The Sennheiser HD6XX, developed in partnership with Drop, is a modern revision of the renowned HD 650 headphones. It features an open, dynamic transducer design with a frequency response of 10 Hz to 41 kHz and a nominal impedance of 300 ohms. The headphones deliver a smooth, laid-back sound signature with a balanced midrange, natural bass, and a warm, vivid tonality that is not neutral but musically enjoyable. They have a detachable 6-foot cable with a 3.5 mm plug and include a 1/4 inch adapter. The HD6XX is made in Ireland and weighs 260 grams without the cable. Its open-back design is best suited for quiet environments, and it requires a good amplifier due to its high impedance. The build is vintage Sennheiser style, comfortable with a clamp that loosens over time, and all parts are replaceable. The soundstage is intimate rather than grand, focusing on midrange clarity and vocal presence, making it excellent for music listening and gaming with proper amplification. The headphones come with a 2-year warranty and optional extended coverage.
