"little drivers (7mm) can and do produce amazing bass when designed properly."
"Got an IE 600 and i found it better cause of the very strong sub bass"
"I also enjoyed the simplicity of the dynamic driver of the IE600, especially since it doesn't sacrifice on bass like some BA do."

"If you're a vocal lover, it is one of THE sets to try. HD600 has nothing on it. ... To sum up, it's a safe, refined, vocal focused set that will be satisfactory enough if you fall in the vocal lover group (which I am)."
"But I’ll keep buying despite the QC problems since they are the best IEM I’ve ever owned."

"Just AB Sennheiser IE 900/600 and close the chapter than falling for hybrid, tribid/quadbrid bull shit propoganda that most reviewers and new kids on the block preach."

"incredibly small shells. Small enough to actually sleep with, as they do not stick outside of the ear."
"Yes can even sleep with ie 200 ie600 in without it causing any discomfort or muffled sound when that side in pon the pillow unlike many IEMs other than the me600s that also fit well for me."
"you’ll struggle to find anything more comfortable ... the IE 600 / 900 are just so comfortable because they are small and light"

"The Sennheiser‘s don’t leave the house given the price tag."

"Worse offender of sennheiser’s iem is they just do not sound big at all with a 7mm driver, it just feels limited and less separated in sound which do contribute to a sense of resolution overall."
"Soundstage is good, but it is a reminder that this is just an IEM. It's not even as impressive as a Blessing 2, which can be had far cheaper."
"The stock cable takes 10 tries and it easier to have “space” around the tips and your ears which bass sounded less and treble loose soundstage"

"I also found there wasn't much difference between them after EQ. ... with EQ they were pretty similar."
"The treble was too much by default. ... The stock treble on the IE 600 was too much for me."

"it sounded sibilant"
"The treble was too much by default. ... The stock treble on the IE 600 was too much for me."
"IE600 definitely has a bit of sibilance to it despite the use of their resonator chambers"
I bought the IE600 because as you said people liked it more and it was mid forward (with a bass boost) which I wanted for my tuning rather than hyper analytical like the IE900. But If my IE600 died and at the current discount I could get it for a change, you can always try and return it or sell it at some point if you don’t like it and get the IE600 again.
r/HeadphoneAdvice • My IE600 Died, Any Alternatives? ->You should definitely check out the Sennheiser IE line. From their cheapest IE200 , their midrange IE600 and to the most expansive IE900 they are all amazing iems, with incredibly small shells. Small enough to actually sleep with, as they do not stick outside of the ear.
r/iems • What are your audio unpopular opinions? ->fiio fh3 > ie600 it’s so good i cried a little 😭
r/iems • What was your first experience with more expensive IEMs like? ->I’ve gone from using my iPhone with Moondrop Dawn to Chord Mojo 2 then to an A&K KANN MAX and now using an SP3000T. My iem’s are Truthear Hexa, Moondrop Aria 2 Red, Sennheiser IE 600.
r/iems • I'm a beginner, how can a $500/1000+ dollar IEM be better then a $70-200 one? ->When I moved up to the KANN MAX, that was the real game-changer for me. Suddenly I could hear all the little details in the track — way better separation — and it just sounded like a higher-quality recording. For me, music’s all about the emotional connection, and when your setup really clicks, whether it’s a proper hi-fi or headphones, you just want to listen more, rediscover forgotten albums, and actually play them all the way through. That’s exactly what happened when I improved the source. The Hexa and Aria are amazing for the money — they easily hold their own against the IE600s. I’m sure I’ll try some higher-end IEMs at some point, but honestly, I’m happy where I’m at right now.
r/iems • I'm a beginner, how can a $500/1000+ dollar IEM be better then a $70-200 one? ->Interestingly, I also have a pair of IE600 and a couple of days ago I was using a beanie over them(it was quite chilly outside). Sound got altered quite drastically and for the worst. It's probably because the ports were covered. Using the hood from my jacket instead was the better choice as that's not a snug fit.
r/headphones • Hat EQ? ->Yeah me too, I have some very expensive sets, like the IE600, and I prefer the EW300 over the IE600... I still prefer my Ziigaat Odyssey, or my Mangird Xenns Top, but damn the Simgot is indeed very very good for the asked price
r/iems • What’s an IEM you’d tell 99% of people to blind buy? ->IE600 if you can find one in that budget but you will absolutely need to change the cable cause the default one absolutely will not allow for a proper fit and stay there. Outside of that, Dusk is pretty good.
r/inearfidelity • Best 350-400$ iem for trance/electronic music lover ->That’s sadly a common issue for the IE600 because of condensed water in the shell. If you put them in a small box with a bunch of silica gel packs, they should become normal again.
r/iems • Can I trust an IEM that doesn't have an Waifu on the box? ->You certainly can! I love those and got them for cheap last Sennheiser sale.
