Key Features
- Modern Midnight Blue Designed for the modern listener, the HD 6XX swaps the HD 650s gray colorway with a darker, more dramatic, deep midnight blue.
- 6-Foot Cable Based on feedback from the audiophile community, we updated the HD 6XX with a detachable 6-foot cable (compared to the originals cumbersome 10-foot cable).
- Standard 3.5mm plug Our community asked for better compatibility with laptops, phones, DAPs, and moreso we opted for an -inch plug instead of the standard -inch plug.
- International products have separate terms, are sold from abroad and may differ from local products, including fit, age ratings, and language of product, labeling or instructions.

Best praise vs top criticism for Drop + Sennheiser HD 6XX
Best Praise
+290 pts“True dat, but my issue with BT isn’t the sound quality it’s the battery. I hate using battery powered headphones because they are just permanently dead in 5-10 years, where I expect my HD6XX to be on its 4th set of pads still going strong in 20. Throwing away Bluetooth devices also adds to e waste.”

+13 pts“I'm not sure if the HD 6XX can really take too much EQ in the sub-bass because it could start to distort. The Edition XV not only has more sub-bass out of the box, but could probably handle a bigger boost in the sub-bass as well. In fact, poor sub-bass performance is why I sold my HD 660S2, as it just got destroyed by the Ananda Nano even though I put EQ on both of them. And the HD 660S2 is actually better in the sub-bass than the HD 6XX. Luckily, Sennheiser has been cooking recently with the HD 490 Pro which has some more sub-bass than the 660S2 and comfort better than the Ananda Nano.”
