Sennheiser IEMs

Speaking of comfort, I find them to be probably the most comfortable IEMs that I have ever worn.

I have to agree. I didn’t realize how much comfort affected my perception of iems, but the ie600s “disappear” so I can concentrate on the music and not be aware of “something in my ear” distraction.

… mouldable hooks over the ears are great

I generally don’t like moldable hooks, as they are too stiff, but these are flexible and comfy

… any time I felt like listening at other times of the day, I reached for the IE600. That is already something that goes to prove my very positive experience with these IEMs.

This is also my experience. This is an iem that i reach for instinctively, although I have a TOTL iem available. I guess the combination of comfort and reasonable sound quality is the reason.

I haven’t mentioned it during the review as I always share my opinions without EQ, yet, I find that with a little bit of EQ, these IEMs go from being very good, to almost excellent. I found that dropping the low end quite a bit (not 10dB to match my target but around 6dB), along with just a little tweak of the upper mids (to extend that 2kHz presence just a little more) really opened up these IEMs and made them sound amazing (in my opinion of course).

I really appreciated your review, as it mirrors my experience. When I first tried the ie600s the bass was overwhelming. I did tame the bass with EQ to get there. In my mind, these IEMs punch above their price with a bit of parametric EQ.
