Exceptional in Every Detail: Say Hello to the IE 600

The azla sedna earfit have a nozzle width off 5.4mm which is why I like the sound they produce. Pretty close to the sennheiser ones that come with the IE600 for looks without the grill & made off better silicone.

Went with your suggestion and got myself the SednaEarfit Standard and SednaEarfitLight. Still waiting for them to arrive (and the Spiral Dot++)

Hoping they 'sound' great :fingers_crossed::fingers_crossed:

Thanks! Why did you choose the angled version btw? Doesn’t this add another spot that can get rotated into a wrong orientation?

Seems like it would be a little clunky to have an adapter sticking out that far. For the price of that adapter I ended up buying a braided cable also on Ali that was meant for the IE300/600/900 series for about the same amount. Just waiting for it to arrive. I guess if you already have nice IEM cables and want to be able to keep using them then the adapter would make sense.

It fun matching different mmcx cable to get slightly different sound.

How is the isolation on the ie600? And have anyone tried spinfits with it? I have spinfits on my shures,and they are easy to take in/out and are comfortable.
The isolation is top tier, far better than I expected given they are vented
For me the IE600 with the foam tips have slightly better isolation than my Etymotic ER2XRs with triple flange eartips
Although I could only just get the third eartip in, so people who could get more insertion might disagree
For me the IE600 with the silicone tips gets to about 80-90% of my ER2XRs with triples

I've just got the DHL shipping notice, so it's on the way. Sadly I won't get it tomorrow, but on Wednesday, but I'm excited nonetheless.

Finally got my IE600 package today.
The stock tips are bad. It's so hard to get good sealing.

Mine arrived 1 hour ago. I must say after owning every audiophile headphone of Sennheiser. The most Wow effect was long ago with HD650 and HD600 and some years later with the original HD800. (then i had hd700, hd800S, Ie800, Ie800S, not much wow effect.) Here comes the Ie600, i never thought i will have the same wow effect again like 10+years ago, and yet here it is. This is a marvelous neutral sound, it feels so lifelike, so extended in both end still neutral mids with all of the details and good stereo image, and dymanic ,clean, fast sound , i never had this with any iem which I had ( Ca Andromeda 2020, CA Atlas, AKG n5005, ie800/S , Final Audio A8000, Dunu Zen, Sony Xba, N3, and a lot chifi iems) . I must say this Ie600 is one of the best iems i listened Money no object.

Thank you for those awesome first impressions! I feel a sense of excitement similar to my own when I started listening to the 600. Welcome to the #IE600Club !

I'm strongly considering saving up those 700 bucks for them. I have read one of the reviews on another site. The reviewer complained about the microphonic effect on the cable. Did any of you who got your hands on IE600 have experienced this?

Even with the foam ones?
I don't like foam tips, they change the sound. The stock silicon tips are so cheap. I usually use M size with all other IEMs, but on IE600 I can't get a good seal even with L size. I will try foam tips today.

Regarding the sound. VERY GOOD. They could be my only one IEM for every type of music. Much better resolution vs IE800, deep low end and treble extension without sibilants. I was surprised about the sound stage, it's bigger then I expected.

What I love in IE600 is that they are easy to listen to, they don't overwhelm your ears like MEST MKII, they are small and light.

IE600 is a must buy. But the stock silicon tips are garbage.
