I Forgot How This Felt... - Sennheiser IE 600 headphones

Sennheiser is still one of the top-level companies for audio equipment, and even though the headphone jack is gone, it still shows that it still works way better than Bluetooth. The IE 600 is their latest in-ear monitor or earbuds, but wow, it takes me back.

Fun fact: our engineers tuned the IE 600 to the Encanto soundtrack.

[crin]

Easily their best IEM yet. And that includes the $1, 300 IE900.

[jimbo-dev]

I just love how strongly the community here agrees that wired headphones aren’t dying

[RZhang-bzqq]

IEMS are far from being a “dying breed” - in fact, they’re arguably more popular than ever right now.

"I forgot how this felt..." And "It was over 2 years ago" are right on the money for me Linus.

[hamzasaeed]

I really hope LTT gets back to reviewing headphones and IEMs.

[matteoplaxton]

I gotta say. I usually skip through the sponsor messages and stuff. But when Durand does some stupid stuff like this I watch the whole thing. Love it.

[NickPaul]

It would be cool to have LTT labs go over the language used in audio reviews. That way we can be better informed in what you're hearing vs what comes out of youtube.

[DavidRamgobin]

Loving how Linus is basically just building a QA testing company for the people

[benperry]

I'm actually very excited to start seeing headphone reviews with the freakish ears on a stand. Frank would be pleased.

[VexMexIndustries]

as soon a i heard "600", my brain got all into HUH-DUH SIXHUNDUH

There's really nothing going away about quality wired IEMs and headphones.
The vast majority of "normies" won't get them, but that's not the same thing as saying no one will get them. Getting good music hardware for good music listening isn't going to go away.
Hell, it doesn't even need to be "getting GOOD music hardware." For instance, people like the vibe around vinyl just because of the way it is. They like the nostalgia and imperfections unique to it.
If you meant it's going away to mean "it's plunging in popularity, " then not even then. Only in NA and maybe Europe is that happening, rampant consumerist sheep in audio product development are pushing wireless earphones to be made and marketing HARD to sniff the snail trail of Apple as it butt scooches across audio device evolution.

[MikoKnight]

Dbrand just gets me every time, legendary marketing team.

“The last of a dying breed”

Audiophiles know around dozen IEMs are still launched like every month

[WolfiiDog]

I was thinking about wired buds yesterday, now that the hype around wireless buds is long gone, I started seeing more and more disavantages with it. The audio quality over BT, the degradable batteries that eventually goes to a landfill, the fact that you have to charge these things all the time, it's kinda more inconvenient than using wired ones, and oveall a worst experience. These things might seem obvious to some people, but till some time ago I still thought the pros of wireless far outweighted the cons

[hundergrn]

Can't tell if Linus is dumbfounded by the sound quality or that Encanto track hit deep. Dude went straight monotone.

Rare and impressive, gg Sennheiser.

[ineedyoutostop]

Wired iems are in the best place they've been ever lol. They're getting more development wireless headphones these days lol.

[twistedtomatoful]

Dbrand is by far my favorite sponsor simply because of the interactions between LMG and Dbrand.

Sick headphones too, but we're really here for dbrand.

[vijeykumar]

Senn's mid-range and high end wired lineup is solid. Absolutely loving my HD560S I got a week ago.

[AlexZanderMuro]

been rocking the etymotic er4xrs as a daily driver for a bit now. to hear you reference these as a better version of those is outstanding, because the etymotics are far and away the best ive heard in the sub-500 price point, which means this is a logical step for those wanting to get into the next "tier" of audio gear.
