Your Sennheiser IE 600
The perfect reproduction of sound, unadul-
terated and clear – that is what the IE 600
stands for.
The IE 600 is a pair of earphones that follows
in the footsteps of the audiophile IE 900,
Sennheiser's flagship in-ears. Based on the
highly acclaimed TrueResponse transducers,
the IE 600 features the "Dual 2 Chamber
Absorber" resonator chambers that help the
sound setup to have a direct and focused
space. Voices come to the fore and build a
bridge between you and the music so that the
world around you disappears.
With decades of expertise and continuous
research crafted into the dynamic 7 mm in-
ear transducers, the IE 600 is capable of a
neutral sound reproduction and a yet powerful
low bass range. The balanced reproduction
delivers crisp trebles that do not analyti-
cally dissect the music. The IE 600 reflects
Sennheiser's passion for reproducing the per-
fect sound and for creating the experience an
intimate personal moment with music.
The IE 600 is manufactured by a team of ex-
perts at Sennheiser's factory specialized in
headphones in Tullamore, Ireland. As with any
audiophile headphones, the tightest produc-
tion tolerances apply. Every transducer is fully
tested – first individually and then together
after the right and left earphones have been
hand-selected in pairs. The transducers of the
6
right and left earphones are carefully selected
to optimally match with each other.
The transducers are enclosed in earphone
housings that are unprecedented in audio-
phile earphones. Selective laser melting was
used to build the housing layer by layer into a
metal with amorphous structures. The result
is an extremely hard material that is resil-
ient against environmental influences. Due
to its properties and the complex production
process, it was primarily used in aerospace
or medical technology. Besides, the metallic
rough surface of the zirconium-copper-alu-
minum-niobium alloy is a real eye-catcher.
The IE 600 provides outstanding connectivity
with Fidelity+ MMCX connections. These pre-
cise plug connections have been optimized for
mobile use of the earphones. Due to the high
sheathing of the plug connections, the filigree
contacts are well protected against mechan-
ical stress. On the device side, 3.5 mm and 4.4
mm jack plugs are available as standard.
The over-the-ear cable routing with adjustable
ear hooks provides lightweight wearing com-
fort as well as reduced structure-borne noise
compared to standard cables. So you can
enjoy even long listening sessions with these
unique Sennheiser IE 600 earphones.

Selecting the ear adapters and inserting
the earphones into the ears
The perceived sound quality including bass
performance and the reduction of ambient
noise depends to a large extent on the cor-
rect fit of the earphones in the ears. Figure out
which ear adapter type and size suits you best
in terms of both sound quality and wearing
comfort.
▷ Mount the ear adapters to the earphones
until they lock into place. You can choose
between 2 l ock-in positions.
Silicone
▷ Select ear adapters of the correct size
(S, M or L) so that the earphones sit com-
fortably and securely in your ears.
Visco memory foam
The ear adapters made of Visco foam adapt
optimally to the ear canal due to the expan-
sion of the memory foam.
▷ Select ear adapters of the correct size (S,
M or L) and roll the ear adapters between
