It's hard to believe that anything is noticeably better than the IE900, because they are just amazing and about as perfect as anything I have ever heard.
can you comment on the lack of pinna gain complaint by most ppl where they said mids like guitar and vocals sometimes get covered behind other frequencies?
@@Viewer13128I just ordered them. Those people are just mentioning what's not perfect. The midrange has the v curve most people like but what people notice is it's not the lack of midrange that they miss as much as the lack of detail. Which the 900s have in spades.
got a chance to demo the IE600 in store yesterday, boyyy is it a bass canon, reminds me of sony headphones like the Z7 and 7506. If you're coming from Sennheiser open backs then it's gonna be a shock to the system. I feel like cheaper IEMs like the ER2XR and blessing 2/3 does bass and even midrange better than Sennheiser. Their IE series lacks ear gain for some reason unlike their headphones. Anywho that's my impression, hopefully senneheiser can improve on this since I find their in-ear design to be super comfortable!
Which is the best you could recommend as a upgrade for the 7hz timeless (that I love :) ) an upgrade that you can really notice the difference in all ways and probably can be my end game up to 1000 dollars? Thank you for your hard and honest work always 👏🏽
Nice reviews as always, been wondering if you'll ever give a review of the Moondrop Arias, been browsing for some iems to upgrade my Blon 01 (Blon 03 broke because of poor handling ie. putting in the washing machine my b). Really been torn on the Tin T3 plus or the Aria.
I think it’d be really neat to show some of those moments of specific detail you highlight on a spectral graph and to put a specific band pass on it to try and catch the portion of the freq range that for instance is responsible for reproducing that high pitched beep in the left channel on Wanna be Startin’ Somethin’ so you could show precisely what to listen for in that track and then demonstrate what the freq graph would look like with and without letting that frequency thru. Just an interesting thing perhaps for many folks to help them get an idea of what to look for when listening analytically to a piece and how the frequency response affects things acoustically and psychoacoustically. Great review and video buddy, thanks!
If Sennheiser has gotten an IEM right, then I'm puzzled. The pinna gain suckout is simply unacceptable. In any case they need to cut all of their IEM pricing in half to reach a point where they present an actual choice for people. PS I have loved their cans since 1989 when I got the HD560... then 580, then 600, and now 58x.
Thanks for reviewing the IE600. With the IE300 I had the impression that some instruments sound totally off. For instance some guitars didn't sound like guitars to me if that makes sense. Other instruments like Djembe sounds quite nice. Is it something I should be worried about with the IE600 ? Thanks
Man, I wanted the IE300 to be good, and I bought them, but they were really weird to me. I consider myself to be a basshead. I don't care about V-shape tunning, so watching the graphs, and the reviews, I was pretty confident that it was a good option... However, it was totally off, like you say, everything was sounding very weird. You can see Crinacle's video about the IE600, he explains what was the problem, in terms of tunning, in my case it was exactly what he explained. It was the imbalance between mids and treble...
@@gatobakuniano You know the Focus EDM are suprisingly amazing at non bass heavy genres (like Creedence clearwater revival and pink floyd both shine with excellent clarity and imaging infact the Focus have great imaging all around) you might try one of their offerings.
@@amartinez97 I totally agree with you about the focus edm! I figured it would just be for my bass head songs but it actually works great for my whole library! Super pleasant surprise!
Bad Guy, do you think these can compare to over ear headphones? I'm getting out of the over ear game, selling off my Audeze and ZMF. And just getting a single IEM. I caught a brief demo of these in store and I liked them.
Any chance you can review the EarSonics Onyx and compare to this? The Onyx is EarSonics new IEM they released last month. Cheers and I love the content.
Great review! Have a question- how would you compare them to the iBasso it07 or Beyers Xelento? I have the it07 and the Xelentos and was thinking about the Monarch 2, now the next option is the ie600. I like deep, controlled bass and rather smoother tuning. Will pair them with my ibasso dx312 EXN (a modded stock amp12 with upgraded Audio Note Kaisei capacitors). Thanx in advance!
