near perfect, but its a little to bright for my taste. That said I would have bought one if it would cost in the region of the IE600, but now that the 600 improved on everything I didn’t like about the IE900, the IE600 suits my taste pretty well.

I would say, if you enjoy a tad warmer sound with crisp details, without sounding sibilant, the IE600 is perfect for you. It isn’t neutral, but that makes it such a pleasure.

Thanks, very useful comments. I like a good soundstage wiht my iems and most people say that the ie 900 has and edge for SS and details compared to the ie 600…

It came on LTT Channel, not mainstream per-se but quite prominent nonetheless



Linus used to carry IE8-80-800 as His EDC before the sheer convenience of Airpods and apple's curse of nixing the 3.5 jack stop that habit.
All these years of Sennheiser sponsored vids doesn't make him an audiophile, but a tech guy that's pretty audio aware, appreciating good audio for what it is.

I like Linus, he even tried the KSE1200, HE-1, and the Abyss line-up before.

I’m very into tech and he’s one of my favourites for sure.

I'm interested to see how their audio related videos will change since they hired "an audio guy" and might be getting a measurement rig in.

3:30 - "Or if you want to get 3rd party cables in the future either because you want to save a buck or because you like throwing away money"

I already have a new upgrade cable waiting for the IE600!!!

In their Twitter they also showed off a couple heads, I think they plan to make a video about which one is closest to human hearing and use that as their benchmark device.
