Exceptional in Every Detail: Say Hello to the IE 600

Fun little DIY mod: I haven't found an eartip that I like the sound of better than the stock ones, but my problem has been that I don't get a good seal with them unless they're in the extended position, and they have a tendency to squish back in from that position frequently enough that it gets annoying. My solution was to take a spare pair of eartips that don't fit me, slice off a small ring with an exacto knife, and insert that in between the IEM and the stock eartip to keep them from sliding in all the way. Now I can put them in without having to worry about losing their extended position.

Yes, I like the stock eartips in the extended position as well and I did the same mod. It works like a charm.

Now, that’s what I call a bargain. Wow.
I almost feel like it's a mistake, since that's what the HD600 are marked down to as well. Oh well! Bought myself a nice early birthday present for myself!

Looks like it may have actually been a mistake haha, pricing went back to normal. Hope they don’t cancel my order

Hi All, just got my IE600 phones yesterday. Like them a lot but have already ripped the medium silicone tips while trying to find best fit and seal. Unfortunately, those are probably the tips I want to use. Does someone have a link to the replacement tips on Amazon US or Sennheiser US? I can't seem to find them.

Thank you, rlw6534!! I appreciate it. Good news is I ordered a set of Comply foams last night and they just arrived. They are perfect and tame the initial issues I had with treble. I'll bookmark the link and grab some replacements when they're in stock.

Honestly, I was pretty happy that I was able to order the Comply tips. When I had my IE800s Comply wasn't available, so I got used to the silicone tips.

Have adjusted myself and gotten used to the new custom comfort tips now. Amazing tips, great bass and comfort. Wasn't sure when I got them whether it was really worth it as they are a bit on the pricey side still but now I would do it again. That's the best the IE600 have ever sounded for me so far and they have already sounded really good with stock tips and/or modded stock tips before.

I'm actually using the IE Pro tips. They are a bit thicker/stiffer than the IE 600 stock tips and work better for me. I like Comply foams as well, but they aren't very durable so I use silicon when I can get a good seal...

Thank you Sennheiser for honoring the sale and not cancelling the order. I hope not too many flippers got a hold of multiple sets.



Free FedEx 3-day shipping too. :thumbsup:

My very first decent IEM was a Sennheiser CX500. Haven't bought a Senn IEM since 13 years ago, even though I have 3 Senn headphones.