@@BadGuyGoodAudioReviews Sony IER-Z1R vs IE900/600, sonically which should I get. I listen to all genres of music. I enjoy good sub-bass, phenomenal detail retrieval, spacious sound stage. I know from reviews, Sony is an upgrade from what I currently rock FiiO FH7. But I am a fan of German engineering too. I still remember my IE8 days when I couldn't afford the MDR EX1000s.

IE 900 is technically better than tge rest of the line, better build quality the inspection is a level above everything in tge IE line, the drivers are perfectly match and tuned individually to match, the level or research and development is higher with 900, describing and reviewing sound is luke describing the level of sweetness in a slice of cake, ears are not the same, if something sounds better for you that doesn't means that automatically will sound better for everyone

Wonder how it compares to everyone's recent favorite, the Moondrop Kato? I know they are 1/3rd the price, but many say they are best bang for the buck.
Thank you for the review. I purchased the UM MEST MKII (customs) solely off you’re recommendation, and has since been my favorite IEM, right next to the 64 Audio Trio. Question: I know it’s not a fair comparison, price, build, drivers. But how would you compare the overall sound and sonic characteristics of the IE600 to the MEST and Trio? I ask because I’m looking for a sub an IEM with similar quality to be used as an “on the go” IEM, biking, hiking, etc.
However, once you sync with the bone driver in the Mests, you will miss it more the closer you approach the sound signature. If you are going to beat it up, check the Katos for a dynamic or the S12 which have a good bang for the buck. For biking, I would strongly caution against any isolation. Maybe the new open Sonys might be better.
Isn’t the Tia trio head and shoulders Better than mest mk 2? I hear the bass and mid bass qualities on the trio are special. It doesn’t have as neutral of tuning as u12t but the technical performance is supposed to be top notch.
My experience with the IE300 was having me hope that the 600 would address some of the issues. Like you, I noticed that although the bass was very generous (especially so in the 300), that percussion lacked the firm edge that is needed for realism. Do you know of a set of earbuds that convey this realistic attack? (few things make you feel like you are seeing live music like the crack of a snare, or the skin tone of a kick drum!)
Those percussion attacks are attributed to the balance between lower midband (body sound) and the region just above the upper midband (aka the snap, crackle and pop region) around 2-4 KHz. The IE300 and IE900 are tilted downwards in this regard, so the body sound sort of masks the attack. The IE600, at least on paper, solves this issue.
@@gwapster13 thank you for explaining this to me! I have been searching for that 'real' sound and feel to percussion. This info will help me with my graph analysis. If you have any personal IEM faves that have these traits, I'd love to know! Thank You!
@@BillKinsman Thank you Bill! I do have them on my list to get! I picked up the Beyer Xelento Gen2 last week..looking for that 'special sound'. They are very good, but still not exactly what I want. Which means I need to get the next one on my list, the 900. My only hesitation has been the fact that my ears are very sensitive to treble spikes. I've always preferred the upper registers to play like honey. When I was working an audiophile shop, I always looked to the "british sound" in the ones I would demo for customers. They usually found them unimpressive, because they had firm bass and rolled treble. But I'd say, "sit in front of them for 2 hours, with a glass of scotch, and see how you feel". A 2 week demo later..and they were sold! The Xelentos have a great sound, with good coherency, firm bass, no artificial sub-sonic bass, and a clear and resolving high end. They only lack warmth in the midrange. I also grabbed a set of Audio64 NIos at the same time. (I'm going broke) They are also seductive and have holographic imaging, but soft, soft bass. I'll check back in after I get my 900s. I love Senns, so I hope this is the one! Thanks again!
The ie900 scales phenomenally well imo. It's waaay more capable than you think. But using whatever source gear I can definitely see the 600 being better overall. The tips, btw, you can probably get it from Sennheiser directly. Don't know why you would though cuz they suck! 😂
I get this feeling that “it scales well” is an audiophile euphemism for “it’s not great most of the time”. It plays the same tune to me as “it’s amp/source picky”. Sorry this is not meant to be a confrontational comment, but just my honest impression when I hear those phrases. 😀
@@gwapster13 I think it depends on what your goals are in this hobby. Personally I like looking at things holistically. That means thinking about the entire system and not just one aspect such as the transducer. I've been able to get more satisfying experiences having that mindset more than anything. But that's just me.
@@gwapster13 actually the sennheiser guy who Designs these said in an interview that the ie900 is designed to be eq'ed since he thinks that especially audiophiles should love that. That's why they designed these resonator chambers to minimize problems with EQing.
A history of confrontation between graph meters and music lovers. Since the 80s, music lovers have realized that the composition of a musical signal must meet at least one requirement - timbral fidelity. Hearing any signal does not mean its correct reproduction on different devices, it is important to identify it correctly. This requires a lot of practice of real live listening, not looking at charts. THAT DOESN'T HELP.
Will this be good for orchestras? Hifiman Anada, DT1990 Pro, and some good quality open backs are also in the price range, would you recommend this over those?
Yeah, I have to compare with a few others. I wish it hit on the kick with more realism when it is definitely in the mix (When the Levee Breaks) Intro. BOOM..tssh BOOM BOOM BOOM tssh
@@kyron42 The MELE bass is big, and the mids are slightly boosted to compensate. The treble is very relaxed. However, the MELE will never give you noticeable treble detail because of a slight rolloff. Why are we even comparing a $50 IEM to a $600 IEM? I have a theory about tuning single dynamic drivers. You can have 2 of 3, not all three: great bass, great mids, great treble. I think HBB got it right with great bass and neutral/forward mids, and missing a little on treble.
@@larrydunn4626 the Mele easily be boosted in the treble, or just use the Olina. Why spend a lot of money on an IEM when you can EQ it to just how you like it.
@@kyron42 there is a difference between tonality and detail. EQ only affects tonality. MELE lacks dertail. No EQ can change that. Some drivers just aren't able to deliver the detail of other drivers. For example the CNT driver of the Olina is capable of delivering better detail than the graphene driver of the MELE. You can't get detail with EQ that the driver has not transmitted to begin with. For another example, planar is a detail champ, more than any single DD can ever be, but some don't like the bass impact of planar drivers.
I just listened to the Dorado 2020 last night, after listening to the IE600 for a few days. Fiio M11 Plus, FLAC files, using the balanced cable for the IE600, using a 3.5mm super smoky litz cable for the Dorado. The IE600 has way louder/clearer highs. Took some time to readjust to the Dorado's sound. The highs are there, not veiled, just lower in volume I guess. Kinda like Audeze LCD-X, the highs are there, just not as forward. I don't know if I prefer one over the other, at this point. Both are made very well, and sound great to me. I like IEM's for mobility, so I don't judge them with my headphone amp and CD player. I usually use the IFI Blu, and the Sennheiser's sound great with that.
I thought the dogs were outside my window. I'm going to buy these drivers thanks for the ranking list z I don't care about the technology, I just want the best sound experience within my value price range < $1,000
In the video, you asked if the replacement tips are available. In the US I found them for about $45 including shipping (3 pairs). However, I found them from Great Britain for under $26 shipped to the US. In both cases from authorized dealers.
Lol. Between those gloves and your sweatshirt, it looks like you're prepared to handle bees. Were you about to go out and smoke the hives or something?
HELP! I just got the ie 900 and I have the ie 600 coming tomorrow. Should i keep both? Or return the ie 900? Or keep the 900 and send back the 600? Idk what to do! The 900 has three resonating chambers while the 600 has 2 but how it can sound better than the 900!
That little 7mm xwb driver is a beast, really impressed me on the 300. Impressed me so hard to return them and throw more money at it to get the 600...

The IE600 has way louder/clearer highs. Took some time to readjust to the Dorado's sound. The highs are there, not veiled, just lower in volume I guess. Kinda like Audeze LCD-X, the highs are there, just not as forward.
I don't know if I prefer one over the other, at this point. Both are made very well, and sound great to me.
I like IEM's for mobility, so I don't judge them with my headphone amp and CD player. I usually use the IFI Blu, and the Sennheiser's sound great with that.
What software are u using there?
I thought the dogs were outside my window. I'm going to buy these drivers thanks for the ranking list z I don't care about the technology, I just want the best sound experience within my value price range < $1,000
How is this comparable to HD6XX?
IEM cannot compete with TOTL headphones. Oh the HD6XX...IE600 has better slam and res
Because the 600 is not personally tuned there is a greater chance for manufacturing variations in the sound.
In the video, you asked if the replacement tips are available. In the US I found them for about $45 including shipping (3 pairs). However, I found them from Great Britain for under $26 shipped to the US. In both cases from authorized dealers.
Lol. Between those gloves and your sweatshirt, it looks like you're prepared to handle bees. Were you about to go out and smoke the hives or something?
That's an Oakley trainer top made for holding in sweat to lose water fast. I use it when I hit the heavy bag. Bees? Where? COME AT ME BROOOOOOOO!
How is it compared to shure aonic 4?
Olina, Dark Magician or IE600?
I hope you're doing well!!
Thanks Diminishing returns and "Gilding the Lily" come to mind. Olina is damn good. The DM is closer in price and will be a set I compare.
@@BadGuyGoodAudioReviews I already knew the answer 😂
Olina has closed the gap, it is what it is.
Thanx for replying!!
Ie600 vs xenns up they’re the same price !
I'd have to compare. Man, 700 for a DD
@@BadGuyGoodAudioReviews we’re waiting 🙃
@T2 Treasury nahh xenns up has way more going for it besides comfort
@T2 Treasury trust me you’re gonna love it just remember it needs some power
@FahadAlGraini any update impressions on your xenns up?
ie600 and ie800s which one do you think is better?
obviously the latter
dose anyone receive the ie600 box without the original unique QR code on back side?
It’s good but for solo piano (classical) it sounds too thin, detailed but thin.
HELP! I just got the ie 900 and I have the ie 600 coming tomorrow. Should i keep both? Or return the ie 900? Or keep the 900 and send back the 600? Idk what to do! The 900 has three resonating chambers while the 600 has 2 but how it can sound better than the 900!
I'd return 900 and keep the 600
Did you try both and how the sounds compare? Am planning to buy and am confused same as you.
If you like EQ'ing for certain playlists and listen to a lot of different music, than IE 900. Otherwise 600.
I don't know which to get. This or the Shure se846😫😆
The sure 846 are yuk
Go and buy IE 600 (I got IE 900 they are so special...that it is possible, you do not need them anyway) :-)
What’s in the black box to the left of the Topping? A new wireless set?
Powerbeats pro for training. Need those big earhooks
What’s that music software u play from?
Jriver
What's with the gloves 😳
vs FH9？
This is a more natural playback than FH9.
Buy this or your Kinda Lava edition of the EJ07m?
Kinda LAVA
Didn't know Sennheiser made IEMs! Also regarding ding the DQ6S refund... Yeah, not happening! Screw KZ! I'm gonna buy some Etymotic ER2XR.
I think KZ is actually doing a refund.
@@BadGuyGoodAudioReviews Not for me at least, I've been chatting with them on aliexpress for the past few days and they barely answer
@@BadGuyGoodAudioReviews true. Got my refund yesterday.
Comment for the algorithm

KZ be like driver count matters 🤣
Change ure tips maybe bro
I'd rather get a OH10 or Timeless or Kato and EQ to exactly how I like it.
Or even a Mele.
That little 7mm xwb driver is a beast, really impressed me on the 300. Impressed me so hard to return them and throw more money at it to get the 600...
timeless has trash tier comfort
Mmnnnnnn
